Re: 💊✨Essential Supplements for Beginners

For me, whey protein made the biggest difference. It’s easy to consume after workouts and helps hit protein goals. A solid multivitamin was also a game-changer—covers all the bases when my diet wasn’t perfect.

I do something similar, but I’m curious about the foam rolling part.
Does it really help that much, or is it just a trendy thing?

I usually skip it because it feels like a waste of time. Thoughts?

It might be your form. Check if your elbows are flaring out too much. That’s a common mistake.

I think people underestimate the importance of ankle mobility for deadlifts. It helps with balance.
