The Muscle-Building Supplements That ACTUALLY Work
What’s the fastest way to gain muscle? Exercise is the most potent stimulus for muscle-building, but these 3 supplements can significantly enhance the effects. Add these 3 muscle-building supplements to your regimen to build muscle fast!
0:00 Introduction: The best supplements for muscle growth
0:28 Amino acids for muscle growth
0:53 Barriers to muscle growth
1:20 Overtraining
2:20 Creatine for muscle growth
3:26 The best foods for muscle-building
4:29 Genetic barriers to muscle-building
Today, we’re going to talk about the best supplements to build muscle fast! Don’t bother taking single amino acids for muscle growth! Double-blinded studies have shown this isn't an effective way to build muscle or increase muscle growth. Amino acids can also turn into sugar, which can increase your blood sugar.
Avoid tribulus and fenugreek if you are building muscle. These compounds can increase testosterone, but not enough to build muscle.
As we age, testosterone decreases and cortisol increases. This combination can hinder muscle building. Overtraining can also significantly increase cortisol and shut down testosterone. Cholesterol is vital for essential hormones like testosterone, so avoid low-cholesterol and low-fat diets if you want to build muscle.
Insulin resistance can hinder muscle growth. Insulin resistance is often caused by frequent eating and high-carbohydrate diets.
Sleep is vital for muscle building because most muscle growth occurs while sleeping! Magnesium glycinate can help you sleep and also helps make energy to feed your muscles.
Try these top 3 muscle-building supplements to boost muscle growth and increase muscle size.
1. Creatine monohydrate
Creatine is found naturally in red meat. It increases ATP, performance, energy during workouts, and hydration, and directly increases muscle stimulus.
2. Whey protein
Whey protein powder provides leucine, which stimulates muscle growth. It also contains the other amino acids vital for muscle building.
3. Zinc
Zinc helps increase testosterone, and even a mild zinc deficiency can decrease testosterone production. Testosterone is vital for building muscle size and strength.
If you want to build muscle, consume grass-fed red meat. It contains creatine, amino acids, zinc, vitamin B12, and carnosine. It also contains healthy fat and cholesterol to help boost testosterone. Eggs and fish also support muscle-building.
