Beyond a good multi, 1000 mg of Omega3, I would highly recommend:

Copper and zinc supplements are essential for fitness and muscle growth. They are not advertised much because there’s little profit in them. Take them daily in the morning. Cinnamon capsules are great to help regulate insulin; also inexpensive.

I already do a multi-V and Omega3.

Should one take the BCAAs and Glut only on work out days or everyday?

Hopefully I’m understanding this correctly. BCAAs help with muscle recovery? I’ve been using genius-pre, no caffeine and just started my bcaa. The genius bcaa has caffeine, my fault for not reading it, so I take it after my lunchtime nap. I then take the pre before class at 1830hrs and do some lifting after. Does it matter when I take the bcaa? Is there a good tasting bcaa without stimulants that you guys like?

Lay off the booze and avoid food that is processed. Allow eating for only an 8 hour window of the day.

You'll burn more fat lifting weights than doing cardio. Cardio is still necessary for aerobic capacity, maintain blood pressure, removing toxins, and other reasons.

For simple protein after a workout; try a couple of hard boiled eggs. Pre-cook chicken breasts and have those handy for a quick bite.

Make sure you are consuming at least 2 liters of water every day. General guide line is an ounce per pound of body weight daily.

Get up early. People who get up around 5 AM tend to be in better shape; for a reason.

Yeah I have a problem with gorging on the weekends. Whatever I lose during the week is slapped on over the weekend. M-F pretty decent eating during the week. Overnight oats for breakfast a few protein drinks, meal replacement, throughout the day. Workout is muay thai followed by lifting. After the gym is another protein shake and a yogurt. I get home around 2100hrs so no eating. Water intake is pretty good about a gallon a day 4 x 32oz and 4 x 20oz a day. I try to keep up that amount daily, but always a minimum of 3 per. That’s not including my coffee and preworkout drink. Add a 20oz coffee if you want a try total. I always have two thermos’

I would really like something to help the body recover from all the impacts, clinching and cardio. My first week or so in, I had a knot in my thigh for about a week from exchanging kicks.

Don’t hate on my afternoon nap man, they’re the best.

Except when the crazy homeless lady won’t stop screaming. I’d swear she was a drill instructor at one point, how else can you yell for at least an hour non stop.

I haven't taken BCAAs for a minute now, but when I did I would take them different ways. Before the workout to have some in my system as I tore down; after for recovery; before bedtime instead of solid protein.

I like the Optimum Nutrition unflavored for quality.

Yeah, I rarely got up before 8:30 and I was pretty jacked.

Have you had your hormones, red blood cell count, and mineral balances checked? All of those play heavily into getting into shape and recovery.

Higher in-range hematocrit count is like night and day doing cardio.

Look into a men's health center and get a base line on all you blood values that are particular to men.

Can you expound on that a bit? My hematocrit runs high naturally (51.5 last week). I have to get it monitored regularly in case I need to have a blood draw to bring it down.

If you were in the lower 40's and went to 51.5; you'd know the difference. Very noticeable.

51.5 will have banned from the Tour de France unless you can prove that it is your natural level in what the UCI calls a Biological Passport.
