So – earlier today I popped out to try and sort out my next set of supplements for the upcoming month. I thought it was gonna be easy. I had a set that I thought would work beautifully. And I’m sure they would’ve – except for the fact that – well – the BSN (BSN’s the brand I wanted) distributor for Canada just decided to drop BSN! So – all the options I was expecting to have, I couldn’t have.
In place of that, the guys are the stores were really good. They made a number of suggestions that were really good. And turns out – it would make the whole thing cheaper in the end too. Yippee.
So – based on these new supplements… mostly I’ve bought replacements… some are different brands so I can try and see what they’re like. But – I’ve added some creatine monohydrate. Apparently the SuperPump I’ve been taking has only a really tiny amount of creatine in it. Which really surprised me, because that’s what I thought was pumping up the size of my muscle… I thought the water was being soaked up by the creatine and artificially inflating the muscles. Turns out, not as much as I thought – it’s happened to an extent, but not as great a one as I’d expected. Which is good.
I’ve also bought some meal replacements too – the mass gainers. Carb intake is considerable – it’s about 81g, but that’s more complex carbs … and it’ll be replacing the Booster Juices I’ve been having most days… replacing their high sugar content with something more appropriate.
So – in summary… I’ve updated my eating plan to accommodate for the above.
