Supplements while on Steroids

Hi all,

I am new to the forum so please excuse me if i am going over old ground.

To date I have not taken any steroids but am giving it serious consideration.

If i was to start on steroids I assume nutrition still remains important to achieve best results, good clean protein, fat and limited carbs.

My question is about nutritional supplements, is it advised to keep on taking Branch Chain Amino Acids / Glutamine and such or to drop these while on cycle?

Hi

You can take all the gear in the world, you wont grow without a propper diet.

You need to eat like a monster on cycle to actually grow. Supplements are secondary, your diet comes first.

Yes you can take that stuff, but they also wont help much if your diet isnt up to scratch

You mean unlimited carbs.

You'd see better results buying more gear instead of supplements imho.

Not necessarily. All the gear in the world won't do Jack if your diet and training isn't 150%.

Rather spend the money on wholesome food. Supps are there to supplement NOT replace. They should never substitute good clean food.

Food is (our should be) the basis of any program.

Yip food is by far the most anabolic substance available to us. Trust me I've tried more gear doesn't mean more gains only more sides! There is sweet spot and more than that is never better because there is only so much your body can use before all your receptors are occupied

All, many thanks for the responses.

If funds are not an issue I would absolutely keep them in there. On cycle the body will make better use of proteins. Leucine, glutamine and alanine which make up most of the muscle will be optimised. Use them around your WO's and nail the diet away from the gym.
