Support your quest to stay fit and healhty over summer and the holidays with these top supplemnets from MuscleTech. Whether that means hitting the gym hard to gain some serious mass, or it's time to burn baby burn and get those abs of steal.
Here are our top 4 supps to keep you on track of your goals.
If you’re looking to build muscle and add mass to your frame, it’s a given you’ll be spending time in the gym but don’t forget that eating for muscle is important too. You’ll need to be in a calorie surplus or at least maintenance to bulk up, and what you eat is vital too. If you’re looking to perform at your best, eating protein-rich foods is key.
There is an overwhelming amount of information out there on how to “burn fat, lose weight now!” but it’s simple: if you want to lose weight, you need to eat in a calorie deficit. Work out what your weight loss goal is and break it down into a manageable weekly target. Make sure you increase your activity before decreasing your food, and never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep! If you struggle to stick to the plan, find yourself an accountability buddy. And be kind to yourself, always. Learn to love your body!
If you’re looking to improve your speed and agility, or perhaps you’re an athlete wanting to improve your performance in a fast-paced sport, then interval training and explosive movements are for you. Explosive exercises test your strength and speed but also reduce the risk of injury in sports that require quick acceleration. Don’t forget to incorporate weight training into your workout regime, and fuelling your body with fast-acting carbs before you train is key.
The most researched supplement couldn't be out of this list. Whether you prefer in a capsule form or powdered form, creatine is the supplement that should be in your stack. Creatine has been proven to support energy production during high intensity exercise and to assist muscle growth during resistance training. And remember that creatine is also great for promoting lean body mass during resistance training.
