I've been hitting the gym more regularly the past couple months and now I'm looking to add some serious muscle mass. I've got my training and meal plan somewhat sorted, but I keep hearing mixed opinions about which supplements actually work. Some say preworkouts and protein are enough, others are deep into stacks of BCAAs, creatine, fat burners and more. Honestly, I'm confused. What do you really need when you're trying to gain lean mass and not just water weight or fat? Also — how do you know which brands are legit? There’s a ton of stuff online, but I don’t wanna waste money on hype. Any real results from certain products or places you've used?
