Hugo Rivera Talks About Bodybuilding Supplements (Part 1 of 2)

[teddygrambeatz]

i've always thought hugo was a very knowledgeable guy when it comes to weight lifting. i still use a variation of a workout he wrote in a book i read years ago

[ChimBoMcgee230]

i wanna know if mustletech supplements are complete bull or if they really work?

[MrStregnth]

wow! i never new tht som companys lie about there labels!!! thts insane! does myofusion bull shit there label? and what flavor is your V-60? i might get som

[nick95playa]

hey chad I used to work out and plan on starting back up again I used to take UP YOUR MASS by mhp for weight gain as it was a weight gainer. do you think that this weight gainer is a scam???

[chadthebest1234]

@nick95playa honestly, i wouldn't know, i haven't tried that weight gainer. i haven't really touched anything other than Labrada simply because other company's are not completely honest about what they put on the labels of there products while Labrada on the other hand, whatever is in the product, its on the label. but i have used some really good weight gainers from Labrada Nutrition which perform fantastically.

[sliccflip]

chad, im a begginer..just started going to the gym recently. what supplements would you reccommend for me? protein? would i need a pre/post workout supplements?

[Theangelus111111]

ok u gonna be my next motivation!!

[melkyloco]

Too much stuff. I would exclude a few of them.

[241Snipe]

How old should you be?

[KentuckyRebels]

HR great video.  How can I have abs and obliques like you. I bet nobody messes with you because u r the man.

[yunus1338]

Does glutamine and BCAA during work out help reduce the leve of cortisol? Cause i train like for 2hrs when i go to the gym

[CMLAFLAMME]

Great info. Starts to seem like you push the lean body products towards the end but I like the idea. Keep it simple and train hard. I go with

1 Multi vitamin

2 Creatine

3 Whey protien

4 Fish oil

I believe that there are way to many people out there spending a fortune on a bunch of bullshit suppliments that at the end of the day have little to no result. Save the money you are throwing towards nitro and all that other shit and spend it on making more creative, healthy, protien packed meals.

[realliferocky]

@CMLAFLAMME nitro with your b 12s will have you ready to lift every weight in the gym

[bamonal]

tanta mierda para quedar como hugo no gracias

[AdamsOsiris]

hello hugo or does anyone know when vitamin c is good to take maybe after workout or something

[aznwillrise]

Chad I'm in my teen's and have been working out for sometime now..im wondering if workingout out would stunt my growth.

[chadthebest1234]

@aznwillrise no sir, hugo (my dad) used to let me work out when i was as young as 10 or 11, and now im in my teens and it definitely did not stunt my growth, the key is to not train to heavy, make sure you do the weight perfect for you, as in the amount of weight that you can go ahead and do 10-15 reps with.

hopes this helps!

[HugoRiveraFitness]

@chadthebest1234 Chad, thank you for answering the question. I could not have answered it any better :)

[chadthebest1234]

@HugoRiveraFitness np papi

[Aztexwarrior]

@chadthebest1234 agreed just dont start out heavy till 18

[DSISHOWTiM3X]

PLUS the taste is awesome ahahah love u hugo!

[luckylucka77]

what kind of (recovery) supplement do u recommend hugo cuz i work out and then tend to not work out for a day or two and then when i do work out again i feel like a 60 year old man. and im only 19

[MDubBeezy]

@luckylucka77 Depending on what exactly you are trying to accomplish in the gym (gain lean muscle, lose weight, gain weight, etc) I've heard great things from Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein and BSN's Syntha-6. In addition to a great protein, Creatine will flood your muscles with nutrients essential to muscle recovery/growth. Personally, I use Syntha-6 and Cellmass creatine. Working out 5-6 times a week thanks to that stuff.

[cafeycafe]

Hi Hugo, realmente excelentes videos, solo una pregunta, todos los suplementos que sugieres, should i take everyday or only the days i work out? thanks for your

response.

[weightlifter210]

how do u do a lab test, it would be nice to find what companies are true and what arent. I use inner armor quad protein. It seems to be really good but i have a good diet aswell so i wouldnt know if it was lacking protien unless i tested it.. the New jack3d is great and a real supplement. labrada is great i use some of there supps.

