Lee's Top 5 Bodybuilding Supplements



Here is a list of my top 5 favorite supplements. These are the ones that I use personally year round and consider "must have" supplements.


Protein Powder: Your body needs protein, and lots of it. It is the building block of muscle. Without enough protein in the body, muscle mass will not increase. During your weight training workouts, your muscles are getting broken down. In order to rebuild and repair your muscles, your body needs protein. It is as simple as that.

Protein powder is a really convenient and inexpensive way to get extra protein in your diet. All bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts need to eat at least 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. Getting this much protein from food alone can be tough. But by adding a couple protein drinks per day you'll easily be able to get extra protein in your diet.

Protein powder is also a lot cheaper then high protein foods.
To show you the cost savings just look at this example:

A 5 lb. container of Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein is $31.95.

There are 77 scoops of protein per container, each scoop contains 21 grams of protein. So there is approx. 1617 grams of protein per container.

To get the same amount of protein from beef you would have to buy 20 lbs. of beef. At $5 per pound of beef this works out to be $100.

Optimum Nutrition makes some of the best protein supplements. They mix well, taste good, and are well priced.


Creatine: increases protein synthesis and minimizes protein breakdown. This can increase lean muscle mass, improve performance in high-intensity exercise, increase energy levels, and speed up recovery rates. Creatine is 100% natural and occurs naturally in many foods, but to get the best benefit bodybuilders and athletes should supplement their diets with creatine.

For your money the best creatine supplement is Pure Creatine Monohydrate. You can get a 1000 grams of Pure Pharmaceutical Grade Creatine Monohydrate for just $26.95. This works out to less then $0.14 per serving.


Greens: studies show that phytonutrients such as chlorophyll, polyphenols, carotenoids and other antioxidants help protect the body from free radical damage. Greens are rich in phytonutrients which help support the body's self defense mechanism, detoxify and nourish the body. A serving of Greens is approx. the equivalent to 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables.

In my opinion Green Defense is one of the best antioxidant supplements. They are a must have supplement for overall health and well being.


EFA's: Essential Fatty Acids are the "good fats". They are important for immune system development, digestive support, healthy brain function, soft and smooth skin, circulatory health, and anti-aging benefits. Essential Fatty Acids are necessary fats that humans cannot synthesize, and must be obtained through diet. EFAs are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from linolenic, linoleic, and oleic acids.

One of the best EFA supplements is Udo's Oil. This contains an ideal 2:1 ratio of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids, proven by research to benefit cardiovascular health, enhance stamina and energy, and improve general health and well-being.


Multi-Vitamins: it makes sense to get the Daily Recommended Values for vitamins and minerals just in case you don't get them from food. Many people run short on some key nutrients, possibly raising their risk of heart disease, weakened bones, nerve damage, etc.

Multi-Pro 32X is designed specifically for the important nutritional demands of the hard training athlete. This multi-vitamin, multi-mineral dietary supplement is rich in potent antioxidants and supplies demanding muscles with key vitamins and minerals needed to perform optimally under stressful conditions.

Of course, you can't expect supplements to make up for a lousy diet. Supplements or no supplements, you still have to eat a healthy well balanced diet. But a healthy diet and proper supplementation can be the best of both worlds.
