Supplements for Lifters: Creatine, Caffeine, and the ‘Small Stack’ Philosophy
For lifters, a small supplement list is easier to evaluate than a changing stack. Start with the training program, ordinary meals and sleep.
A practical starting point
Use the training log to identify whether the constraint is progression, inconsistent food or insufficient recovery. If a supplement is considered, define one outcome and leave the rest of the routine stable.
What the evidence does not promise
Creatine, caffeine and protein products serve different purposes and are not all necessary. Health history, tolerance and product quality determine whether any of them is appropriate.
How to make it useful for your training
Bring a short record of your sessions, food routine and the specific problem you want to solve. Anthony can help organise the training plan and general habits; a sports dietitian or clinician should manage individual supplement protocols and medical concerns.
