For true athletic power: Sprints, Dead Lifts & Squats are crucial
Omega 3 Fatty Acids from pharmaceutical grade fish oils are the most valuable supplement you can take. The subject should take 15g/day for two weeks if deficient, then reduce the dosage to 5g/day indefinitely after that. Fish oils will help burn fat and prevent fat gain. They improve serotonin levels (mood), make it easier to move nutrients in and out of cell walls, reduce joint inflammation, decrease the amount of sugar your body will absorb, improves blood pressure and decrease insulin output when taken with a meal. -Poliquin

“What we’re finding in the research on physical exercise is,
the physical exercise is at least as good as antidepressants for helping
people who are depressed … physical exercise changes the level of serotonin
in your brain. It changes, increases their levels of “feel good” hormones,
the endorphins. And also -- and these are amazing studies -- it can increase
the number of cells in your brain, in the region of the brain, called the
hippocampus,” he continues.
These studies have been first done on animals, and it’s very important
because sometimes in depression, there are fewer of those cells in the
hippocampus, but you can actually change your brain with exercise. So it’s
got to be part of everybody’s treatment, everybody’s plan.” - Dr. Gordon
