To put on muscle should I take a preworkout (black powder) and a cheap creatine mono or just sizeon?

Looking for something very effective and easy on the wallet..will be purchasing supplements at gncTo put on muscle should I take a preworkout (black powder) and a cheap creatine mono or just sizeon?
Really depends on what you want.





A preworkout supplement (like Black Powder or Superpump 250) is a mix of stimulants (caffeine/taurine), some creatine and arginine (precusor to nitic oxide, dilates peripheral blood vessels). The general idea is to allow you to work harder and be more focused during your workout. The harder you work, the more you develop. Not good for someone who has a problem with stimulants or a generally weak stomach.





Creatine, in theory, gives you a little extra energy during your workouts. It's cheap (try the weber naturals), just about all brands are the same and is fairly well regarded. That being said, it makes some people nauseous and some people (especially those who eat a lot of red meat) find it doesn't do anything. By far the most easy on the wallet. Costs less per tub, and you take much less daily.





SizeOn is a recovery drink, designed mostly to replace all the little things you burn up while working out, plus a few extras to supposedly enhance repair and growth. Again, contains creatine among other things. Similar cons to a preworkout mix, but since you arn't working out after taking it less people find it to cause discomfort.





None of these will have a huge effect on muscle growth, assuming you have a good diet, but they can help a little. Creatine is a good start and one of the main components of both of the others. My personal favourite is the preworkout mix. I tend to do longer full body workouts, rather than short split routines. You get about 30-40 servings for a pre/post mix tub, at about 50-80 bucks a tub.To put on muscle should I take a preworkout (black powder) and a cheap creatine mono or just sizeon?
Nothing. It is easy on the wallet and is the only thing you need.





Putting on muscle only requires working out, supplements do nothing. Save your money or spend it on food like milk, eggs, veggies, meat instead of supplements.
three words. Eggs, Eggs, Eggs.





Drink orange juice after workout.
