ZMA and muscle growth??

Better sleep -> more growth hormone release -> more recovery -> better muscle growth.

Sufficient Zinc -> optimal testosterone production (provided your diet is god) -> better muscle growth.

save your money
eat clean and pound the weights
get enough zinc but no more than 50 a day (leeches copper from system)

and get enough rest
check into mr. x's posts on dieting for formula to calculate propotions of fat protien and carbs

I agree, with obiwan. You can get all the zinc you need from a good diet. Most multi-vitamins have about 15 mg. Anything over 50 mg a day total, and you are putting yourself at risk for negative effects on your body, as well as blocking the absorbsion of other minerals that you need. ZMA is one of the biggest suppliment scams currently on the market.

lifting freak, the most important suppliments are anti-oxidants, EFA's (primarily n-3 fats), and essential amino acids (BCAA's should be at the top of your list). I don't think dextrose is that useful, and creatine is beneficial, but ranks further down the list than BCAA's.
