Supplements

This is a post taken from the CrossFit message board , by Larry Lindeman

REALITY CHECK:

I usually throw this in the 1% catagory. Fitness obsessed folks have a tendency to obsess on the smallest details (should I take 5g of creatine or 7g) but usually miss the really big picture stuff, like... Are you:

1. Always eating lean protein, vegatables, fruits, and good fats for at least 5 meals per day?
2. Not eating junk or boxed food (you know what junk food is, don't even ask!)?
3. Doing the WOD 3 on 1 off (or a similar plan) consistantly? (Doing the CF warmup)
4. Supplimenting with fish oil?
5. Getting 8 hours of sleep a night?
6. Drinking mostly water for your beverage consumption?
7. Setting realistic goals?
8. Keeping a food and workout journal?

If your not doing all of the above, consistantly, don't even bother with suppliments, organic foods, free range meats, or ANYTHING ELSE!

Get the workouts done, eat well, consistantly, your 99% there...then look for the magic to push you the extra .0001%!
