Weightlifting supplements while on TRT?

For those of you on TRT and attending a gym, what additional supplements are you taking????

Creatine, BCAA`s, Glutamine.....Etc.....

Just curious if anything besides a TRT protocol is truly necessary.....
 
Creatine, ZMA, Vitamin D, melatonin, BCAAs, pre workouts, I just dropped Ashwghanda. Also not really weightlifting supplements but I take St Johns Wort for mood enhancement / depression (have been since pre-TRT days) and started low dose (5mg) cialis daily a few months ago for BPH (don't think it's helped much).
 
I think it depends on your diet and workout routine. If you have a good diet and a solid workout routine which is actually damaging muscle fibers then supplements may help.
Pre-work out (I like Pre-Kaged)
L-Arginine 1 gram
Creatine HCL
Quality Whey protein with BCAAs
Fresh Spinach in my post work out shake
Multivitamin (Orange Triad, Vitaform, Now Adam)
ZMA
If your diet is crap or your work out routine is half ass then all the above is a waste of $$ except the multivitamin.
 
Thanks guys, I was just curious if any of the “usual “ workout supplements were dropped because of the TRT.

It sounds like it’s business as usual.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
