What supplements for lean muscle

[Sa Calobra]

No water rention so I think Creatin is out?

I cycle and I think post ride my body is eating into the muscle that I'm trying to build in the gym so a supplement to feed/dual use after a ride would be good too.

I've just started using protein powder from Holland & Barrett.

You don't need supplements - just eat more and eat clean.

That's alot of protein. I work long shifts so hit the work gym before or after work.

I eat good but to eat enough protein would mean alot of chicken. That's not practical and not cheap

Try Beta-Alanine

It is a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid that comes into the body through foods that are rich in protein.

Ordered and ordered vegan blend from my protein blimey it's cheap online!!

Yep Endurance, strength etc.

I need to rebuild my leg muscles following two months of that bad flu earlier this year.

After one ride my leg muscles ache for days especially my quads so I need some extra help.

Reading up on creatine it can accelerate hair loss!

A week in of using the H&B stuff I can see improvements and not as fatigued.

I'm around 104kg/6ft2 but ideally I'd like to drop to 95kg. After another week I'll remove bread/rice/pasta completely from my diet and the twice weekly (butchers) bacon butties will have to go and be a once monthly treat

The side effects are hideous
