I have never taken supplements in my life, just wondering if they are actually any help.  |

Rejean,
If you just want to get your feet wet with supplements try some whey based protein following your workouts.

Made a very big difference for me.
- Protein supplement
- Creatine
- Glutamine
- Glucosamine Sulfate

Rejean. If you are at or near your competitive weight, I would advise against using Creatine ... as it causes you to retain water. I have used it before and I have gotten stronger while using it but at the cost of getting heavier.
If weight is not a concern for you then I'd say go ahead with it. Strength and size gains came fairly fast while I was using it and I beleive it aids in the revovery process.

you're right about the water weight it causes. Everytime go on Creatine i gain about 8 lbs of water weight in the first few weeks.
Definetly helps with recovery. Read about how creatine works and you will see why.

What does the Glutamine help with?

I say glutomine is over rated. Supposed to help with muscle recovery. Go with BCAA's better bang for your buck
