you should know about it.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #aa0000;\"><strong>1. Whey Protein<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is probably the most popular and well-known of all the supplements.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll see people chugging this down at the gym after a workout and with good reason.<\/p>\n<p>Whey protein is, unsurprisingly, packed full of protein.<\/p>\n<p>The average man needs 0.8g of protein per kilogram of body weight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That means if you weigh 80kgs (approximately 175 pounds), you\u2019ll need 64g of protein a day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re exercising and working out, such as if you\u2019re doing the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.fitfatherproject.com\/products\/old-school-muscle-osm?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=best-supplements-muscle-growth&utm_content=&utm_campaign=ff30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Old School Muscle<\/a> plan several times a week, you\u2019ll need between 1.2g and 1.5g of protein per kg.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s between 96g and 120g of protein for a 175-pound man.<\/p>\n<p>In theory, you can get the protein you need from the food you eat, and this may work if you\u2019re not exercising.<\/p>\n<p>But, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll hit 100g just from the food you eat; that\u2019s where whey protein comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Protein is essential for the process of protein synthesis; this is how your body repairs tears in your muscles.<\/p>\n<p>These tears are caused when you\u2019re lifting and pushing your limits.<\/p>\n<p>As the tears are repaired, your muscles grow bigger and stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Whey protein is broken down and absorbed very quickly by your body, making it the perfect choice post-workout.<\/p>\n<p>It will help your body recover and boost muscle growth.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that whey protein is not the only protein supplement.<\/p>\n<p>You can also get casein protein which is absorbed much slower into your body.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good choice to keep your protein levels high while you sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Other alternatives include egg protein, pea, brown rice, or hemp.<\/p>\n<p>These are generally very good if you\u2019re vegetarian or just want something more organic.<\/p>\n<p><em>Watch this video to find out how much protein you really need and calculate your daily protein intake!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\"

muscle growth pre-workout.<\/p>\n<p>It is actually one of the most researched supplements making it much easier to give credit to its claims as one of the best supplements for muscle growth.<\/p>\n<p>Creatine actually occurs naturally in your body, 95% of what is in your body is in your muscle cells.<\/p>\n<p>Your muscles use it as an energy source.<\/p>\n<p>By adding creatine into your diet<strong> just before a workout<\/strong>, you should have more energy available during the workout.<\/p>\n<p>Creatine will allow you to push yourself harder, encouraging the small muscle tears that heal and grow your muscles.<\/p>\n<p>The average person should get between 1-3 grams of creatine per day just to maintain normal muscle creatine levels.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to boost your power when working out, you\u2019ll need to boost this amount slightly.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/10731009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this study shows that 5g of creatine<\/a> per day significantly increased muscle mass and arm flexor strength.<\/p>\n<p>It is also useful to know that creatine can actually help to stimulate protein synthesis, the chemical reaction that needs protein to repair and increase your muscle size.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also find that a creatine supplement can help your muscles to recover faster and reduce soreness after exercise simply because it is replenishing your creatine stores faster than your body can by itself.<\/p>\n<p><em>Find out what creatine does to your body, its benefits, side effects, and how you should take it.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\"

9 essential amino acids that your body cannot produce by itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Their individual names are leucine, isoleucine, and valine.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nThey are all an essential part of the protein synthesis process, and, as mentioned, your body cannot make them itself.<\/p>\n<p>Supplementing with these is the easiest way to ensure your body is getting the nutrients it needs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4241904\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Studies show that BCAA can help to reduce muscle fatigue<\/a> during exercise, effectively allowing you to exercise for longer and harder.<\/p>\n<p>This is critical to pushing your muscles just past their limit and encouraging the muscle growth you\u2019re desperately after.<\/p>\n<p>It has also been shown to improve the conversion of compounds into energy within your body.<\/p>\n<p>It can even lower the levels of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, which are both compounds that indicate muscle damage.<\/p>\n<p>By lowering their levels slightly, you can work out harder and for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>You should also see a drop in your body fat as your lean muscle increases.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"28136\" class=\"elementor elementor-28136\"

