When i was working out 4 days a week I would mix protein with L-Glutamine in some yogurt. I'd also take a multivitamin every other day or so along with lots of fruit high in anti-oxidants like blueberries.

[Chewy]

after the gym , i mix protien powder, yogurt, fruit and milk. It makes for a real tasty shake and it fills you right up . multi vits are good, But better if you can get it out of the proper foods. Eat a nice hearty breakfast to start your day right and well balanced meals throughout.

What are you trying to accomplish? Gain weight, muscle, size, or lean up?
What sort of training program are you going to use these supplements with? Don't bother wasting your money on gym powder until you have a steady routine in place (2-3 weeks).

looking to gain, then cut in the summer. you know how it goes. My work has gotten me into pretty good shape, but it has taken me as far as I can go, so I'm over the intial hump of being out of shape (I got some pecks bitches!). I'm pretty addicted to lifting as much heavy shit at work as I can, since I only go for natual highs now.

I'm going to start off doing universal stuff, and get a couple of personal sessions with a trainer to get a proper warm up/stretch/cool down/strech routine going. Then a couple more sessions with a trainer to get the proper technique when I get to the free weights after a month or two on the universal.

This time I'm joining the gym not to get off booze or drugs, but to get ripped! Should go well....

whey protien. ON brand. although it really doesnt matter whey is whey.

use it to make sure your getting 2grams of protien per pound of bodyweight.

other then that make sure you diet is perfect, you dont need anything else, cept a good multi.

mmhmm, i agree that it's all about diet and exercise and sticking to it!

while the thread is posted, i have a friend who is looking to gain weight through diet/exercise. I know dosing up on protein and eating several small meals a day w/ lots of complex carbs can do the trick. Does anyone have any other good tips?

[fritz]

eat a lot

myra and inside-
heavier weight, lower reps (5 to 8), explosive sets with short rests between (under a min). Go balls out on core exercises like squats, deadlifts and bench press and keep your secondary exercises (dumb bells) controlled and slow. Machines suck, they don't work stabalizer muscles as effectively, dumb bells are better, and cables are godly. Neverstop doing cardio or fat buttery balls will take affect. Try switching out running or any eliptical machines with 20-50-70-100 meter wind sprints or hit up a stair master with steep inclines/intensity, or something like the grouse grind with a 30-40pound pack.

The biggest thing though, is working hard while you're at the gym. If you're not sweating, you're cheating, and if you're cheating you're only getting fat.

pre and post work out stretches are key too, a nice 10minute jog to limber up and get the blood flow going and a thorough stretch after (sauna anyone?) are crucial

listen to max, he's right on point.

REALLY evaluate your diet, some people think they're eating great til they start logging every thing down.

Anyone ever tried anavar or anadrol?

[project.one]

You need to go into a store and talk to someone in person.
They need to assess your body weight and other things, along with what it is you are trying to accomplish, and how you are able to go about getting it done.
There are a million and one suggestions people can make, but if you want to really get it done you need to get the right one for you based on everything else.

no hes not.

biggest thing is your diet.
at ur level of fitness, its really not gona matter how you workout HIT high reps low reps small rests periods big, unless you ve been working out for years you have no idea what kind of program will work best for you what kind of genetics you have ect ect.

dont waste ur time worrying about that shit make sure your diet is spot on and you could literally do 20push ups and 20 crunchs a night and in 10 weeks look totally different just from eating properly.

specially if your a nub to working out.

making sure your nitrogen balance is in the postive is the most important thing for gaining muscle. you do that by eating enough protien everyday. if you keep your calories just above maintence levels you can build solid LBM without getting all fat from eating to many calories.

It's not worth arguing about, but I disagree.

its because its not even an argument.

go on bodybuilding.com or any other fitness site.

ask any pro.ami.

call any personal trainer

ask any dietitian

they will all tell you the same thing diet>sleep>working out for changing body composistion.

80%diet 15%sleep 5%working out

going to the gym for an hour-2 a day is easy mode.

eating right all day every day is not.

your diet is the #1 thing hands down that determins the kind of build your walking aroud with.

[mojo]

good info, thanks hardstylin.

This should be common knowledge for anyone looking to get in shape.

You can disagree with it but you will never achieve maximum results.

I was a naturally skinny person... 5' 10" and 150 lbs. I worked out all the time and messed around with the whole supplement game. Although I did shred myself completely and gained a little mass I never achieved my desired results. As soon as I talked to some professionals and did my homework that's when things took off. I'm now sitting at 225lbs and still shredded.
Point is don't mess around with the supplements. Talk to some pros, get yourself some good protein (I used Optimum Nutrition which I think hardstylin mentioned before as well) and do it the right way. You'll thank yourself later.

[CodaDrummer]

I should mention that I did mess around with prohormones awhile before I got serious, and anything as far as mass I gained from those was long gone when I did it the proper way.
