Choosing The Right Bodybuilding Supplement
Before wasting your money on a pile of bodybuilding supplements you really need to work out what you are hoping to achieve. Don't lose sight of the fact that sound nutrition forms the basis of any muscle building program and no amount of supplementation with the latest and greatest products will make up for bad eating habits. The bottom line is, bodybuilding supplements should be used IN ADDITION to regular food, not INSTEAD OF it.
Now that we've got that out of the way, let's go on to think about what supplements could be of use and this is something that can only be determined by your physical and performance goals. Don't make the mistake of copying your training partners or believing all the garbage spouted in magazine ads. Decide first what you want to achieve and then choose the supplements that will help you reach your goals.
To help you make an informed choice, the most popular and useful bodybuilding supplements available today are listed below, broadly divided into two goal-related categories.
Determined to build muscle? This cannot be achieved without dedication, sheer hard work and sound nutrition. With a solid foundation in place you can help the process along with supplements like creatine, whey protein, prohormones, testosterone boosters and amino acids.
Need to lose fat? There is no point in building awesome muscles if they're covered by layers of fat. Once again, the key to success is hard work but you can boost fat loss by using products from supplement categories that include fat burners, stimulant-free products, appetite suppressants and carb blockers.
Many more supplements are available to support your bodybuilding endeavors. These include energy boosters and products aimed at enhancing the condition of your mind and body. As we progress through this series of articles we'll look at each of these in turn.
BONUS : Choosing Meal Replacement Powder
Gaining weight only happens one way. When consume more calories than you expend, you gain weight. It's a lot like a bank account. If you put more in than you take out, the balance grows.
But many people simply cannot consume enough calories by eating only three meals a day to gain weight. Weight gain, loss, or maintenance also depends upon calories expended. Michael Phelps, the great American swimmer, consumes between 8,000 and 10,000 calories every day just to maintain his weight. That's four or five times more calories than the average person of Phelps's height and weight would need to consume to maintain body weight.
It's best to eat six meals each day rather than the traditional three meals each day if you want to gain weight. Now nobody is going to prepare six meals a day, but fortunately, there's a way to get those additional three meals quickly and easily. They're called MRPs.
MRP is an acronym for Meal Replacement Powder. MRPs are not magic powders that will make you gain weight or build muscle mass. MRPs are exactly what the name implies. They are healthy, well-balanced, calorie-rich meals of convenience.
You don't need a stove or even a microwave oven to prepare an MRP for consumption. All you need is the MRP powder, some liquid (water), and a shaker. You can have a nutritious meal anytime, anywhere.
MRPs aren't going to win any taste contest. Actually, you might say that they are an "acquired" taste. You aren't ever likely to opt for an MRP rather than a T-bone steak dinner. But MRP's can supply your body with the calories and the necessary nutrients easily, quickly, and conveniently, and MRPs are far superior to the alternative  NOTHING.
