Hey all..
just wondering, specifically from people that train at least everyday..
do you use any protein supplements and if so what do you use, im a bit lost when it comes to which proteins to be taking and what not.
My goal is firstly for recovery but also for more muscle definition.
I've been taking syntha 6 by BSN which seemed ok.
Also wanting to give NO-XPLODE try, people with experience with these products or other good ones, any insight would be dearly appreciated!

I take syntha 6 and I like it. NO-Explode made me feel terrible. I have also talked to other people who have had the same reaction, it felt like a bowling ball was in my stomach, and it made me poo like crazy.

JACK3D by USP Labs was much better imo. No jittery feeling and I had no ill feelings in my stomach, plus it was cheaper. Pre-workouts get mixed reviews as far as usefulness go though.

HI,
I have taken both products NO-Xplode and synthia6. They are both good products but No-Xplode is ment to take it before fitnes training, it is not good for cardio training or in you're case bjj. Synthia 6 should do the trick (recovery) but if you want definition you should also take care of nutrition as a whole, cus definition is a result of hard training and good nutrition plan.

I did a little test on myself before European in Lisbon this year. I trained bjj 6 time per week and 3-4 time running in the hill in the morning for cardio and i didn't take any suplements at all!! I just eat good and quality food (chicken, brown rice, vegetables etc.) with no sweets and my conditioning was top notch.

To make a long story short, protein shakes are good to take but if u don't take them you wont do no harm if you nutition overal is good.

Supplements are exactly that, supplements. They're not meant to replace a nutritious diet. Do your diet first, then add supplements if needed (most isn't).

I currently train 7 days a week and close to 35 hours a week (both conditioning and jiu-jitsu). I have a good diet of chicken, brown rice, and veggies. For my supplements, I only take a select few things. I take the GNC triple fish oil and GNC Triflex both for my joints. It is essentially a lot of glucosamine. Training so much puts a stress on my joints and the extra glucosamine has helped me out a lot. I mainly have noticed in in my fingers. My fingers dont hurt so much anymore from so much gi training. I also take a Acai supplement that helps boost my metabolism as I am trying to drop weight. It is all organic and is made from Acai and therefore also a good detox.

Overall I have been feeling really good even though I am training so much. But I agree with everyone else. As long as your diet is good, you dont really have to take any supplements.

I may just stick to Syntha-6 but start to add some more clean eating to my diet, i eat shitloads of breastchicken as it is, but im thinking maybe i should add brown rice as well by the sounds of things.

Brown Rice and Sweet Potato are both good complex carbs. Another thing you might want to add to your stack is a post workout. The next day I don't feel sore or tired, however It's a bit on the expensive side and a little hard to find but it's great.
