Help & FAQs
Step 1
Protein — the foundation
Protein supports muscle repair and growth. Start with whey isolate or whey protein after training; use casein before bed, or grab a protein bar when you are out.
- Whey isolate — cleaner macros for lean goals
- Casein — slower release, good before bed
- Protein bars — convenient between meals
Step 2
Creatine — proven and effective
One of the most researched supplements for strength and power. Creatine monohydrate is the gold standard — simple and effective. Stack it with protein and, if you struggle to eat enough, a mass gainer.
- Supports strength and high-intensity performance
- Well-studied with a strong safety profile
- Affordable and easy to use daily
Step 3
Pre-workout — when you need an edge
Pre-workout formulas can boost energy and focus before training. Start with a half serving to assess tolerance. Prefer convenience? Try an energy shot, and keep electrolytes on hand for longer sessions.
- Caffeine-based options for energy and alertness
- Stim-free alternatives available
- Not essential — add when basics are covered