[dallascowboys11179]

Supplements do work as long as you train with them. This guy may not be on roids if he has been lifting for a long time. All roids do for you is give you the results you want alot faster and with hard work as well. So if this guy really has been working out for 19 years like one of the posts says on here by his "son" then yes he could roid free.

[phaedruslive]

@gregjockca1001 err... dont blame lazyness on genetic predisposition and steroid use. im 220 at 5'7 and dudes always make little comments behind my back. if i were on steroids id tell them. point is, they're just haters and their hands will never know what a sandow feels like.

[mrbeepdabeep]

hi, i just now found a powder I was looking for to start body building, but it's expired, will it still work if i start taking it?

[wselby2002]

ur absolutely right. sometimes ppl 4get the old sch. ways of supplementation and training. Hit me up sometime to exchange some knowledge.

[ketogenesis]

i wanna learn from the best, so i went to the best: Hugo Rivera. Body Re-Engineering

[N1k1mon]

I just finished my 2nd volume phase from Rivera's Lean Gainer 8 week plan off Draper's site, except I cut the Volume phase down to 3 weeks & starting the MASS phase I am at least 15% stronger in every exercise I did for Chest & Back than I was when I ended the last cycle.

I knew what I was doing, I had been lifting and training for 7 years but I hadnt stepped into the same realm as these guys before and I am impressed.

3 months with this stuff....I can imagine what just 1 year will do =)

[N1k1mon]

lol..thats exactly what my next comment was going to say, people who knwoanyting about the game, and about steroids know that there are numerous factors that come into play that can actually cause bodybuidler to have more estrogen from aromatization of increased Testosterone. Also, if a man is already walking around with great natural T, roids will barely do ANYTHING, and people like your dad are walking around liek that because of the way they work out and live.

[ItalianWarrior777]

I love your Spanish accent, it's awesome

[xadamryanx]

tiny tshirt

[monstergab]

14 201 lb and im trying to get to 250 by this summer or at least 230 and I will need to no what I can do to reah my goal and btw this is for football

[Wakeboardaddict]

dude same here i need to bulk up for next season except im alot smaller than you haha im at 148 lbs now im hoping to get to atleast 175

[a68rebel]

If you eat right and lift right, you can maybe put on 20 pounds of muscle tops in 6 months.

[monstergab]

@a68rebel thanks for the info

[N1k1mon]

I feel like I am Hugo's PR guy or something but hell...He's wearing a shirt to show his physique because...well, who the hell wants to listen to a guy about gaining muscle if he is not well built.

I seriously doubt he walks around like this all day every day.

And he happens to actually win competitions, so I dont know whats "imaginary" about any of his game....He brings what he's got and wins competitions, who the fuck are you pal?

Put in the WORK and see for yourself, or else, STFU!

[hybridman]

U can STFU, your so called "sport" and I lose that term losely, is reliant on steroids and is virtually based around steroid abuse, increased protein intake, and lightslow muscle pumping exercises. so u can STFU lol.

yea youre right he doesnt walk around like that all day. most of the time hes in glitter speedos raising the roof to Nelly's "its getting hot in here" rap song, thats your modern bodybuilding today hahaha

[N1k1mon]

LMAO...what are you so angry about??? Having trouble staying in shape or what?

Define SPORT for me because in terms of physical demand, bodybuilding is way up on the chart...you do knwo that bodybuilders do on the order of 120-300 minutes of Cardio each week depending on the person, the cycle, and other factors, I run 3 10Ks a week myself. I also warm up with a litte racquetball and I swim..."Bodybuilding" is about getting into great shape. Not many can hang...THEY use steroids 4 that reason

[N1k1mon]

If it takes steroids to get huge, explain how men have been just as strong and even stronger throughout the centuries..eg, paintings, sculptures & depictions describe modern man on average used to be exceedingly stronger and larger than today...So your steroid bullshit is just that bullshit..some use it because they cant hang, some for an edge..but most dont. I and many others know shit about msucle building youve never even heard, you're just ignorant, an amateur if you think they NEED steroids

[hybridman]

N1k1mon

is your comment directed at me? because I agree with what you said so I dont know what your problem is? And also dont assume what I know or dont know about building muscle. I am very well educated on the matter thank you very much. ;)

[N1k1mon]

you lost me....you told me to STFU twice and were saying I was wrong??

