Fueling your body isn’t just about eating the right foods—it’s about timing, balance, and making sure your nutrition supports your training, not sabotages it. Performance supplements can play a crucial role in overall performance.

In today’s episode of The Outdoor Muscle Show, we’re diving into the best and worst sports performance supplements for your money.

This episode is packed with detailed information on how to use supplements to fuel smarter, train harder, and recover faster. Whether you’re struggling with under-fueling, strength gains, or hitting the dreaded wall mid-race, you’ll walk away from this conversation with the supplements you need to keep your performance on point.

Ross Enlow I Enrich Performance Nutrition Coaching

Today, I’m joined by Ross Enlow, a Performance Nutrition Coach and the owner of Enrich Performance Nutrition Coaching. With a Master’s degree in Nutrition and years of experience working with athletes at every level—high school, college, professional, and recreational—he specializes in helping endurance athletes fuel for performance, recovery, and long-term health.

Ross works with athletes across a wide range of sports, from road and ultra-trail running to triathlons, Olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting. His coaching focuses on optimizing endurance, speed, strength, and body composition while building sustainable nutrition habits that support both performance and longevity.

As a former competitive distance runner, Ross knows first hand the challenges of using supplements for endurance performance. After running cross country in high school and college, he transitioned to long-distance trail running post-grad. But after struggling with lingering injuries and his own relationship with food, he turned to strength training—not just as a way to stay injury-free, but to rebuild his mindset around nutrition and performance.

In our conversation, Ross breaks down the his top performance supplement recommendations as well as a few he says aren’t worth the money. Whether you’re training for your first marathon or trying to dial in your race-day nutrition, this episode will give you the supplement recommendations you need to perform at your best.
