My Personal Supplement Strategy

Well I’m going to put myself out there today and show you my personal supplement strategy. The idea here is not to say that this is the exact strategy for you, or that mine is the best etc.

The idea is to give you some ideas that will help you develop your own, unique to you. This list I have is based on years of research, studies, and personal experimentation. It works for me. When I don’t take some of these supplements, I feel worse after a few weeks. For example, if I stop taking Glucosamine Chondroitin, my joints start to hurt after a few weeks. I have several athletic friends over 40 who tell me the same thing.

Here’s the video of me with my mini pharmacy of pills and potions I take every morning. More

The fastest growing segment of the supplement industry right now has got to be pre-workout drinks. According to one industry insider I talked to at FitCon, “Everybody’s using them.” Well, I think he’s right.

I know I am. And I have for some time. When I was getting ready for the national championships in Olympic distance triathlon, my coach gave me 3 months worth of pre and post workout supplements. I had never used them before, but boy was I hooked! The very first day I took the pre workout I could feel the difference. I felt stronger, could work harder, and just generally felt better during my workout. I took them from then on. The only problem was the one I took preparing for nationals was $3 a dose… way to expensive. More
