Guys, does taking ammino acid supplements have any value in building muscle? Some say it’s a gimmick. Others say that after a workout ( primarily weight training) it’s a great idea to take ammino supplements.
They say it prevents excessive soreness.
What do you guys think?

Aminos are very important. There is no major body building whey protien supplement that does not provide aminos already in the powder. Aminos help synthasize protien into the muscle which helps to heal muscle this makes ones muscle bigger and stronger.
Does one need additional amno acid suppllemenys? Prolly not.
Personally I use a high quality whey protien as well as creatine and a vitamin pack plus additional omegas 3 6 and 9.
These work for me.

Hey guys, here’s a quick overview of the ABC diet:
This works great when training to bulk up and when limited to 2 months and a week in duration at a time.
2 weeks overfeeding phase.
For this phase you eat anywhere from 1 and a half to 2 times your usual calories.
So let’s say you regularly eat 2000 calories a day. You eat 3000-4000 a day for 2 weeks.
Food should consist of a good mix of pasta, lean meat, bread, dairy and fruits and vegetables.
Then after 2 weeks you cut down to four fifths of your usual caloric intake.
So at 2000 regularly you would cut to 1600 calories for a week.
Then go back to 3000-4000 for 2 more weeks. The whole diet should last for 2 months and a week then revert to normal for another 2 months.
This is a very effective diet for maximizing muscle gain for a 6 month to a year period. You’ll definitely make some great gains.
As always you should consult a doctor before implementing any type of extreme dieting.
