C.K. SUPPLEMENTATION

 SUPPLEMENTATION

If you want to be normal, go hit your 3 sets of 8, train for two hours, wash down your tinned tuna with a gallon of milk, and do what you have always done to continue getting the same results. If you want to push your physical and mental boundaries, be prepared to do what others don't so you can create a physique others crave. Supplements won't replace your intense effort and smart nutrition, but they will augment your hard work so you can see increased results.

C.K. Training Program is a challenging and taxing program. A smart, precise and consistent supplement plan will help you fuel up, focus, recover, and grow.* Although supplements are far from a magic powder or pill, they can help you achieve better results.* If you drop my supplement advice, expect to drop some of your gains.

HEALTH

Multivitamin 

Your best source for obtaining micronutrients is through whole foods. Various circumstances may prevent you from eating healthy - that's where a multivitamin may fill in the gaps. A multivitamin is a nutrition supplement that provides a variety of vitamins and/or minerals.

 

Vitamin B complex

B vitamins play a vital role in a number of key bodily functions including; energy production, red blood cell production, brain function and nervous system function. They have been shown to improve memory and focus, increase vascularity and show excellent antioxidant properties

 

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin that has a wide range of functions in the human body, with its primary function being an excellent antioxidant. One of vitamin C's most important functions is acting as an antioxidant, protecting LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage. When LDL is damaged the cholesterol appears to lead to heart disease, but vitamin C acts as an important antioxidant protector of LDL. The antioxidant properties also protect smokers from the harmful effects of free radicals.

 

Omega 3

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid (EFA) that is sourced from fish oil. Fatty acids are the basis of fats & oils, and are necessary for overall health and well being. They are essential to the human body because they are a component of every living cell in the body. EFAs are necessary for rebuilding existing cells and the production of new cells. Essential fatty acids are made up of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) which are both long chain fatty acids that have been shown to provide a number of health benefits.

 

Green tea

Green tea itself is one of the healthiest drinks that you can take, and offers plenty of health benefits thanks to its high concentrations of a number of substances. Rich in a number of vitamins and minerals and an excellent all round addition to any diet, the main active compounds in green tea that make it particularly special are the polyphenol.

 

Digestive enzymes

· Helps the body breakdown protein, carbs and fats.

· Can aid in weight loss as a result of improved digestion.

· May improve health of the digestive system.

 

RECOVERY

Glutamine

Glutamine is a vital amino acid that is required by every muscle in the body, and is one of the most important building blocks in forming the proteins that maintain cellular health and tissue repair. Glutamine is found in varying amounts in most meat and fish as well as, to a small extent, in vegetables and pulses. Anyone involved in high intensity training programmes designed for hypertrophy, may find Glutamine a beneficial supplement.

 

Whey protein

Whey protein is considered a complete protein and contains all 9 essential amino acids and is low in lactose content. Whey protein supplementation along with resistance exercise can help improve muscle protein synthesis and promote the growth of lean tissue mass.

 

BCAA's

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. They are considered to be essential amino acids because humans could not survive unless they were present in their diet. BCAAs are required to maintain lean tissue and studies have shown that they help to preserve your stores of glycogen. BCAAs also prevent tissue breakdown during training. Unlike other amino acids BCAAs are not metabolised in the stomach and are instead metabolised directly in the muscle. This unique quality means that they build lean tissue and stop catabolism. These unique amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) cannot be synthesised by your body so they are essential to your growth.

 

ZMA

ZMA is a combination of zinc and magnesium asparate—plus a bit of vitamin B6. "It's an all-natural product that has been clinically proven to significantly increase muscle strength in trained athletes

 

FAT BURNER

CLA

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring free fatty acid found mainly in foods such as cheese, milk, lamb and beef as well as many processed foods - but only in small amounts! To consume enough CLA you would require a large intake of these types of foods. This of course would be of no use as it would require you to eat alot of calories. CLA is proven by research to build lean tissue, reduce body fat, and help general improved health.

 

PERFORMANCE/ENERGY

Creatine

Creatine  is ideal for a broad range of consumers from bodybuilders through to sprinters, but most importantly those who want to improve their power, strength, speed and lean mass. The subject of hundreds of studies, Creatine has been proven to help improve power, strength and growth. Creatine has also been shown to reduce overall recovery time and recovery between intense bouts of exercise.

 

CarBarley 

CarBarley™ is a carbohydrate sourced from waxy-barley starch and it has a high amylopectin content of 92%. This low GI carbohydrate is ideal for preparation and recovery for a range of sports, including endurance-based events and many team sports. It can fuel your work-out when preparing for an event as well as helping with glycogen resynthesis following an intense bout of exercise. For this reason, many athletes and gym-users may look to use this as a replacement to many simple sugars to help with preparation before an event, recovery, and overall performance.
