Many people often wonder how big impact taking supplements can have. In this post I'm not mentioning any steroids, just supplements as creatine, pre-workouts or whey protein. The difference can easily be seen,as taking pre-workout supplement can basically determine on how your workout goes. First of all, you get the energy needed for making additional reps, e.g. 2 or 3 per set, which drastically increases muscle and strength progress. Taking supplements also can change one's attitude to working out and motivate them to train harder. Moving on to whey protein, there comes a question : Can we build muscle without it? Of course, as we can provide protein needed for building muscle from our meals, but when we need additional protein that we simply are not able to provide from normal meals, whey protein comes to our aid. And taking whey protein doesn't just come down to making a shake and drinking it when we want, as we can maximize muscle gains by timing of their consumption. The best time to drink protein shakes or protein bars is short time after our workout(normally to about 30 minutes after), as it helps us rebuild our damaged muscle tissue(as it always is after a workout) and even grow more of it. Coming to a conclusion, gaining muscle and making progress in our workouts can be done without supplements, but they surely help us make progress faster and build more muscle.

Why would anyone build MORE muscle? I get stronger muscles but more just makes you look like a mountain of meat.
