Dear EK builders,
Many people ask me, pretty frequently, that whether it is necessary to use supplements in order to build muscle. And there is this other group of people, who actually doesn't work out at all, but when they start seeing my pics with a little bit of muscle in them they start saying "hey, hey.. you did that on supplements right??" ( Piti gahala neda anga hada gatte aah??). This crowd actually gets into my nerves
. They just believe that If they use supplements and simply DO NOT workout even, they will grow big! Hello??? Supplements aint a magic portion for growth (Meka soora pappage arishtaya newei!). I just want to clarify this point to all of you EK enthusiastic builders today.
So as I've discussed earlier in a thread we need three major elements in order to build muscle.They are training, nutrition and rest! Supplementation directly links with nutrition in this case. It doesn't matter where does the nutrients come from (most of the time), it provides your body the right nutrients for growth it will grow! So what is the role of supplements then? Well supplements does the same job as food does, it provides necessary nutrients to our bodies. Then why supplements over food? Well there are two answers for this. Mainly it's for convenience! Imagine reaching a daily target of 180-200 grams of protein without using protein shakes? It's an arduous task in the modern environment due to the lack of QUALITY foods around us. This is one reason why we use supplements..the foods we consume today are lack of quality nutrients. Reason number two is to provide the right food timing. The post-work out meal is considered the golden meal of the day for BBs. It should be taken within half an hour once you finish your workout! Using quick absorbing proteins (Whey-protein) is highly recommended at this state since it will promote in maximum muscle growth!
Those (lazy arse) people claim that whey-protein or protein powders to be unnatural! But my question is since when is WHEY unnatural???
If this is the case is milk powder artificial too?? Whey protein has the same concept of milk powder..its the dry state of whey! Whey is natural and humans consumed Whey for thousands of years. In addition, latest researches show that using whey protein is highly recommended since it can fight against many cancers!
My suggestion to all EK builders is that to think rationally with a scientific background before making your conclusions! Don't listen to people who come up with ideas to slack off! Supplementation is GOOD if you use it right..
My suggested supplementation list,
1. Whey Protein
2. Fish Oil
3. Multi Vitamin
4. Creatine
5. L-Glutamine
And remember, They don't do miracles! They are just the part of your nutrition program. The most important aspect is that you need to train like an animal at the gym! Yes, I mean INTENSITY!!

just kidding bro.
unfortunatly i didn't have money for supplements!
so i had to get some weight from food!what the thing is i am a vegetarian!many body builders think they must eat red meat to get musculer!that's false
! a good protein supppement will do it better than meat!
. However, as you have already explained, with the correct choices of food, building up muscle on a vegetarian diet isn't impossible at all. But the trouble lies with getting some vital ingredients for muscle recovery, such as creatine, which can only be found in red meats (unfortunately)!. But hey!! we are now in the 21st century now where we've got abundant numbers of supplements available around us. So I would highly recommend vegetarian BBs to use creatine as a part of their diet! It isn't artificial stuff and it isn't a hormone..so don't worry about using them ( If your not sure..simple...just google it and see! 
. Also I'm trying my best to shoot for 8 hours of proper sleep...
cheers mate !
