What are the supplements for those who are going to start in the gym?
It's no use wanting to buy a bunch of things now. Sellers will try to sell you every type of supplement possible. However, keep in mind that you are a beginner and still do not have a high performance that justifies this investment.
Consultation with nutritionist
The first step for anyone starting out at the gym, whether to grow or lose weight, is to make an appointment with a nutritionist. The professional will put together a menu based on what you like best and your goals.
From calorie calculations, nutri will be able to guide you better. In some cases, no supplement will be necessary at this first stage. But if so, he will definitely ask you to buy some of the following items:
creatine
This is the darling of those who practice physical activity. Creatine has almost no contraindications, and acts to supply energy to the muscles and favors the development of muscle fibers. Thus, you improve your performance in the gym and reduce the risk of injuries. Therefore, it is so suitable for those who are going to start training. The proper amount will be prescribed by your nutritionist.
Pre workout
The pre-workout gives us that energy so that we can practice exercises with less laziness and more strength in the gym. There are several options on the market, and almost all have caffeine as an active ingredient. However, for those who are more sensitive to this substance, a small meal an hour or two before training can do the job. Be sure to discuss this with your nutritionist.
whey protein
Whey Protein is a whey protein concentrate. There are also products on the market with beef protein or blends with vegetable protein. This supplement helps you hit the required amount of protein per day. Because it is practical and easily absorbed by the body, it is widely used.
Adequate food
It is worth remembering that all of this is useless without proper nutrition. To obtain a good result, either in hypertrophy or in weight loss, it is necessary to consume adequate amounts of carbohydrates, protein, fats, fibers, etc.
Therefore, a balanced diet, guided by a nutrition professional, is essential for those who are going to start in the gym.
