**“Supplements don’t have to be complicated. Stick to the basics and avoid the fluff. ✅ Whey Protein – Pick a simple, high-quality blend. No need for overpriced BCAAs. ✅ Creatine Monohydrate – The most researched supplement ever. Cheap, effective, 5-10g daily. ✅ Fish Oil – Supports heart health, joints, and inflammation. ✅ Electrolytes (LMNT) – Best ratios of sodium, potassium, and magnesium for hydration and performance. Vitamins? Keep it simple: • Vitamin C & Zinc – Immune support, especially for first responders. • B Complex – Helps with stress and energy. That’s it. No gimmicks, no unnecessary add-ons. Save your money, fuel your body right. 💪”** @Sam Velazquez

What supplements do you recommend for pre or post workout? Creatine? Proteins?
