How's it going guys, i've just started my new routine and have been eating right lately. Now i've heard all the info on supplement taking but is it all hype?

My current regime has me working out 4 days a weeks and doing cardio 5 days. I've just completed my first week of it and believe me i FEEL IT.... soreness every where... but i guess that means it's working.

My question is, is it wise for me to take a metabolizer such as Xenadrine/Creatine/Ripped Fuel.. etc? I mean i'm still young? What do you guys think? Which supplements should i really consider?

I really appreciate all the help thanks.

Best recommended supplement:

Protein

Stay away from Ephedrea stuff unless you monitor yourself closely. A lot of people feel weird on it.

Sounds like you do a lot of cardio anyway, why use any fat burning supplement at all? You've already got the #1. Increasing your metabolism. Eat a lot of healthy foods such as oats, complex carbs and proteins to keep your body burning all day long. Food can be very thermogenic as well. You can experiment with some fat burners, but I honestly think some green tea, a good diet and intense cardio will do more for you then anything. If you do choose to try something like you listed above, monitor yourself closely and quit taking it the first time you don't feel "right."

If you are sore, that's good. But soreness isn't the only indication. Take a journal to the gym. Track your progress. Progressively overload the machines or weight and increase he intensity. If over a month you see some real progress, that is the best indicator that it's working.

A lot of it's hype but no all of it. Smile

I'd strongly advise against anyone taking ephedra products. In addition to the irregular heart patterns, they also have addicting potential and will cause depression (depends on the person, from mild to severe) if used during long periods of time.

If you need a quick energy boost before a workout nothing beats a good old fashioned cup of joe! (i'm dead serious)