I had to assume, if you hold the position that only dudes on roids could get huge like this, that you didnt know a lot about it.

So if thats not your position then its obviously not relevant to you.

Either way, im cool, ive said what I had to say...and if we have differences, well both get by im sure =)

no worries mate

[N1k1mon]

So you're telling us that he spends SOOO much time writing and making Videos (Wait, funny, the two vids on his youtube happen to be all about supps and natural bodybuilding...hmm) about supplements and natural bodybuilding, but YOU are sure he is on Steroids??

Whyt he hell would he waste his time learning and teaching this stuff if hes simply using roids?

I am just finishing one of his 8 week load/growth routines and I gained 11 pounds and DROPPED the small amount of fat on my bell.. WIN!

[GrenMoyo]

Actually this guy really does now what he's talking about. He's written quite extensive articles. He's for real. don't spew out that steroid shit just because your inner child is just jealous and wishes you were well built too man.

[N1k1mon]

bullshit, Ive seen his information pages and amm using one of his routines right now, this guy knows a SHITLOAD on how to get bigger and stronger....I was amazed at how much the little tweaks in his programs make HUGE effects on the muscle growth. He is extremely knowledgable concerning the scientific principles of exactly how to get a muscle to do what you want it to do...

Don't just scream "steroids" when you see a guy who is built well.

[Glaviet1]

whats the song at the begining? :)

[chadthebest1234]

remember the name.

[VOVKARFRC]

wow thats a x-small t shirt for you hugo!

haha you're buff tough!

[43Steelerss]

hey hugo when you're taking vitamin c , is that like in the morning , before the bed , and pre or post workout?? and if i take orange triad , do i need extra vitamin c or just orange triad is ok ?

[Wongene]

Both morning and night is great actually. :)

[alexisbrooke08]

ive got a question... ive been on superpump 250 preworkout for the past year on and off. I am taking a good deal of resting time between each jug. Like i will use a jug for 5 weeks and rest for 5 weeks. its been about a few months since ive had my last preworkout supplement cycle, and I am beginning to see smaller gains from superpump. Would changing to something like white flood or no explode this time help me get better effects , because maybe my body is getting used to superpump.>>???

[heroes4stacks]

Hey Hugo, thanks for a very good and comprehensive video which covers all bases. Cheers Spencer J - UK

[ibanez2010]

Great great video! So nice to see somebody who's actually knowledgeable about supplements giving unbiased advice. I am checking out chromium thanks to this vid.

[MrSupplementSecrets]

Nice video Hugo, great info coming from a guy with a lot of experience when it comes to training and nutrition.

[tirobiz]

That Lean body pre mixed drink tastes very good but they are always clumpy no matter how much you shake them.

[SupremeGforce]

Is his shirt painted on. lol

[88graves]

dude, you look like a rocked out Steve Carell!!!

Thanks for the info!!!!!

[Audioholics]

what are all those bumps on his body?  He looks like he's going to explode :)

[nacido93]

hey I am a young Bodybuilder and I need a personal trainer

[chiky2006]

Where are you from?

[teamjinsoku]

extremely helpful! thanks!

[chantmayer]

he needs to learn how to read cue cards more seamlessly. he is right about everything he has said so far. i dont really care if hes plugging a certain brand (he's probably on the board of it too) if its a good brand. he needs to add that Vit C is more easily absorbed through taking real vit E with it, not the vit e dl -tocoph. form of it (synthetic). he has a focus on powdered stuff when actually juicing raw stuff like broc, caulif., kale, things like this can add far more nutrition to a diet.

[AlphaMaleChallenge]

Come on Guys - don't be haters.

[superman180]

what's the name and the brand of products he is using

[kingjamwi]

I found this helpful. Good information. If you spoke more slowly I could take notes. Nice to see be able to see what physique your advice can produce.

[Audioholics]

dude looks like he's gonna explode. HUGE!!!

[joewhite313]

whats the track at the start

[cohen36]

Fort minor- Remember the name

[Yourmomishre]
