Don't suggest taking many supplements, they can fuck you up badly without control...

Like which you recommend, just whey protein with monohydrate creatine?
I was thinking of using also fatburners because my bodyfat is like 25%

Instead of using fatburners, why not go on a cutting program? Perhaps a 12 week cut and you monitor your macros, drink BCAA so you won't lose much muscle mass and you can still go strong with your fat loss.

Personally, my BF is around the same as yours and I don't really use any supplements at all.. I just eat right and make sure I pump out enough reps at high intensity to make sure that once I step out of the gym, the afterburn effect will take place.

I stack more on protein and healthy fats (I snack on some walnuts from time to time) and try not to focus more on carbohydrates. But when I do, I eat brown rice (I'm from an Asian country, not sure if brown rice is accessible at where you are from).

Necessarily I wouldn't take any PreWorkout, or anything that really is supposed to get you 'pumped' so to speak.

I see too many of my friends get attached to preworkout, or intra workout, or creatine drinks that they will ONLY workout if and ONLY if they have taken a supplement.

Stick with a simple protein shake, and a healthy diet.

Don't take any pre workout, you'll eventually just build up an immunity for it, and it becomes a waste of money.

I'd say Whey protein is your best friend, and only bother with creatine if you really think its gonna help you. Maybe just buy this down the road of the gym, don't buy this before you've set a base for yourself.
Creatine is (kind of) like a little boost to your pump, it helps you get that 1-2 more reps.
Also, Bananas will be your best friend as well, eat one of those bad boys before the gym.

Also all "fatburners" are scams, Get yourself some chocolate flavored fish oil and dump a teaspoon of it into every protein shake you make. (You wont even taste it if you mix it with cookies and cream protein)

Green tea isn't bad either.

Use a pre-workout when you need a boost, look for a fairly price one with some creatine HCl, beta alanine, and caffeine. You will build up a tolerance, but it's unlikely if you're not using it every single day (Do be careful though, next thing you know, you will need pre-workout just to sit on Sythe and focus LOL). Many people advise against 'pres', but they're pretty harmless compared to hormone stacks and other performance enhancing drugs.

Then get a standard whey protein to consume within 30 minutes of your workout. It may take some time to figure out which flavors/brands you like the most. Try not to overpay on those fancy GNC supplements, since it all comes from isolated milk proteins anyways. Make gains, get hoooge.

Also, if you decide not to 'supp', then look into drinks like kombucha and other fermented foods that will naturally give you an energy kick.

Unless you're deadset on using supplements, i'd recommend not using any at all. Eat right and track your macros. You don't need supplements to make progress, given a month of proper dieting and exercise you'll see great results.

Protein powder only if you can't get enough protein through your meals.

 

[FacelessQT]

You're going to need to take about 300mg/week Trenbolone Acetate mate.

 

Depends on your body and what your goals are. If you're skinny you should definitely take some protein or a mass gainer. As long as you're eating enough too.

fatburners are waste of money, losing fat is a lot easier than you think

 

[Aestheticz]

Focusing more on supplements than diet at 25%? lols

 

[carl jackson]

Whey protein maybe bcaa

 

[Arya]

Start from square 1 that's your body, your diet & your workout with no supplements
then ask yourself
am i getting enough of my amino acids in my diet? can i realistically eat enough of *insert foods* to get enough? if not, perhaps an organic BCAA supplement
same with protein
you gotta research the different types of amino acids and proteins before you just start shoveling things into your body 4sure
edit: as well as creatine, this, that and the other

 

I take BCAA's, Creatine and a standard Coffee pre-workout. Don't rely on supplements too much, they are just a slight boost bu real strength/size comes from consistent training and eating well.

 

[Shall Skill]

I take Creatine, Mass gainer, and pre workout. I recommend it all

 

[Giovani]

As the word indicated by itself, they are supplements, dont use them to replace anything. Eat a steak before taking whey protein, eat more instead of using a weight gainer, if you have no time then a shake tends to be useful. Creatine is not useful, just water weight which disappears in like 2 days after leaving it. Go fully natural and depending on your weight, just take whey protein and weight gainer. Again if you can not reach your macros.

 

I don't take any supplements. I plan my eating habits based off the knowledge that I go to the gym 5 days a week.
