I love being fit and feeling healthy. It is a lifestyle that I chose to live by simply because I love to be active, I love lifting weights, I love competing with myself and pushing my limits and most importantly I love how my body feels.
I am asked a lot of questions daily ranging from lifting programs, cardio, diet, if I train people, how much sleep I get etc....but the one question I am ALWAYS asked is what do I take?
Personally I think people want me to just say I am not natural in order to make them feel better. Its frustrating because I put a lot of work, sweat and dedication in to reach specific goals. They think it is completely impossible to transform my body the way I do when I compete.
The truth is I am 100% natural. However, it seems to me that there are different opinions of what "natural" is.
Knowing this, I would like to share with you what I take since I am always asked.
Some people argue that natural is not taking anything that is produced with chemicals and just eating food, well unless you are a farmer and you feed your live stock organic everything and don't put ANY chemicals on your harvests to protect from insects, you are ingesting chemicals, hormones and other various stimulants that are NOT natural for the human body. So I guess we are all not natural....
Anyways, back to the point at hand.
The truth is supplements are needed to support proper function in our every day lives, we can not get everything we need from whole foods, especially since most of our diets are not good in the first place.
Every supplement I take is for a reason, so without further a do, here is my current supplements and a little explanation why I take them.
Morning:
Before Breakfast:
Primal T (1st Phorm)-
Natural Testosterone booster, aids in utilizing more of your naturally occurring testosterone, (described this in detail in recent blog)
Compound 5 (1st Phorm)-
Aids in increasing threshold of your testosterone, also great for the male libido.
(described this in detail in recent blog)
With Breakfast:
Multi Vitamin M- Factor Hero (1st Phorm)-
Specifically developed for males (there is a female version as well) One of the most important supplements to take, but you get what you pay for if you catch my drift and the more you are active the more important this is.
Fish Oil- (Varies on Brand)-
Key is to ingest 3600 mg of a properly purfied Omega 3 daily for many benefits that include helping inflamation and supporting good cholesterol levels.
Vitamin C (Varies)-
Supports immune system.
Saw Palmetto (Varies)-
Prostate Health
Milk Thistle (Varies)-
Supports a healthy liver.
CoQ10 (Varies)-
Heart and muscle health (100 mg Daily)
Calcium (Varies)
Supports bone structure
Mid Morning Snack:
Level One Protein (1st Phorm)-
Mix of Concentrate and Isolate protein to act as a meal, ICE CREAM SANDWICH is insane!
Lunch:
Fish Oil
Milk Thistle
Vitamin C
Mid Afternoon:
Shakeology- (Beachbody)
Meal Replacement
Primal T (1st Phorm)-
2nd dose
Compound 5 (1st Phorm)-
2nd dose
Prior To Workout:
Mega Watt HD (1st Phorm)-
Preworkout, includes beta alanine and creatine among other important energy components to get you focused and ready to attack your workout.
Post Workout:
Phormula 1 (1st Phorm)-
Micronized Isolate Protein, this is the ONLY type of protein you should take immediately after a workout, ISOLATE BASED!
Ignition (1st Phorm)-
Glucose matrix, Glycogyn is depleted post workout and in order to aid in the building and support process of your muscles, this acts as a catalyst to get the protein into your muscle fibers the quickest.
BCAAs (Varies)-
My protein already has this, but I always add additional to make sure I am not lacking in this area, without you will not be able to build muscle quickly.
Well, there it is in black and white.
Sounds pretty simple right, not exactly the key to transformation will still always be your nutrition plan.
As I stated numerous times, I have taken many supplements over the years and realize that supplements are not all the same.
I chose to be a part of 1st Phorm and their family because they manufacture everything the way its supposed to be, besides that they stand by their product 100%. If it doesn't work for you, they will take it back, not many supplement companies, hell any companies do this anymore. Added bonus the flavors are so good I have people asking me if they can just drink the protein all day.
In closing, if you are unsure what you need to take, want more in depth reasons why your body needs certain things or have any other questions please reach out to me.
You want results, put a plan together, get your diet down and choose the supplements you need to reach your goals!!!!
