      How much?

      What percentage do the use of supplements ACTUALLY contribute to reaching your lifting goals?

      A good pre-workout will get me thinking about killing it but personal motivation is the true driving point.

      10-15%. I take tons of Beef Aminos, Nitro, Glutamine, Creatine and two protein shakes one being post-workout and the other before bed on training days. My body responds very well to high levels of aminos.

      Frank Zane was interviewed in either 2016 or 2017 what the old school guys did. He said, "We mega dosed creatine, glutamine, taurine, EAA's and other common amino acids. We didn't have much of a supplement variety so we had to use the basics in high doses".

      *Take two packs of Pump a day on training days will you give skin splitting pumps!

      I have no idea what it does to my BP but I take some strong stuff that makes me feel weird if I don't get a good lift in. Some days I need that drive as well as some days it makes me feel like I can lift a house and pushes me to throw extra weight on.

      Waste of time, IMO. For me, stuff pre and post is the way to go. Otherwise, my stomach gets irritated while training. Would rather flood my muscles with goodies after they've taken a serious beating! Physiologically, I just don't understand how an intra workout supp would be beneficial for people who lift weights.

      I consider whey/casein/carb powders all as food.
      Then there are health supplements which can be effective but only if you are actually deffiecient in say zinc or some other required vitamin/mineral
      Finally there are the fat burners, plant sterols, celltecs, test boosters ect that make ridiculous claims which sound to good to be true...

      If you´re using the right ingredients and approach, intra workout nutrition is THE game changer.
