Tier 4

EAA’s (essential amino acids) is a supplement to help you receive the proper number of amino acids in order to build strength, muscle size, and endurance. As previously stated it is on the bottom of the list because with proper nutrition you should have enough EAA’s.

Tier 3 continued:

L-Citrulline increases blood arginine levels. L-Citrulline also increases blood flow to your tissues resulting in more effective oxygen delivery.

Tier 3:

Ashwagandha has been proven to reduce the stress hormone cortisol as well as decrease anxiety. It has also shown increase in natural testosterone levels and strength output as a result of higher testosterone.

Tier 2 continued:

I put L-Tyrosine in the mix for athletes who are focused on endurance. Based on my usage I have noticed increased endurance while using L-Tyrosine helping me have a higher output in the gym leading to increases in strength and simply just how much I can run.

Tier 2 continued:

Fish oil has been proven to increase cognition and memory and decrease cardiovascular risk. Recent studies have also addressed that fish oil may have anti depressant properties leading to increased happiness.

Tier 2

Caffeine has been proven to support cognitive function, prolong fatigue, and maximize acute fat oxidation I put this in their 2 because the over use of caffeine can induce poor sleep. If you consume caffeine (which I sometimes do once in a while) I recommend taking it before 12pm.

Tier 1 continued :

Protein Powder is the most common and used supplement. Protein powder makes it easy to consume your daily requirements of protein. Since protein is king protein powder is on the top of this list. Whey protein is the most leucine dense protein powder and is the one I recommend.

Tier 1
Creatine: Creatine has been proven to increase strength and power performance, muscle hydration and muscle size. The international society of sports nutrition deemed it to be the safest most effective ergogenic acid. Creatine in more recent studies has displayed neuro protective benefits.

Why is knowing your BMR helpful?

Knowing your BMR is helpful so you can see how many calories are getting used through each day. Once known it is much easier to see why you may be loosing or gaining weight.

Daily calories above BMR = Weight gain

Daily calories below BMR = Weight Loss

The Harris Benedict Equation does not account for exercise so if you exercise regularly please multiply your BMR calculated by the follow activity factors pictured below.
October 21, 2024 at 8:43 PM
The Harris Benedict Equation:

Men:
BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 x weight in kg) + (4.799 x height in cm) - (5.677 x age in years)

Women:
BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kg) + (3.098 x height in cm) - (4.330 x age in years)
