Starting with supplements

This week I started adding some supplements to my diet. I ordered several products from bodybuilding.com. I purchased some Optimum 100% Whey Protein, BSN NO-Xplode, and BSN CellMass. I spent some time reading a lot of articles on the site, but I was still left not knowing what I wanted to try. I ended up looking at their top selling products, then researching those items, and I ended up selecting some of them. I figured these would be the products other people find useful.

The NO-Xplode is taken pre-workout, on and empty stomach, and the CellMass is taken 1 serving post workout (and a second daily serving also on an empty stomach). At fist I really didn’t like the taste, I was mixing just the product in water. I have since started adding ice to chill the water, and it is much more pallet able. One problem I have run into is my meal times. I have to time it so that I can take the NO-Xplode a few hours after eating, an our before training, then I can’t eat for another hour after my workout because the CellMass is taken on an empty stomach.

Since I have started these supplements about 5 days ago, I have gone up on the weights I am lifting, and also the frequency that I am going to the gym (4 full workouts in the last 5 days). I am a little sore from my workouts, but not a lot. When I jog I feel some soreness, but when resting or stretching I feel fine. I think these products are having a positive effect.

I’ll post some more after a little more time with the products.
