Muscle Building Supplements for Women

My Personal Experience

As a Personal Trainer and Competition Prep Coach, I have had the privilege to work with many women of all walks of life and ages. The main concern for most of us is definitely fat loss. However, I have also come across many females who have a hard time putting on muscle. Women are afraid to pick up heavier weights because they think that they will start looking manly. You will be very happy to learn, my dear friends, that this is the biggest misconception of all!

If you are a female and want to tone up, lose fat and build a luscious firm booty, beautiful shoulders and a pair of tight legs, you should pay close attention to the article below. Featuring a leading sports supplement company from the United States that has recently been become available on the Canadian market, I will take you step-by-step and explain exactly why you should seriously consider starting to supplement with a real "big-girl" stack.

What If I'm NOT Competing or an Athlete?
I would like to add that this is for ALL WOMEN, not just for athletes who are training for a competition. This is for all of you girls who are working real-people jobs, have a busy schedule and have a burning desire to look fit & sexy when you go away this winter!

DOMINION & AMINOAMMO
The Dominion is a pre-workout product that is amazing for building lean muscle and the AminoAmmo is by far one of my FAVOURITE BCAA intra-workout products. They have been scientifically created by a leading sports supplement company from the United States:  Better Body Sports. 

Both of these products combined are phenomenal for women who are looking to increase their gains:

Increased Recovery: Perhaps the greatest benefit to hard training athletes is the increase in metabolic recovery that follows supplementation. Most athletes feel quite a big decrease in the amount of post exercise muscle soreness soon after starting to take BCAAs. This means faster recovery from exercise induced protein damage (remember your muscles grow when you damage them), which in turn means faster size and strength gains. With increased recovery the harder and more frequently you can hit the iron and thus the sooner you can meet your goals. No brainer!!!

Endurance: This means that they may enable you to train at higher intensities for longer periods of time. Supplementing with BCAAs may enable you to maintain your training intensity and endurance as energy normally provided by your diet decreases. Anyone who has ever been on a very low-carb or low-calorie diet for extended periods can definitely appreciate this! This will SAVE you as the weeks go by, and your diet and training changes…intensity increases, and your body starts sculpting beautifully.

Protein Synthesis: BCAAs by themselves have been shown to independently stimulate muscle protein synthesis. In other words, they have shown the ability to induce muscle gains, even in the absence of weight training! Studies have shown that BCAA supplementation increases the hormones: testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin.

Stimulation of Fat Loss: Supplementation of BCAAs has been shown to trigger significant and preferential losses of visceral body fat. Located in the deeper layers of the body under the subcutaneous fat, this visceral fat tends to be resistant to dieting and is hard to lose. So the body stops muscle breakdown and uses more fat for fuel. At the same time the extra BCAAs in the blood stimulate insulin so the BCAAs are driven directly to the muscle. So the result is people lose body fat and gain muscle at the same time. A BIG “WHOOP WHOOP” for that one!!

Boosting Immune Function: When you train at high intensity or high volume you risk immune suppression and infections. By supplementing with BCAAs you'll help reverse glutamine loss, which is essential for immune function. In addition to this, the BCAAs help prevent a catabolic state in the body, which in turn can help improve recovery and lessen the damaging effects your exercise sessions may have on the body.

Anti-Catabolic Effects: BCAAs probably exert most of their anabolic effects through anti-catabolic activity. In short, they suppress the use of muscle proteins for fuel, thereby sparing the breakdown of muscular protein.

HOW DO I TAKE ALL THIS STUFF?

Dominion

1 scoop x 1 daily

while you're getting ready for gym

Pre-Workout Cocktail: 1 scoop Dominion  + water (15 mins pre-workout)

AminoAmmo

1 scoop x 1 daily

during your workout

Intra-Workout: 1 scoop of AminoAmmo in your 1L of water, sip on this during your workout

Recovery Glutamine plays key roles in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and anti-catabolism. Glutamine also increases your ability to secrete Human Growth Hormone, which helps metabolize body fat and support new muscle growth. Glutamine's anti-catabolism ability prevents the breakdown of your muscles.  

Glutamine

5g x 2 daily

Post-workout and bedtime

ADD to: your post-workout protein shake with water + piece of fruit

BEDTIME: one serving with water before sleepy time

Hydration Water plays a vital role in all bodily processes by providing a universal medium for chemical reactions, lubrication, nutrient delivery, waste disposal, heat dispersion and temperature regulation. To keep your body alkaline and to help you get all that water down, you will be squeezing 1 whole lemon into your water. Flavouring with oranges, lemons, limes is always a great way to make things more enjoyable and to alkalize your body!

Filtered Water

3-4L daily

1 whole lemon squeeze in water

In conclusion, I would like to add that I have used these products in all 3 of my competition preps! Paired with the appropriate training and diet, these products create results that are FAR from manly, in my humble opinion. Thank you BBS for creating leading-edge products for us females to use!
