Creatine

We’ve espoused the benefits of creatine too man times to count, but for good reason: Most guys’ strength increase by at least 10% after just a few weeks of consistent creatine use. The supplement elevates the level of creatine phosphate in your blood, which boost levels of ATP ( the energy source muscle use to contract) in the muscle. Take 2-5 grams once on rest day and immediately before and after workout on training days. Almost every supplement company sell creatine, but the better one include cell-tech by muscle Tech, nitrobolic by vyotech and cellmass by BSN

Gakic

Gakic is composed of three common amino acids; ingested together, they have synergistic effects on your strength. When taken with arginine, glycine can boost growth hormone levels and creatine synthesis in the body. It also enhances the firing of nerves that stimulate muscle contraction, which in turn improves strength. Arginine increase level of growth hormone and nitric oxide (NO), the gas that helps deliver more blood to exercising muscles. Alpha – ketoiso caproic acid is a form of the amino acid leucine that is readily converted to hydroxyl beta methylbutyrate, a substance that can build muscle mass and prevent muscle breakdown. KIC helps remove ammonia from the body during exercise , which decrease muscle fatigue. Gakic has been proven to increase muscle force and inhibit fatigue, meaning it may increase your strength by allowing you to lift more weight and complete more reps with a given weight

Green tomato extract

This supplement increase the number of blood vessels and thus oxygen, nutrients and anabolic hormones – that supply muscle. In terms of training, this means greater strength gains and muscle growth. A recent unpublished study reported that men who weight trained three times per week and consumed GTC once per day gain two time more strength than the placebo group on the bench press and more than three times the strength on the leg press over a six week period.