muscle growth, and it's recommended that you consume between 4.5 and 5g of this compound on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>Beta-alanine is actually another amino acid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Its role is to increase your stores of carnosine.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nThe higher the amount of carnosine in your body, the quicker you\u2019ll feel exhausted when exercising.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why beta-alanine is so important.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It reduces levels of carnosine, allowing you to work out much harder than usual.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nA supplement taken before you exercise will help to boost your endurance as well as your muscle strength.<\/p>\n<p>However, because it is quickly used up, it is generally best on short bursts of exercise, approximately 4 minutes in length.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sipping it between HIIT exercises can be a great way to boost your endurance and lean muscle building.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nIt should be noted that this supplement will provide you with the extra power to squeeze out a few extra reps or sets, which will help you to maximize your strength gains.<\/p>\n<p>There is limited research backing these claims and claims of other potential benefits.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #aa0000;\"><strong>Glutamine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You won\u2019t be surprised to learn that this is another amino acid.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Glutamine plays an important role in several of the body\u2019s functions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These include the immune system, intestinal health, and muscle usage\/gain.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nIn fact, the latest research shows this supplement can help with leaky guts and your metabolism.<\/p>\n<p>It works and is so important because this amino acid is a building block of protein.<\/p>\n<p>Without it, your body cannot create the protein that is so essential for muscle growth, burning fat, and losing weight.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that this amino acid does naturally occur in food.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re not getting enough in what you eat, taking a supplement is the perfect response.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be surprised to know that this compound is approximately 35% of the amino acids in your bloodstream!<\/p>\n<p>There are two types of L-glutamine, and the first is known as free form.<\/p>\n<p>This is difficult for your body to absorb by itself. You should take this supplement with food.<\/p>\n<p>The second option is an L-glutamine but often referred to as Trans-Alanyl-Glutamine (TAG).<\/p>\n<p>The name refers to the fact it is attached to another amino acid.<\/p>\n<p>This one is easy for your body to absorb and can be taken without food. It can even be taken on an empty stomach.<\/p>\n<p>The usual amount of this supplement is between 2-5g a day.<\/p>\n<p>But, if you\u2019re a really serious athlete, you may want to go as high as 10g.<\/p>\n<p>As it is part of the foundation of protein, it is best to take this straight after working out.<\/p>\n<p>It will help your body to recover and ensure you have enough energy to prevent your body from eating its own muscles!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"28137\" class=\"elementor elementor-28137\"

style=\"color: #aa0000;\"><strong>HMB<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>HMB, or to use its long name, Hydrixymethylbutyrate, has been linked to a variety of health benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These include treating heart disease, reducing high cholesterol, lowering high blood pressure, and, of course, for muscle growth.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is actually classed as an active metabolite of leucine which dramatically reduces your body\u2019s ability to breakdown protein in your muscles.<\/p>\n<p>This will help to ensure your existing muscles are not reduced as you build bigger muscles.<\/p>\n<p>By preventing protein breakdown, your body is forced to look for energy elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, it will turn to the energy contained in fat cells and release HMB effectively helping you to burn fat while boosting muscle growth.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that HMB is very effective in preventing muscle breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>But it is not as effective as the BAA leucine at starting protein synthesis, which repairs and builds muscles.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good example of why you need to know your supplements for muscle growth.<\/p>\n<p>You can, of course, take more than one, or you can choose to focus on the one that appears to offer the most benefits for your individual needs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #aa0000;\"><strong>Citrulline Malate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is yet another amino acid, also known as L-citrulline.<\/p>\n<p>It also acts in your body to reduce fatigue, allowing you to exercise harder and for longer.<\/p>\n<p>This is another of the supplements for muscle growth that should be taken before you exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, it should be taken within 30 minutes of your exercise starting, and it doesn't need to be taken with food.<\/p>\n<p>It actually heads to your kidneys, where it is converted to L-arginine.<\/p>\n<p>This compound helps your body to recycle ammonia and nitric oxide, improving the flow of oxygen and nutrients around your body.<\/p>\n<p>This will have a secondary, indirect effect, on your ability to work out.<\/p>\n<p>Having the necessary oxygen and nutrients will help you to keep going, boosting your endurance as well as your muscle growth.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that supplements of L-citrulline malate in excess of 10g per day are likely to induce diarrhea. That\u2019s not a side effect you need or want.<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn about the pros and cons of supplements for building muscle mass.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\" https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w2ape2wpPig?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #aa0000;\"><strong>Muscle Up Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You may have had concerns regarding taking supplements for muscle growth.<\/p>\n<p>But the truth is that you\u2019re not alone, many men want the results but are unsure about the effects of supplements and whether they constitute cheating.<\/p>\n<p>After all, there is something deeply satisfying about building your muscles gradually by yourself.<\/p>\n<p>But, these supplements for muscle growth aren\u2019t cheating.<\/p>\n<p>They are simply helping you to do your best every time you work out whether you\u2019re doing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitfatherproject.com\/old-school-muscle-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Old School Muscle<\/a> plan or running around the block.<\/p>\n<p>The supplements will ensure you push your body harder, encouraging muscle fatigue and muscle repair, which is a natural way of boosting your muscle size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But don\u2019t forget you\u2019re not alone!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are thousands of men who have joined the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitfatherproject.com\/ff30x-letter-video-2\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=best-supplements-muscle-growth&utm_content=&utm_campaign=ff30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fit Father Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>They can all help you to achieve your dream, whatever it is, because they have, or are on their way, to becoming the best man that they can be!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  \n  <div class=\"bottom-box author-box-wrap auth4\">\n    <div class=\"author-info\">\n        \n    <div class=\"author-img\"><div class=\"a-thumb\"><img alt='' src='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3781f709396cfe44111ae4cadbeab36e4340860b6b5f0ba7240e5cd65d014d8d?s=150&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g' srcset='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3781f709396cfe44111ae4cadbeab36e4340860b6b5f0ba7240e5cd65d014d8d?s=300&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-150 photo' height='150' width='150' \/><\/div><\/div>\n        \n    <div class=\"author-details\">\n        <h3>Stuart Carter, <span class=\"ajob\">Dip.
