Do I need...

Been going to the gym 3 - 4 times a week, building my cardio and general fitness. Not looking to get any bigger, maybe some cutting (trying to get muscle def). Would supplements help or should I just keep going doing what I'm doing?

hi mate

i would get your diet in check first, supplements dont replace natural whole foods. why dont u post your diet up in the diet and nutrition section on here, im sure u will get loads of advice and tips.
supplements do help, but only once u got a decent diet plan that reflects your goals. otherwise they are a total waste of money IMO

good avice... supplements are there to act as that.. supplementation to a good diet... im not knocking them.. i use them alot... but they are worked into my overall daily diet... get your diet sorted first and if you want to incoroprate supplements into then thats fine!

Great advice although it is tempting to be a supplement junkie once you start training there are only a few that are a good aid to progress.

Creatine
Omega Oils
Protein Powder both whey and casein
Vitamins

After I wouldn't consider anything staple supps that I'd always use.

Spend your money on food

Invest in protein powders and healthy vitamins and oils. Forget the designer creatines and all that garbage.
