Top 3 supplement recommendations from a personal trainer in Mill Valley, CA

Hey there,

I've noticed that many of you often ask me about the supplements I take. To be honest, I used to be that person rushing to GNC or Vitamin Shop, grabbing all sorts of supplements, thinking they were the secret to my fitness journey. However, as time passed, I simplified my approach and found that the basics work just as well, if not better.

So, what's my go-to supplement now? Muscle Milk from Safeway. It might not be the fanciest choice out there, but it does the job. Why? Well, first off, it tastes good to me. No one wants to choke down something that tastes awful, right?

Here's the lowdown on Muscle Milk: per two scoops, it packs 320 calories, 50 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 18 grams of carbs, with only 3 grams of sugar. Plus, it's got 45 milligrams of cholesterol, 2.2 milligrams of zinc, and 170 milligrams of magnesium. These last two are crucial for your immune system, by the way.

Now, let's talk about supplements in general. My advice? Keep it simple. Don't let flashy marketing or persuasive salespeople overwhelm you. For a protein supplement, aim for at least 25 grams of protein per serving and keep added sugars under 5 grams. Trust me; you don't need all that sugar in your life.

When it comes to other supplements, don't go overboard. I used to pop multivitamins, fish oil, and whatnot. But here's the deal: those pills didn't sit well with my stomach, especially on an empty one during my fasting periods. So, I ditched them and guess what? No decrease in energy, no drop in performance. And my stomach thanked me.

If you're considering extras like pre-workouts, be mindful of the caffeine content. Don't go crazy; anything over 300 milligrams might be too much. As for fish oils and multivitamins, it's up to you. Personally, I'd rank them like this: zinc and magnesium on top for immune support, followed by fish oil if your joints need some love. Lastly, multivitamins or a greens supplement can help cover those micronutrient gaps in your diet.

Remember, supplements are meant to complement your diet, not replace it entirely. So, keep it balanced, listen to your body, and don't break the bank on fancy powders and pills.

3 Pros 3 Cons of drinking coffee daily

Hey there! Today, I want to share my bulking journey with you, just like I did in my recent vlog. So, grab a snack and let's dive in!

In the vlog, we kicked off the day with a morning reminder: "Where focus goes, energy flows, and where energy flows, object grows." It's all about positivity and staying focused on our goals. No room for distractions or self-doubt!

While having breakfast, we discussed the pros and cons of daily coffee consumption. Chat GPT shared some interesting insights.

On the positive side, coffee boosts alertness, offers antioxidant properties, and enhances physical performance. However, too much coffee can lead to issues like insomnia, dependency, and digestive problems.

It's all about balance, right?

Later, I took you along with me to get my favorite breakfast burrito. Packed with protein, it's my go-to when I'm bulking up. We even had a fun conversation about different food preferences – are you Team Borison or not? Let me know in the comments below!

After a hearty breakfast, I hit the gym. Today's goal: lifting heavier weights. Progress is slow but steady, and every rep counts. It's all part of the process.

Dinner was a delicious serving of spaghetti, and I shared how I track my calories to ensure I'm meeting my bulking goals. It's not just about eating a lot; it's about eating right and staying consistent. Counting calories helps me stay on track and ensures I'm fueling my body properly.

As I wrap up this blog post, I want to remind you of the key takeaways from today's journey. Stay focused, be consistent, and believe in yourself. Whether you're bulking up like me or working toward any other goal, consistency is the key to success.

Thanks for joining me today! If you enjoyed this post, don't forget to like and subscribe for more updates on my bulking journey. Until next time, stay positive, stay focused, and keep pushing toward your goals. You got this! 🌟
