Mass Building Supplements?????

[kickflip484]

Right now i'm off because i had a hernia fixed, but once i get the okay from my doctor to go back to the gym, ima hit it light at first and then full bore. I want to get some supplements that will help me build mass. I know i need to eat 4500 calories a day, cuz i'm a hardgainer, but what are some good supplements. I know i need whey protein, creatine, but what about the others like glutamin, or casein??? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

First remember that it is the quality of the calorie not the quanity that build muscle. To many would be bodybuilders equate fat pounds to muscle pounds. I often see fat slobs bragging about how much weight they recently put on during a cycle, lol 90% of it in some cases is fat. Whey and creatine are both good supps, but nothing can replace good quality food in adding pounds of muscle.

Since your calories aren't posted with each meal it's hard to say, but are you sure that's 4500 cals?

Also you might want to consider a pre-workout meal that consists of something more than soda pop. I also noticed that not every meal had a source of complete protein. Also you may want to avoid the peanut butter post workout. go for a protein/carb meal in a 1:2 -1:4 protein to carb ratio.

Give Pinnacle's esterfied creatine a shot - trust me, it's the best thing to date so far that I have had results with.

*bump* - I'm testing out ALRI's new "Primed" product, which is supposed to be much better than MAT-Rx's Amped ECN. It's a killer combo with the Esterfied Creatine.

Lots of protein, (protein shakes and in your foods: eggs, tuna, steak, chicken, cottage cheese, etc.), a creatine/NO supplement, glutamine is good, andBCAA's {e.g., L-Arginine (sp?)}
