Post by: Colesy on March 01, 2010, 08:39:16 PM: Wasn't really a helpful post lol sorry.

Never used any kind of supplements and doubt I will. For my level of cricket I have no need. I spose the best place to go when you find a useful supplement would be Holland & Barrett.....

Really bad for you! lol

Post by: Tumo on March 01, 2010, 09:09:04 PM: Bananatrons! Erm... You say re-energising? I'm gonna base it on the same thing as work-outs. Carbs before (and during tea i suppose), and then proteins after. Or, alternatively, some sort of milk-based drink, like chocolate milk. But different things work for different people. Maximuscle do a supplement called viper i think? that seems to work for a lot of people.

Post by: Cakes on March 04, 2010, 09:27:12 PM: maximuscle viper is a good recovery drink but its rather expensive!
Title: Re: What supplements are best for energising you?
Post by: Richie on March 05, 2010, 12:51:35 PM: If you are talking about proteins, then Met-Rx is one of your best bets. Reasonably priced, good quality- not worth the extra for Maximuscle IMO!
Title: Re: What supplements are best for energising you?
Post by: seedy on March 05, 2010, 01:23:36 PM: Another advocate of the viper, use it alot when training and as stated great for energy and recovery, don't drink it if you want to get to sleep in the evenings though!
