There’s a reason why athletes take performance enhancing drugs (PEDs).<\/span><\/p>\n

They work.<\/span><\/p>\n

They help us recover faster, more effectively. And they help athletes not only perform better, but prolong their careers. There are, however, side-effects to PEDs. But (big but), you can get the same benefits through proper nutrition and supplementation.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s what we’re covering in this article:<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Naturally See the Same Benefits of PEDs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Natural Testosterone Elevation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Testosterone (T) is a powerful and important hormone. For us guys, high levels of natural T keeps us healthy, depression-free, and helps prevent certain cancers.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also helps us recover faster, build more muscle, and become better athletes. A part of recovering faster is the fact that it helps us\u00a0heal<\/em> faster as well. That’s one reason why so many athletes are taking T and HGH, not even so much because it helps them get stronger, but because both help prolong their careers.
\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

They help them do what they love, for a longer period of time. Makes sense. But they don’t have to use drugs to increase T levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve already given you the study-latened article I did for Men’s Health, so I’ll spare you the studies and instead give you the protocol’s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon Rising Supplement Protocol<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3,000-5,000 IU vitamin D<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You can get your vitamin D from any grocery store. Each will have their own brands. If possible, grab it in liquid form.<\/span><\/p>\n

1-3 Fish Oil Pills<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The quality of the fish oil supplement you get is very important. Lower quality versions tend to have more mercury, and a lesser quality fish. I use BlueStart Nutraceutical’s Omega Blue.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the best fish oil’s source I’ve found, it’s also delivered by mail, so no need to head to the supplement store.<\/span><\/p>\n

15 mg of Zinc<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Much like D3, grab zinc at any store. Buy the 15 mg version. The 25 mg size pill can be a bit too much for our systems to handle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Bed Supplement Protocol\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3,000-5,000 IU vitamin D<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You can get your vitamin D from any grocery store. Each will have their own brands. If possible, grab it in liquid form.<\/span><\/p>\n

1-3 Fish Oil Pills<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The quality of the fish oil supplement you get is very important. Lower quality versions tend to have more mercury, and a lesser quality fish. I use BlueStart Nutraceutical’s Omega Blue.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the best fish oil’s source I’ve found, it’s also delivered by mail, so no need to head to the supplement store.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a part of your supplementation routine before bed, have two-four whole eggs. Fats are great for raising T levels naturally before bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recovery Protocol’s<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve covered naturally raising T levels. Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty, and talk about the supplements that will help us recover as fast as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre Workout:<\/span>\u00a0Extreme Rush<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Why is this so important?<\/span><\/p>\n

My best results – and yours – always come when training is at its most intense.\u00a0Extreme Rush<\/a>\u00a0helps us not only train with the intensity that we need to be training with, but it starts the recovery process while we’re training through a unique blend of nutrients that are hard to get from natural food sources (we’d have to eat a lot).<\/span><\/p>\n

Post Workout<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Protein<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Protein powder is a given. I’d say it’s a must as well. Not so much because it holds any magic properties, or that it will automatically put muscle on your bones, but because it’s convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protein helps us repair muscle tissue. The most important time to have protein is before and after a workout. After a workout we have a 15 minute window to feed our body carbs and proteins and nutrients to start that recovery process.<\/span><\/p>\n

THIS is when we need protein most. And it ain’t easy to cook and down a chicken breast within 15 minutes after a workout.<\/span><\/p>\n

ISO SMOOTH<\/a><\/strong> is my favorite protein source, because it’s not something that you can find in food.<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a 3-phase release that gives us the ISOlate, right away, then the whey, and finally the casein. So our muscles get the 3 phases of protein.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, find out more about ISO SMOOTH<\/a> and this 3-phase attack by CLICKING HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Carbs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Carbohydrates are very important to combine with your protein powder after a workout because they spike insulin, which ushers the protein to the areas with the most blood flow (the muscles we’ve been working during our workout).<\/span><\/p>\n

For carbs, there are a couple options.<\/span><\/p>\n

#1. Fruit. Mixed frozen berries, added and blended with ISO SMOOTH are a great option. Just make sure you have it within 15 minutes of training.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other option is to have a carbs source that’s actually a supplement. I’ll tell you more about this option in a couple days. For now, fruits and fruit juices are awesome. When you can, use whole, healthy food sources.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Basics<\/span><\/p>\n

These are the basics. The one’s I think every athlete needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take tomorrow off.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following day we’ll look at the bonuses. The supplements that propel and athlete to that other stratosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
