Broke buying supplements?

My advice is to focus on getting the basics in shape before bothering with the details. You probably train hard already, but if your current diet includes McDonalds and Wendy's, your first priority is to give your basic diet an overhaul. You can never fully compensate bad eating habits with supplements. Secondly, get a good protein powder and have a few protein drinks per day. This does not mean the super-advanced, hyped protein formula that is three times more expensive than the old boring once. Granted, it may be a teeny bit more absorbable or have a few points higher biological value, but let's get real - unless you're a professional bodybuilder who calculates every calorie you eat, the real-life difference you'll see hardly motivates the price. Then add creatine and glutamine as you see fit, but it is not a mandatory requirement to get buffed. If you can't afford it - don't sweat it! If you got the basics in order, you'll do just fine. Likewise, you can't buy supplements to make up for not training hard enough or eating enough good food. Stick with the basics.
