How much change do supplements make?

firemansam Posts: 147 Joined: 2004/08/20	2006/05/31, 08:09 AM Im just starting up weights and exercise again after a long break, and am wondering how important supplements are, i have never used them before and was previously in pretty good shape. So I was just wondering how much difference you will see through using supplements? Will it make the gains much more? Will there be more bulk? Will gains be made faster? I realise that it would differ from person to person, but just wondering how important everyone sees them to be

The only one I'm really still hanging onto is whey.....and I'm not even sure if I'm gonna keep taking it when I run out. I'm starting to believe more and more, that for me to just workout, meaning not in competition, all I need to do is eat right, work out hard and get my rest. I know it'll be cheaper. I'll be out of whey soon, so we'll see. I won't be surprised if my results aren't the same. -------------- Days go by and life drags on.....

Maybe, and only maybe, 5% can be attributed to supplements. And this is when you have long ago maxed out your diet and genetic potential. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

But they are then sold, and cannot ever do without it again. This is what the supplement thrive on. :big_smile: ============ Quoting from firemansam: Thanks guys thats what i wanted to know ============= -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
