5 Best Supplements to Get a Ripped Body

May 17, 2022 By Daniel Louwrens

Let’s admit it – being ripped is incredibly appealing. Problem is, it’s a really hard place to get to, and even harder to remain there. That being said, we can certainly make it easier with the correct supplementation!

Supplements should remain that, supplements. They cannot replace a good diet, and you cannot out supplement a bad training plan. We can still get the most out of each one when used correctly!

But where do you even start? Which supplement is the one most people can actually benefit from?

Simply put, protein powder. Protein has been shown to aid in muscle gain, fat loss, and recovery, yet so many people just don’t prioritize it.

And our top pick is Swolverine’s Whey Protein Isolate. Isolate protein powders tend to be easier on the stomach due to their composition. They’ve been filtered extensively, and they’re also Hydrolyzed, meaning they break down faster.

With 26 grams of protein per serving, added enzymes to improve digestion, and only 1g of carbohydrates per serving, you can rest easy knowing this is the ideal protein powder for a fat-loss journey.

Not only is it a banger quantitatively, but the quality of the product is substantial, to say the least. There are 4 great flavors to choose from, and every tub has the scoop right on the top!

Okay, maybe that last part is a bit of a white lie.

With the basics covered, it’s time we delve into the rest. Bodybuilders certainly don’t get to 4% body fat whilst only sipping on protein powder, right?

Using Ascent Pre Workout for More Gains (Review)

February 15, 2021 By Jess Billitz

Ascent Native Fuel Whey Protein Powder Review

February 1, 2021 By Jess Billitz

A trip to the Vitamin Shoppe (or even the fitness aisle of a retail store) is supposed to be exciting. Dozens of options, flavors galore, and almost guaranteed gains on the horizon.

But then … you flip those 4-pound tubs around and scan the labels.

80mg of cholesterol?

Maltodextrin?

190 calories per serving?

Choosing a new whey protein powder winds up being a “lesser of two evils” scenario. If you want the mass, you have to make nutritional sacrifices elsewhere (right?).

Note quite.

From the “Official Sponsor of Hard Work” comes Ascent Native Fuel Whey Protein Powder. Now, does this rare “clean” supplement deliver on its expectations?

Swolverine Beta-Alanine Review (The Case for CarnoSyn)

January 18, 2021 By Jess Billitz

The athletic supplement industry is notoriously misleading. One pill, one scoop, or one gram can help you add 50 pounds to your bench press or pack on 15 pounds of pure muscle mass.

… until you read the fine print.

That’s where you learn the brutal truth — that many workout supplements are nothing more than placebos hoping to “trick” you into tougher workouts.

At first glance, Swolverine Beta-Alanine might sound too good to be true. Better focus, less mid-workout fatigue, and strength gains are all promises you’ve heard before.

Let’s find out if this pure pre-workout supplement is legit.

Swolverine PlantPro5 Review (Pea Protein Powder)

January 5, 2021 By Jess Billitz

Powerlifting belt? Check.

Weightlifting shoes? Check.

Shaker bottle? Check.

A protein powder that doesn’t trigger a digestive nightmare? *crickets*

Whey and casein proteins might be a staple in the standard muscle-building diet.

But they’re also notorious for wreaking havoc on sensitive GI tracts. And if you have food allergies, are vegan, or value all-natural supplements, whey and casein are out of the question.

Enter pea protein, the latest plant-based alternative gaining traction among lifters.

Of the newest — and yes, there are thousands — is Swolverine PlantPro5. So, let’s find out if this all-natural protein powder is worth the hype it receives!

Ask any buff guy at the gym what his secret to mass is.
