Creatine/Whey
If you want to push the envelope of size and strength, make sure you’re taking a combo cocktail of whey protein powder and creatine. This powerful blend has been studied intensely in recent years, and results are promising.
Case in point: Researchers from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada, tested lean tissue mass, bench press, squat strength (one-rep max), and knee extension power in 36 males during and after six weeks of resistance training. The exercisers were randomly assigned one of three supplement groups: whey protein (about one-half gram per pound of bodyweight daily) only; whey protein plus creatine monohydrate (about 0.45 gram per pound daily); or a placebo.
