What do you think are the best bodybuilding suplements?

I have to disagree with lots of what the last guy said but he is correct when he says stick to a healthy diet. Remember, suppliments (The Natural Ones) are just that to suppliment your already existing diet. Whey protien is good, also creatine naturally occurrs in your body and that suppliment will help your performance. L-Glutamine will help your muscles repair themselves. Other than those as long as your diet is balanced then a multivitamin can not hurt.

I have tried creatine and the only effect it had on me was to reduce my bank balance.  It is also worth pointing out that it is not considered a doping drug (i.e. athletes can take it).  This suggests that it doesn't have a big effect on performance.  Whey protein is about the only worthwhile supplement, everything else is really for the professionals who want to gain a tiny advantage.  I have tried most supplements and have come to the conclusion that they are just money making fads.  \n\nLifting heavier and heavier weights is the only way to pack on extra muscle.  Obviously this becomes more difficult as the weights get heavier as you need spotters.  On the spotter point, I train on my own, yet I never have a problem getting a spotter on my heavier sets.  Just ask another gym member, normally they are only too willing to help out.\n\nAlso, are you eating enough?  The quickest way to put on muscle is to have periods of bulking and ripping.  Personally I bulk up twice a year and then aim to get ripped at Christmas time and then again in the summer.  In the bulking periods I eat and eat and normally put on an extra 15 or so pounds.  My strength goes rapidly up during these periods as my body has everything it needs to repair and pack on muscle (i.e. extra calories and plenty of vitamins).  I do this for about 6-8 weeks then I cut my calorie intake down to BMR - 500.  In about 6 weeks I am then back to my normal weight + a pound or two of extra muscle.\n\nHope this help.

Simple to the point answer workout full body routines 3 times a week. While eating 5-6 meals a day with carbs and fat and at least 1-1.5 grams of protien per pound of bodyweight, or just eat as much as you possibly can whenever you can but make sure its good food not greased up trash.\n\nThat would be the first to things you can start now. Supplementation isn't needed just yet since your diet and workout aren't setup yet, but if you absolutley had to get something get some whey protien and a multi vitamin. \n\nFull body routines consist of major compound movements that will put strength and muslce on you. Bench, deadlifts, squats, military press, chinups/pullups. Don't focus on doing any curls or isolation movements early on since you dont have the muscle to properly utilize those movements.\n\nhttp://www.t-nation.com  http://www.bodybuilding.com

When I used to lift weights, I used whey protien, creatine and had success with both. I still use the whey protien and eat lots of egg whites, and chicken. You may also want to look into NO2, it is a supplement that I personally have not used, though have heard it is very good.

Number 1 is just a proper diet. If you are not eating right, you will see maximum gains. 90% of building muscle is your diet. Make sure you are eating properly.\n\nAfter that, whey protein is good supplement. I use it 3 to 4 times a day, and have very good results. I use when I first wake up in the morning, right before bedtime, and with any meal that is low in protein.\n\nThird is creatine. This stuff is awesome. It allows you to lift heavy weights for longer time, thus overloading the muscles more.\n\nThere are many more supplements out there. These are the top 3 that I use. Do some reseach on other stuff (like NO2, Glutamine, and others), and decide if you need it or not. It really is a personal choice.

Bench Press and the inclined Bench Press!\n\nThat makes me feel and look the strongest and its one of the few excersizes where I dont have to do an absurd amount of repitions. ...if you want a whole nice looking upper body at once do an ab workout that day or the day before. It makes my whole upper body look good.

meats and nuts.  You only want to eat lots of protein when your building muscle.  Otherwise just keep a small amount in your daily diet

if you go on to food network alton brown has a recipe for protein bars that have the best of everything for your body. Make those to get the best for your body. My hubby is a personal trainer and he uses Bally's protein drinks and weight gainers. He likes them. I've tried them and they are ok.

Just try to eat more. DO NOT eat more junk food.  Just More stuff like Rice, beans, chicken breasts, ground turkey, and veggies. That stuff will help you grow in a cleaner way. plus its easier for your body to assimilate that stuff than. A whey protein or other kind of protein. Bodybuilders eat 6-7 times a day! Just keep you routine going and you'll grow. It also depends very much in your age and what type of exercises you are doing. use heavy weights and keep it to low reps.

Eat protein, whey, and exercise. Body building would probably be best, but even runnng is good.

There are no magic supplements out there.  The ones promoted by the "bodybuilding" community are scams to sell money - all the top (and most amateur) pro bodybuilders are on some form of "steroid" cycle.  If you want to build bigger muscles you need to concentrate on basic lifting exercises such as squats, bench and overhead presses and take the money that you would have spent on supplements and buy good wholesome foods and make sure you eat 3-5 good meals a day.  A protein shake can help you get more calories also - as you are bulking up expect to put on alittle fat, 3 sessions a week of 20-30 minutes of cardio will keep it in check.  When you get to the weight you are happy with you can adjust your diet and exercise to "cut up".\n\nAs to the person who says I think I know everything - well I don't but I do have my bacheklor in nutrition and exercise physiol;ogy and have been in the field for over 20 years so I have seen the supplements that supposedly work come and go.

Go to forum.bodybuilding.com and ask the question there.  The good people on those forums would be a lot better off helping you than the people here.

I don't think there is one program that is recognized as "the best". But, you can find alot of great training programs that colleges use online. They will include specific weight lifting routines based on what position you play.
