Black Friday Picks: Must-Haves for Fitness Fanatics

Black Friday is just around the corner, and for those passionate about health and fitness, it's the perfect time to grab some amazing deals at Bodybuilding Warehouse. Whether your goal is to build muscle, drop body fat, improve athletic performance or just live a healthy lifestyle, BW has you covered. 

Creatine

Starting off with the most popular supplement on the market, Creatine should be a staple in most supplement stacks. Creatine is not only the most popular supplement on the market, it is also the most researched. Research shows that is has proven benefits when it comes to improving power out, building muscle, boosting cognitive function and increasing energy levels. 

How to take Creatine

For most people taking 5 grams daily will have you see all the results however depending on your weight you may need slightly less or slightly more. It is believed that taking Creatine pre-workout can have marginal benefits however, your daily intake is the most important factor. 

Creatine Myth

Since Creatine is such a popular supplement, it comes with some myths. The most popular one is that Creatine makes you bloated. Although Creatine does increase your water retention, this water is transported to your muscle cells and if you drink enough water you will not experience bloating.

Whey Protein

Whey Protein is another popular supplement due to the benefits that it provides. You have probably heard about how important protein is when it comes to building muscle, recovering, shredding fat and just living a healthy lifestyle. Whey Protein makes hitting them daily protein targets easier than ever.

What is Whey Protein

Whey Protein is a food supplement that is derived from Milk. If you open a yoghurt and see the liquid that sits on top, this is Whey. Whey is separated and mixed with other ingredients and flavours to create a bag or tub of Whey Protein. 

Amino Acids

Amino Acids are the 'building blocks' of muscle. Through our diet, we don't get all the essential amino acids therefore supplementing with a BCAA or EAA can help enhance recovery and spike muscle protein synthesis.

Protein Bars / Snacks

Protein bars and snacks are always nice to have around for them busier days. When you're on the go, protein targets can be difficult to hit. Protein bars can give you that quick boost without any prep needed. Not only are they convenient, they feel like a guilt free treat.
