Post-Workout / Muscle Recovery
After a grueling workout, all you want to do is rest. But there’s one more crucial step you need to take to ensure your hard work pays off: nourishing your body with Post-Workout supplements. Why? When you workout, you deplete your muscle glycogen, the primary fuel your muscles use for energy production. After your workout, your hungry muscles are primed to absorb whatever nutrients you send their way—preferably high-glycemic carbohydrates to promote glycogen replenishment, a fast-acting protein to enhance nitrogen balance and amino acids to enhance recovery—which is why the quality of your post-workout supplements is so important. To help your body through recovery mode after intense training, and to turn your body from a catabolic (muscle breakdown) state into an anabolic (muscle growth) state, try products such as BioQuest’s MyoZene, MHP’s Dark Matter and ProSource’s After-Mass. Aside from the carbs, protein and amino acids (such as glutamine, taurine, arginine, glycine and alpha lipoic acid) mentioned above, some products in this category also contain creatine monohydrate, B vitamins and even botanicals. Help your muscles rebuild at the exact time they are most receptive to receiving nutrients, by following each session at the gym with a post-workout/recovery product.

Anti-Catabolics
When your workout is over and your muscles are screaming for fuel to repair the damage you’ve done, quick and targeted nutrition is a must. Without it, your muscles will simply feed on themselves and all of your potential gains will have been lost. To undo the damage and grow, you need BCAAs and glutamine to repair muscle tissue, carbs to restore depleted glycogen levels, and fast-action aminos (including whey isolate, and hydrolyzed whey) to jump start anabolism. Stop catabolic processes in their tracks with proper supplementation and you’ll derive maximum benefit from every workout.

Antioxidants
Vigorous workouts are the centerpiece of a healthy lifestyle. But they also generate storms of free radicals (the result of oxygen molecules that are converted into oxidizing agents during the cellular creation of energy) that can cause damage to body tissue. Fortunately, nature and our own bodily physiology offers a counterattack to these free radicals in the form of antioxidants. These helpful compounds (ranging from basic vitamins and minerals to botanical extracts to enzymes and alpha lipoic acid and Omega-3 fatty acids) are instrumental in mopping up free radicals and consequently reducing tissue damage and spurring recovery. Support your bodybuilding efforts and overall health with antioxidants.

Pre-Workout Supplements
Not taking the proper pre-workout formula of food and supplements is like trying to race your car down the street with no gas—you’re not going to get anywhere. In fact, you may actually be doing more harm then good, as your body will begin to use the muscles you worked so hard to develop as the next-best energy source. So, after your pre-workout meal, but before your workout, get a boost in energy, strength and endurance from one of the many Pre-Workout formulas on the market. Traditional pre-workout compounds—such as Bioquest's AlphaFury and Gaspari Nutrition’s Super Pump 250—include nitric oxide for increased pump, creatine monohydrate for building more muscle mass faster, caffeine for increased focus and energy, and the amino acid arginine for muscle growth, thanks to its vasodilating properties. Other formulas also contain such ingredients as phosphates, taurine, beta-alanine, B vitamins, L-glutamine, antioxidants, electrolytes and tyrosine, while some are most revered for what they don’t contain: sugar, caffeine and fillers, such as high-glycemic maltodextrin or artificial dyes. For an explosive workout with gym-rattling muscle pumps and through-the-roof endurance, set the tone of your workout before you even set foot in the gym with these pre-workout products.

Mass and Strength Builders
For bodybuilders looking to add serious size to their frame—in the form of lean muscle, of course, while minimizing fat gains—or any athlete looking to bulk up muscle mass, the popular solution is Mass Building supplements. These products are specifically formulated to help you pack on pounds of lean mass, which is why the mass-building category is one of the most crowded and fiercely competitive of all in today’s sports supplement marketplace. When you think mass building, you probably think of creatine, a natural derivate of an amino acid produced in the body that supplies energy to muscles. Supplementing with creatine products—such as MHP’s Dark Matter, BioQuest’s MyoZene or ProSource’s SynthaTrex Xtreme—helps you train harder before fatigue sets in while also hydrating muscle cells. Aside from creatine, mass-building products often contain additional branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), such as glutamine, beta alanine, taurine, tyrosine, tryptophan and leucine. Formulas for various fitness goals exist, including sugar-free to help keep your carb intake low or the inclusion of protein, carbohydrates, fat and electrolytes to make up an all-in-one powerhouse product. If your pursuit for more muscle seems never-ending, this mass-building supplement category is the answer you’ve been looking for.

Protein Powder
It’s the No. 1 rule in bodybuilding: Don’t short-change yourself on your protein intake. Why? Protein not only creates energy, but promotes muscle synthesis and recovery after workout. As a general rule, you should be eating about 1 gram of quality protein per pound of bodyweight. Because this macronutrient is essential to every bodybuilder’s arsenal, but can sometimes be hard to intake in large enough quantities, it’s no surprise there are dozens of types from which to choose. Among hardcore athletes, whey protein has long been favored for its anabolic power and potency. Studies show that whey protein—found in ProSource’s NytroWhey Ultra Elite, MuscleTech’s Nitro-Tech Hardcore Pro Series and Optimum’s 100% Gold Standard Whey—is easily digested and utilized by the body, rich in amino acids and can boost the immune system. For bodybuilders looking for even-faster alternative protein sources, the new whey hydrolysate formulations—consisting of partially digesting whey protein aminos designed to spur anabolism almost immediately upon digestion, are an excellent choice. BioQuest’s MyoZene Ultra Pro and MuscleTech’s premium proteins offer plenty of rapid action bang for your buck. Other products’ protein sources include egg albumin, calcium caseinate and milk protein isolate. With so many quality options on the market, your decision may simply come down to your palate—the competition for gourmet, milkshake-like flavors and consistency is equally fierce.
