Three Very Basic and Very Crucial Supplements

I'll admit it. The debut of the reality show The Ultimate Fighter kind of rekindled a fire beneath me that I hadn't experienced in years, probably talking like pre-adulthood. I started eating way cleaner and really pushing the limits of my body, physically and mentally. Because of the marketing on the show, I was convinced to try the latest and greatest supplements out there. I didn't do any research and didn't see too many results.

The purpose of this article is to list and describe three very beneficial supplements that almost every human should be taking if possible. I have always been in pretty good shape. About to hit the big 40 now, I still train Brazilian jiu-jitsu after a lifetime of wrestling. I have grappling days, and cardiovascular ones, strength days too. Aside from the supplements I'll be listing here, I don't ingest too many more.

For a little anecdote, I grew up kind of nestled in the woods in western Washington so while we didn't have too much television, we did have plenty of trees to climb and trails to hike. I have always been a smaller guy and when I was around 12 years old, I was tiny. My Dad got me started lifting weights and keeping records. This time period is around when I started using my first supplement, a horse bulking steroid out of Europe.

I kid, I kid. It was Joe Weider's Weight Gainer or something, vanilla flavored, chalk-like texture, chewable pills. A daily serving was some insane amount, around 28 pills. I loved them though, I didn't see any results, but I loved them. In fact, I attribute my vanilla flavored supplement fetish to these damned chewable pills. I took that weight gainer formula for a couple of years and talk about bulking up!
