supplements

Subject Description

I train mixed martail arts. I do it more for the simple fact of being in shape, but some time next year I hope to compete. Does anyone here use supplements (creatine, protein etc). What do you guys think is best geared towards martial arts?

Men's Health did a great write-up on creatine a while back. Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/2nngon

 

When it comes to protein, do your research into not only how much you need (and what kind<0 but WHEN you need it. Timing is perhaps the most important part. In a nutshell, you need it to be available for your body when your body requires it, and that's around 1/2 hour either side of your workout.

I'd also suggest that you make sure you're getting a good multivitamin. Get your mineral and hormone levels in balance, too.

 

Oh and that 5 fruits and veggies a day thing? Don't ignore that.
