Set Muscle

I take protein based on my meals rather than whether I trained. Some days I crush my protein target with food, and other days a shake saves me.

Creatine every day, no exceptions. Pre-workout only when I'm lifting. That's probably the easiest way for me to keep things consistent without overcomplicating it.

I used to think I needed supplements only on gym days, but consistency has changed my approach. Now I separate supplements that are part of my daily nutrition routine from the ones that are specifically for workout performance.

I'm definitely in the “keep it simple” camp. Daily basics stay daily, workout-specific stuff stays around workouts, and I don't feel the need to turn every rest day into a supplement marathon.
