I'm interested to hear peoples takes on the supplements and recovery drinks?
What works for you?
How do you fit them in with training?
What to buy and where from?
The recovery drink seems to work well for me, I am only a couple of weeks in to the program. I haven't tried the p90x drink, can't remember the blog which recommended it but I use this http://www.myprotein.com/uk/products/recovery_xs after a work out, I get really tired this puts me back to wide awake again just tired muscles. Still haven't got the diet right so that is probably part of it.What works for you?

Shall I take a bow? 
BCAA's are interesting because I put off using it for a long time due to the science being flaky but then when I started sipping it during training (I use powder + water, tastes like cat sick!) I found my recovery to be massively improved.

Yes Ordinary Chap suggested them and to be honest they must be working because I'm no where near a stiff or sore from the workouts. You will always feel a little stiff but nothing which causes any issues. Would recommend.
I take them in tablet form.
Also I take CLA tablets to help break down fat while doing a lot of cardio and good diet. And like a multi Vit tablet.

The taste would put me off.

Can't you add fruit juice or something to it?
If you want!Rock !SOLID! !KILL EVERY MOFO! Whey Protein...
For Real Men who don't take no s
t!In two great flavours: Strawberry Sundae and Caramel Fudge.
I mean, real men would drink beef flavour protein shake... or cast iron filings flavour... or radioactive waste flavour.

Where did you get it from?
Amazon - £106 delivered. You can get secondhand ones on Ebay but I couldn't be bothered waiting for the end on an auction. Besides, I' m happy to pay £100 if it works.
My DVDs have been posted now so hoping to start on Monday. The wife is going to do it with me so we need to work out whats the best time of day, i.e. in the morning with our son tearing around, or in he evening once he's gone to bed.
I'm on day 3 of my reduced calorie diet now too. Aiming for around 1600-1700 calories a day and it's surprisingly easy to hit. Cut out all food after 6pm and have cut down on the carbs whilst upping the protein. Once I have the P90x diet planner then I'll see how that fits with what I'm doing.

Anyway I prefer to drink something water based when training and my lazyness in buying any flavouring drops or similar is the reason I drink it with water alone.
The truth is always so much duller right?

I would recommend following the diet and exercise to the letter unless you know better... otherwise, results may differ.Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
