What's up Champ! I'm Vince Del Monte
of GeneExpressionTraining.com and
welcome to my kitchen. In this video
we're going to look at the top three
supplements that actually work and that
are safe to help you build muscle faster.
The supplements we're going to look at
today are in the category of situational
supplements. Alright. So these are
specific to specific goals. Alright.
I categorize supplements into two groups:
staple supplements and situational
supplements. So if you ask me what
supplements did you use Vince when you
first got started, by the way that would
be a way better question and what
something to use now, unless you're
currently where I'm at right now, it
would give you a better context to what
I'm about to recommend. When I first
started back in 2002 I was 22 years of
age when I first got introduced to
weight training in a serious manner, I
use three things: fish oils, protein
powder and multivitamin that did all
right.
You can ask my brothers, my parents who I
lived with at the time the supplement
cupboards were very bare. Alright.
My mom actually thought my protein
powder was steroids and she threw it in
the garbage.
True story. So today, 15 years late,r the
supplements I use are in context to a
lot of experimentation over the years.
A lot of evolved research and to just
having different goals alright. So I want
you guys to understand that because
without context you don't have clarity
alright. And I don't want you guys to
think that I'm trying to shove
supplements down your throat. I honestly
could care less. But I will say this. You
need to be open-minded right. You don't
want to be on either extreme because the
truth is almost always somewhere in the
middle right. You don't want to be that
guy that thinks you can get all your
nutrients from food because that's just
not a fact and you don't want to be the
guy that is taking everything blindly
and not even knowing what's actually
working all right. So we have to be
open-minded and I want you guys to
always also know that the supplements
that I share with you guys have to pass
a personal
test of mine. I call it the four-year
test. Alright. So these supplement, the
ingredient has to have passed four years
of time. Alright. Time always prevails.
Right. Supplements that are just BS don't
last that long. Alright. They just they
come and go quickly. Alright. So the
things that I'm about to share with you
have passed my four year test. For me I'm
very comfortable recommending anything
that passes my four year test. There's a
lot of supplements in that cupboard I'm
personally experimenting with. I'm happy
to experiment with stuff alright, but I
haven't shared it with you yet
because I don't have enough data. I share
with my clients some of the more
open-minded guys, or like you I'll give
that a shot but we don't have enough
data yet, feedback yet, to say you know
what guys I love to tell you about this
so I want you guys to make sure you have
context. Does that help? Before we go into
what's in the the cupboard. So let's cover
those three supplements. Again, these are
all situational supplements. The first
one I want to talk to you guys about is
caffeine. Alright. Caffeine is probably the
most, it's a drug by the way,
caffeine is the most powerful drug you
can put in your body when it comes to
performance that would be still legal.
Alright so caffeine, I have found, has to
be dosed properly. I used to only just
take like 150 milligrams you know. 200
milligrams could be like a large coffee
and I never got as much out of my
workouts until I actually discovered the
research that shows more optimal dosages
which is four milligrams per kilogram of
body weight alright. So if I'm 100
kilograms times four that's 400
milligrams of caffeine. A lot of you guys
are saying that's a lot of caffeine Vince.
It is a lot of caffeine but that's
where the research has shown for the
caffeine to really get the most out of
your workouts. Now what I like about
caffeine is that it gives you a level of
focus that you can't replicate any other
way alright. So I preserve my pre-workout,
my caffeine, for my hard training days.
Alright. I sometimes don't take it when I
go train arms or shoulders because it's
like if you need a pre-workout to get
through twelve sets of arms
you've got bigger issues alright. But
when I'm going in to do heavier stuff,
you know when I'm trying to really beat
what I did last week, when I've got more
performance-based workouts, where I'm
really trying to like you know crush
through you know unchartered territory,
that's when the caffeine comes in, alright.
Now you only get 250 milligrams
from this so what I do is I added
something else to it. I add a product
called Java Stin which is two hundred
and twenty-five milligrams of caffeine.
So this gives me quite a bit of caffeine
when I combine it together and why also
take a lot of caffeine is because I
train early in the morning and then I
work all day and this amount of caffeine
gets me through my whole workday too so
I don't take this just for workout
performance, but for business performance,
for workplace performance too. I have way
more focus, way more concentration, way
more productivity, alright. So this is a
killer combination. I also like this
because you get the full dose of
beta-alanine which helps. 3.2 grams which
helps you in train harder and longer.
Alright. Lots of research on beta alanine
and I've noticed the difference all
right. There's also a cool product in
here called peak ATP which is very
similar to citrulline malate. It has a
similar effect as citrulline malate
which helps increase blood flow which
helps bring nutrients into the muscles,
helps with recovery, helps with energy. So
all things like, I want you guys want to
help you understand how should I buy my
supplements. Just simply ask yourself, if
you're not present, if you're not focused
in your workout, are you going to have a
good workout or not? You have to be
focused and you have to be present so
this has a lot of stuff that helps also
promote blood flow to the brain. So again
you're present when you're in the gym,
you're focused on your set, what you're
doing, getting those extra reps, getting
that extra weight ,having a good quality
workout. That's why these are an easy
justification for me. Alright. When we
move over to ummm Creatine, Creatine is
obviously one of the most effective
supplements according to the research.
