Fat Burning Supplement Mix

To burn fat but keep your muscles it is a good idea to accompany your diet with some supplements for a little extra boost.

The stack of Glutamine and arginine will help to do this. These amino acids are great ways to help your body burn extra fat than you would with just a normal diet, they are perfectly legal in sport and have no side effects.

How To Take:
Arginine should be taken 30-60mins before breakfast (5g), before and after workouts (5g each) and 5g before you go to sleep.
Glutamine should be taken during breakfast (5-10g), before and after workouts (5g each) and 5g before you go to sleep.

Bicep & Tricep Pyramid Training

This should hit your arms from all angles with the variety of rep ranges and make you really feel the pump. The lower reps will be hard but keep strict form to ensure you make gains. The higher reps will flush your muscles with blood which should have nutrients in it if you've done the correct pre workout nutrition (if not click this link ).

This workout we'll really make your arms grow with the combination of mass gaining rep ranges and the use of flushing.

Lower Body Pyramid Training

This workout will mix your training up by hitting different rep ranges. You will do low reps for strength and power and also medium reps to add size. This keeps your muscles guessing and you growing!

Perform the lower reps with higher weights ofcourse! You should be aiming to reach muscular failure at the final rep.

What Does Creatine Do?

Firstly people need to know that we take creatine monohydrate which is the supplement form. Creatine can be originally found in meat with red meat having the highest amount in comparison to other meats.

Benefits:
Creatine increases your energy to help you work out and push more for longer.
It can also help in recovery of muscles which will prevent DOMS and allow you to train harder and more frequently.

How to take Creatine:
First you need to load up on creatine for the first four days when you start using it. Do this by taking in 30g of creatine a day e.g. 5g with all meals including shakes. Then after these four days down your dosage of creatine monohydrate to 10-15g a day e.g. 5g with pre and post workout shakes.

Creatine can be mixed with water shakes and non acidic fruit juices such as grape juice.
