 My name is Rafe DeRozzi and in this video I will be going over some great bodybuilding supplements that I take on a daily basis and That would be great gift ideas for any aspiring Bybuilders or people who are just getting to the gym fitness in general. These are all great gift ideas for the holiday season so let's start with the bread and butter of supplements and Bring in whey protein. This is by Jim Jim Stepani's supplement line. You'll notice that most of my supplements are actually By Jim because they are great quality products He uses high-quality ingredients and it's very transparent about the ingredients that he does use a lot of supplement companies Use proprietary blends and things like that so you don't really know what you're getting or in what quantities and Jim is very good about just being transparent overall about all of it So love the product a lot of these products are from Jim brand supplements and that's because my coach For competitive bodybuilding actually recommended a lot of them during my contest prep and I really liked them all So I've kept them Even outside of my prep and I just take them every day now Next up is pre-gym. That is Jim's pre-workout formula I just ran out and I'm getting the shipment today actually from bodybuilding.com But I'll put a picture right here so you can see what it looks like That is the pre-workout that I take every day. It has a lot of caffeine actually so If you're sensitive to caffeine Then I recommend taking not a full scoop of it a lot of times I'll take a half a scoop or three-quarters of a scoop depending on where I'm at that day How I'm feeling because it does have a lot of caffeine in it Also, I do take two products before my workout first one being ZMA by Jim again See that there, which is zinc and magnesium in a pill the reason why this is good to take separately from say a multivitamin is because Some of the ingredients in a multivitamin and zinc and magnesium conflict So kind of capsules each other out and you're not able to absorb the nutrients that you're actually taking So you want to take ZMA on the opposite time of day as your multivitamin So I take ZMA in the morning multivitamin with dinner The next supplement that I take pre-workout with the ZMA is by CTD Sports and it is called Cre alkaline It is their formula of creatine the serving is one to two capsules and it's recommended to take it twice in a day I actually will take two Before my workout and then instead of taking this after my workout. I will take another gym product called post gym and this is post workout formula so this formula has BCA's glutamine create a little creatine, which is why I don't take the second dose of the Cre alkaline because it's already got it in here Also, I like the fact that it has creatine hydrochloride. I've noticed that with creatine monohydrate. I break out all over I I took it consistently once before and my torso was covered in acne as well as my arms Freaks me out. It was weird I normally don't get acne like that at all maybe maybe a couple pimples here and there very sparse But I broke out everywhere so and then I tried out creatine hydrochloride and that has worked consistently well for me since then So that's that's what I like to take in addition to the Cre alkaline It also has beta alanine Elcarnitine el tartre and beta ene so those are that's a great post workout formula that I recommend Now intro workout meaning during my workout. I had a big two liter bottle jug that I Constantly sit from after my sets and in that I'll have my BCAA formula and this one is my evolution nutrition So BCAA 5000 and bodybuilding.com actually has a really good deal on this right now I believe it's by to get one free So I've been buying three at a time and that lasts me for a while because each one has 30 servings So it lasts me about three months The next supplement I'm gonna recommend is a multivitamin because a lot of us don't get all the nutrients and vitamins that we need in a given day So this is like my insurance. It keeps me covered Once again Jim Vita Take two pills once a day of that again. I'll take that during dinner so I have it with some food and The opposed to taking the ZMA in the morning so that they don't conflict or cancel each other out also Twice a day, I'll take Jim Omega. This is a fish oil So we're getting our healthy fat a lot of fish oils don't have a good balance of DHA and EPA in it so a lot of times they seem cheaper better deal, but It's really good to make sure that you're getting the right doses of each and Jim, of course Make sure that that is the case with his products So I take two pills twice a day of that And last but not least as many of you probably already know I am a natural bodybuilder That means I don't take performance enhancing drugs. No steroids. No growth hormone. No Insulin sensitivity boosters or any of that. So with that said there are some products on the market that are good for us Natties Meaning they are testosterone boosting naturally and estrogen blocking Using herbs and whatnot. So Jim has a product called alpha Jim and it's designed to do just that the serving size is Three capsules to be taken twice daily. So I'll take one at lunch and then once again at dinner and that wraps up my The majority of my supplement line at least what I get from bodybuilding.com The reason why I'm talking about all these products is that they are available on bodybuilding.com and they ship super fast I get my products a lot of times next day at no extra cost and when you spend a minimum order I think it's like 49 bucks, then you usually get a choice of a free product. I always get this guy the shaker I have so many of these now I'm always getting these free shakers and I like it because it doesn't have the annoying Noisy little springy metal ball in it. It just has this little grate inside Which does really well to break up any of the powders that I'm trying to mix in here Anyway, these are the products that are super easy quick Efficient really good that I support that I take every day that you can get on bodybuilding.com Great gift ideas for anybody just trying to step up their fitness game stay healthy overall Or if they're into bodybuilding and they want to pack on some muscle.