Alright. There's virtually piles and
piles of evidence to show that creatine
is going to help you perform longer,
harder, you're going to get more reps,
you're going to make your workouts count
alright. So I like taking this type of
Creatine. It's a buffered form which
helps you absorb more of it. I'll put a
research link, a link, sorry, a link to a research
paper below that you can learn more
about the specific creatine in this
product and why I pick it over other
creatine products. Not all creatine
products are created equal.
I'm sure you already know that okay and
a lot of people ask me when should I take
my creatine? Putting creatine in your
body is kind of like putting gas in the
tank. Does it matter when you put gas in
the tank as long as the tank doesn't get
empty? Iit's there if you want to put gas
in the tank in the morning at night in
the afternoon. As long as the tank is
full the tank is full.
Same thing with creatine. There's no
benefits to taking it any particular
time in the day as long as you take it.
That's what matters alright. The last
thing I like is a test booster. I know
test boosters are controversial and also
know someone's going to say in the comments
below, you know test boosters don't work.
Again test boosters are not all created
equal. There's a lot of bad test boosters
on the market. 100 percent I
totally 100% can't disagree with you.
Alright
There's a lot of bad test boosters on
the market. So the stuff in this product
is all backed by research on humans not
animals. Again I'll put a research paper
for you guys in the description below
because I don't want you to spend your
money until you're fully confident and
what's in the product. I won't go
through the whole product. There's two
things I want to point out in particular
and that's zinc and magnesium. So zinc
has been shown to help increase
testosterone levels and people that have
low test levels, so zinc is very powerful.
You get a full dose of zinc and you also
get um you get thirty milligrams of zinc
so if you take it twice a day you're
getting 60 milligrams of zinc which is
really really good. You get 450
milligrams of magnesium and this is
excellent because magnesium has been
shown to reduce stress, reduce cortisol,
and when stress levels are high,
testosterone levels are low. Alright and
magnesium also promotes sleep quality
alright. So here's how you know if this
product is working for you.
If there's anyone watching this video
right now from my family, please stop
watching right now especially. Yeah, just
stop watching right now okay especially if you're a
part of my immediate family alright. So I
have what's called the hard on test.
Alright. So if
you're getting a hard-on six to seven
times a week. You're pitching your sheets.
You're waking up above a teepee,
underneath a teepee every single morning,
you don't need this product. Your test
levels are most likely very very good.
Alright. Again this is a way to kind
of get a gauge on your testosterone
levels without getting blood work.
Obviously that's what's going to tell
you whether you need testosterone
support or not, but that's a really good
gauge. If you're only getting a hard-on
four to five times per week you probably
benefit from this product. If you're not
even getting a hard-on one to three
times per week then you definitely
benefit from some testosterone support
okay.
Minerals like zinc and magnesium will
help you sleep better, and testosterone
is replenished while you sleep.
I don't know if you guys know this, the
testosterone is what makes your penis
hard alright. So if you don't get a hard
penis, you don't have enough testosterone
in your body alright. That's why these
guys, these bodybuilders, who inject tons
of testosterone, yeah I talked to them,
and like like how you doing man with all
that test in your body's like dude I'm
freaking ridiculous man. Oh my god.
Walking hard on man. I got too much. Bit
more than it's good for me. Like my god
right. It's already hard enough to be a
man how the heck do you inject all this
stuff in you, like oh my god, the poor
girl. The guy's eyes are probably
bouncing 24/7. It's ... anyways I'm
going off tangent but testosterone
is what makes us men alright. So it's what
makes your penis hard alright. So if you're
fine like hmm so here's your test. Take
the product. If you're not noticing an
improvement in that one area, it's an
ineffective product. Ask for your money
back which you can actually do with
these uh blue star supplements. So I
think that's it. Those are the three
supplements I wanted to introduce you to
and again if you don't want to go with
this company by all means doesn't matter
to me but I recommend these guys because
they have extremely high quality control
standards. All their stuff is made in the
government regulated facility. I know the
owner personally. I know the lengths he
goes to ensure that everything is above
board.
Alright I've been promoting these guys
for eight years straight and in the
position I'm in I have the luxury to
promote any supplement in the industry
because they'll all offer me a certain
commission. So it's not like
I have to promote them. I get to choose
who I promote so I only promote stuff
that I personally use. It boggles my
mind cuz a lot of people ask me do you
actually use the supplements. A thousand
percent. If you've been following me for
any length of time I've been promoting
these products for over eight years
unlike a lot of guys they just bounce to
the next supplement company to offer
them more money and hey it is what it is.
But I take pride in using the stuff that
I share with you guys. I would not expect
you to spend your own money on stuff
that I don't personally invest in and
that I use and that I share with my top
clients, family members, and myself
alright. So I just wanted to put a word
of what would that be. A word of
reassurance. There you go. That's the word
I was looking for into the back your
mind. All the links to pick this stuff up
are in the description below so you guys
have any follow-up questions to
supplements, let me know in the comment
section below. If you enjoyed this video
be sure to give it a thumbs up and if
you haven't subscribed to the channel
yet, be sure to do that right now and
I'll see you guys next time. Bye bye.
