SPALDING

Guys & Ladies looking for advice, started a new job back end of July, working for a paving company picking orders and some of them are not light at all. I'm now finding them easier to lift, but what I want to know is what would you suggest I could have during the day for a bit of a pick me up and also just signed up to the gym so looking for something to take before a workout.

Oh and don't want to use any steroids either to bulk up.

Creatine powder in a shake

Creatine needs to be used every day to have an effect, and it’s effect isn’t that big overall. You may notice it, you may not.

99% of pre-workout stuff is absolute trash, a load of poorly ratioed amino acids (which you’ll find in any decent protein powder or even just milk, meat, etc.) and a shit ton of caffeine. Don’t waste your money on it, just have a coffee and eat properly during the day.

Make sure you get proper sleep. Nothing will beat this in terms of making you feel right.

As for exercises, if you’ve got a heavy manual job, get onto big compound exercises e.g. deadlifts, overhead press, squats/leg presses, pull ups (assisted if you need to). They’ll not only give you better overall strength, but you’ve got good potential for progression as you can increase load substantially over time.

If you need to, you can supplement them with accessory exercises, e.g. bicep curls, tricep extensions, etc. to target specific muscle if your job would benefit it.

Don’t ego lift; start light and get your form right. Do the latter and you won’t need to lift heavy. Great resources on YouTube for this are:

Renaissance Periodisation - Dr. Mike Israetel / Jared Feather

Squat University - can’t recall the guy’s name

The Bioneer - Adam Sinicki

Jeff Nippard

Jeremy Ethier

If you’re after good protein powders, my recommendation is Bulk. They’re one of the few that taste nice and not like absolute shite.

Outside of the gym, I'd suggest getting some form of back brace if wmtdp doing regular, heavy lifting. But I'd also like to think your job would be providing that anyway. Wrecking your back is no fun

All of this being my personal opinion and based on my own education, experience and research (of which I’ve done a lot).

Speaking to a professional and if you have any health issues, your GP too, is recommended before you start training.

Pro plus is great for a pick me up.

I take 4-6 an hour before I run.

Don't take it in the evening as it may cause insomnia.

It's usually in a Tesco buy three for the price of two offer.

"Creatine powder in a shake "

I went to buy some protein powder in Tesco the other day, but because of inflation it now costs whey too much

Eat healthy, get enough protein from food or maybe shake is all I'd say.

As your job involves lifting rather than focus on working out at the gym I would recommend learning to lift weights properly so you don't hurt yourself at work.

Add proper stretching include muscle groups your work lifting doesn't target to balance your body.

Add rest.

Adequate sleep, make sure you are fueled for the gym and hydrated, usually the most limiting factors for performance.

Get enough sleep.

Make sure your eating the right amount.

Take creatine once you’ve passed your newbie gains stage.

Take creatine for 1 month then stop 1 month and carry that cycle on.

Lots of water.

Hope it goes well for you OP

No need to wait or cycle just take 5-10g per day.

Already have hurt myself, pulled muscle or something in or around my right elbow the other week and lost all strength in my right arm.
