So I used very little supplements tbh, I have odd protein shakes (but this mainly because I like milkshakes and enjoy them) and Take bcaa and glucosamine (3 servings per day).

I also take evening primrose, but that because I find it helps with my time of the month.

For protein I tend to go for taste, as I find they are all quite similar. I use Body Nutrition Trutein (their smores flavour has mini marshmallows in) or USN gf-1.

For bcaas I use nrg as I love their lemonade flavour.

So does anyone have any brand recommendations, or use any other supplements they would recommend giving a go?

I have only just seen this. I am sensitive to lactose, which I why I don't have shakes everyday. But no, no problems with bcaas, really reduces muscle soreness (doms) in the days after working out. I actually enjoy drinking them the neg flavour are delicious.

Are you going to body power? There is usually a lot of deals and free samples floating about. So you can try lots of different ones.

Thanks.

Until I read the thread on here I'd never heard of Body Power Blush. It looks like an interesting event and I'm not too far away from the NEC so will give it some thought, although I'm not sure what the ticket situation is like.

As for the doms, this is pretty sad but I love muscle ache! I only really get it after a break or when I change routine but get a sadistic pleasure from it.

Tickets for body power are available for all three days it's 21days away now if your close go wish I were in closer but shall enjoy my break in a hotel I'm there all three days

Tickets are cheaper in advance, but you can pay on the door. There are different prices depending on what days you want to go, as there different events.

Yeah I do quite like doms th, makes me feel like I have worked hard. But they interfere with my other hobbies. With the bcaas they are at a level I can still do my other hobbies.
