Completely all natural

I have not done a show yet, but i do plan on it in the years to come. When you say completely all natural, NOBODY is going to workout and not take supplements. We all have noticed some small gains by taking in more basic nutrients our body's need to recover. Obviously there is a huge difference between amino acid supplementation and steroids, I'm sure most of us realize that. I consider myself ALL NATURAL and I take in all types of Canadian legal supplements. If it's sold LEGALLY on a Canadian shelf (not prescription drugs) it's good to go in my books. I don't rely on supplements for anything except eating another meal because I have no time to cook. When I first took creatine I maybe got 10% stronger and that was about it. No matter how much supplementation I do, I only get 10lbs heavier per year, and I've been working out steady for over 9 years.

So you gained 90lbs over the past 9 years?

Naturalbodybuilder,have you moved to Maple ridge Yet.Thats where I am.I train at fitness unlimited by the Keg.

I just started cutting for my first show and i am down to almost nothing for sups except for MCT oil, no more whey now. Thru the last half of my bulking i dropped the other sups i was using except an iso whey and MCT oil. Trainers said if they dont feel like they are working they probably aren't. For the most part i was just pissing money away on garbage.

I have tried most supps and read most of the research available on medline, the only supps that I chose to use are Protein Powders, Creatine, ECA, Yohimbine and r-ALA.

I also take a multi, vitamin d, fish oil but I don't consider those bodybuilding supplements.

all I've been taking right now has been a coffee before my workout, whey, a multi and omega-3 caps and i look way better than i did taking any other supps.

I used to compete taking nothing at all not even protein actually first show was on 60 grams of protein a day mostly from pasta. I still won. as I added more supplements things got easier and I got better. I remember my first effedrine in my earlyu 20's boy thats changed everything. 400$ a month on supplements. I take way more then that every month of course its all sponsored but if I had to buy it would be way over that so its easy to see spending 400.

Yah sponsorship cuts my bill down quite a bit... hate to think of what I'd have to spend. It's still pretty hefty as I am only sponsored by AI and get some freebees from other companies....
