As winter sets in, it's the perfect time to commit to building muscle mass. And contrary to popular belief, it's perfectly possible to gain muscle without putting on excessive fat, by following well-tuned strategies (consider that a coach can really make a difference!). To maximize your gains this winter, here are four supplements I recommend to support your progress.
One of the most common questions I get asked is: "If you had to choose just one supplement to take, what would it be?". My answer is always the same: a good multivitamin! With all the supplements available - proteins, amino acids, omega-3s, probiotics - it's easy to get lost... However, if you're looking to simplify your routine while ensuring that your basic nutritional needs are covered, the multivitamin is, in my opinion, the ideal option.
When it comes to maximizing muscle growth, maintaining lean mass or optimizing recovery, what you consume during your workouts is almost as important as your efforts in the gym. It may be worth considering the use of complete proteins during your bodybuilding sessions. Yes, it may seem a bit of a strange approach when you're used to hearing that it's better to consume your shake after training, but I'll explain my point of view, based on the most recent studies!
Today, I'm going to talk to you about proteins! I know you may feel a little lost with all the options available: whey proteins, isolates, beef proteins, plant proteins... You're not alone, and I'm here to help you sort it all out! My aim is to clearly explain the differences between these proteins, so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
Today, I'm talking about collagen! This protein is often at the heart of discussions when it comes to skin and hair beauty, joint health or slowing down the effects of aging. But did you know that there are different types of collagen supplements, each with its own specific benefits? In this article, I'm going to shed some light on two different formulas offered by ATP LAB: the Total Radiance Collagen and Syner Collagen. Let's find out together which one is right for you!
Cortisol is often perceived as a "bad guy" in the world of health and fitness, associated with stress and negative effects on the body. We've seen a ton of Tiktok videos on the subject, but is this really the case? In reality, cortisol plays a crucial role in our bodies, and its influence can be beneficial or harmful, depending on the time of day and how it's managed!
Today, I'm giving you an introduction to magnesium, a mineral that's crucial to our health, but often overlooked! Although it's one of my favorite supplements, it's important to note that not everyone necessarily needs to take it in supplement form. However, many people are deficient in magnesium, which can unknowingly affect their overall well-being! Before rushing to take supplements, it's always advisable to check your magnesium levels with a blood test to confirm any deficiency.
Yes, if you asked me for ONE supplement to help you recover, I'd probably tell you to take a supplement that promotes restful sleep, whether it's magnesium, melatonin, theanine, ashwagandha, etc. Sleep is the secret weapon of recovery!
