As this is a 12 week program and Rick and Kev would like to be able to monitor every participant equally, they must reduce any variables on why the program works better one person and not the other.
So they have provided a list of approved supplements.
Essential All Round Supplements:
- Fish Oils (http://www.onacademy.co.uk/fish-oil-enteric-coated-fish-oil-softgels)
- Multi Vitamin's (http://www.onacademy.co.uk/opti-men)
Protein Isolates - Weeks 1 - 12:
Protein is essential for every week in this program. It is essential that you use a high grade isolate,
They only recommend one from the list below. Under no circumstances must you use a cheap protein full of
fillers. Prime example of this is Holland and Barratt’s own brand.
- Dymatize Elite Whey Protein Isolate (http://monstersupplements.com/store/p/94/1/#.UYOue6LktyI)
- PhD Pharma Pure Whey Protein Isolate (http://www.phd-supplements.com/store/p/98/1/)
- Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey Isolate
(http://www.onacademy.co.uk/platinum-hydrowhey)
BCAA's - Week 1 - 12
BCAA’s, like protein are needed throughout the entire program. They only recommend Optimum Nutrition
BCAA-5000 as it is the highest grade, contains everything you need and mixes incredibly well.
- Optimum Nutrition BCAA-5000 Powder
(http://www.onacademy.co.uk/bcaa-5000-powder-2)
Pre Workout - Weeks 1-12
V-Max Pump is again needed in every week of the program. If you use the Buy One Get One Free
offer off the Protein Discount Card then two tubs will last the entire plan. It is a great supplement,
one of the only pre-workout’s to contain protein.
Carbohydrates - Weeks 1-12
Waxy-Vol is a maize based carbohydrate drink. It has zero grams of sugar, is low-gi and is perfect
for fuelling glycogen stores and workouts.
- PhD Waxy-Vol

Fat Burners - Weeks 9-12
Lean Degree Caps are a thermogenic fat burner. They are designed to raise core temperatures
marginally to increase fat burning efficiency. A great product for stripping or maintaining low body fat.
