Hey folks,
Started lifting weights again a few weeks ago in an overdue and probably too late effort to get into shape and put some muscle on my pear shaped frame before I get too old.
I know there must be at least a few gym rats on this forum, so thought I'd ask here as I am a newbie.
Specifically about supplements. I know a good diet (in a slight calorie deficit) is more important, but what are some actually effective supplements I can take to help? Currently taking whey and creatine monohydrate only. I don't do caffeine except in coffee form. Has anyone had good experience with other stuff? There seems to be a million supps out there with conflicting reports.
Not interested in roids or hormone stuff.
Also not interested in prepackaged preworkout powders. Tried it once and broke out in hives for a week, and since they have a lot of different ingredients, I have no idea what I was allergic to.
My goals are to get stronger and body recomposition.
Thanks in advance!
