Hey all

[Robocop]

Well its been about 10 months since I signed up for this site and I have been staying very active between hockey, work, snowboarding, etc. I've always considered myself to be in fairly good shape especially back in high school when I was playing competitive hockey and attending the gym religously.

Anyway 9 years out of high school and I've been hitting the gym for about a month now (New Years res)

And I'm ready to take it to the next level.

I'm looking for suggestions on some supplements.

Lucky me I'm dating a high school gym teacher so the nutrition and diet stuff is easy.

My plan is working out 4 times a week at the gym (on top of boarding once a week, hockey once a week and coaching hockey 1 practice a week)

I'm already eating 6 times a day. 5am 830am, noon, 3pm 6pm and 9pm snack.

I'm looking to gain lean mass and I feel that the meal plans are the backbone to do so and I'm definetly seeing progress.

I'm looking for what basics in supplements I should be looking into and the best deals out there right now (located in Newmarket and I think the only places around are popeyes, or in the mall)

Back in school I used to use whey protein shakes and creatine on 6-8 week programs and was happy with the results.

I'm looking for suggestions and a step in the right direction.

-Protein (where, how much)
-Creatine Mono (where how much)
-Multi-vitamins
-Other supplements that would aid with my program.

I'm looking to get a 1-2 month supply of the above items to start off.

Thanks

Robo

Protein 1.5 grams per pound of body weight is what I would suggest. Make sure you take a good protein shake after your workout.
I take about 10 grams of creatine per day. I find that amount works best for me.
For multi vitamins...animal pak...nothing else comes close.
Maybe a pre workout can give you better workouts. 1mr, superpump etc. Not absolutely needed.

[Robocop]

Thanks Feenom.

Those are about the numbers I'm going for. Animal Pak is a little pricey but I do realize you get what you pay for.

Any suggestions on what type of protein and creatine supplements? I'm on TrueSupplements.com and think I have my 3 basics picked out.

Creatine Monohydrate by the pound (1 lb.) (http://truesupplements.com/product_info.php?products_id=91)

Should work fine.

scrap the glutamine IMO fairly useless, one of the most abundant amino you get from meat and whey sources.
truesupps does have great protein and it tastes good too
animal pack is a collection everything it is like total supplementation, if your just looking for multivitamin go to your bulk barn and grab a once daily vitamin that has a profile you agree with, remember its a supplement, meant to supplement the diet not replace every ****ing vitamin you should be getting from foods
i would definatey grab some OMEGA 3 pills from truesupps though 1000 pills for $40 dollars - try finding anything close down at popeyes

[Robocop]

How often do ya take the OMEGA 3 pills? Just out of curiousity. Didnt see it on the site.

Thanks Jack,

So far my cart consists of

2 x 5lb Whey Blends
2 x 1lb Creatine Monohydrate
1 x 1000 Omega 3 softgels

I'm also looking for a Pre-workout supplement if people recommend them as beneficiary. Superpump250 was what I was thinking. Thoughts?

I'd like to place the order tonight so the supplies will be waiting for me when I return from work in Montreal.

I thought superpump tasted great and gave pretty good energy....but it gave me the shits, so I never finished it, also had the same experience with dymatize expand. Have heard 1 M.R. gives you crazy energy, but haven't tried it

[Robocop]

sorry for being a newb but M.R?

This is what I was gonna order (added the two cups cuz u can never have too many and I wanted to get the free shipping even though he sometimes sends cups). All and all I got about 2 months worth of supplies give or take which should get me started.

Hi Robocop. I changed your settings to remove the WYSIWYG option. It doesn't work that well and creates a lot of broken links. It's better to copy/paste the link of the page you want to refer to.

[Robocop]

Thanks Musul, I went through and cleaned it up a bit

i really dont like pre workout supplements, most of these things are pumped up with caffeine to make you feel hot an wiry or some insane claim about arginine,if you want a preworkout kick to get you going just buy straight caffeine

[Robocop]

Thanks for the help so far jack

[BMac]

I'll second what jack said, now I just have a bottle of caffeine pills I got from true supplements, I take about 200mg about 30mins before I start lifting, and I don't have to be running to the bathroom anymore! haha

My order came in this morning. Thats a big bag of pills. I'm sure when the gf gets home she is gonna be like, WTF is in that unmarked bag and that black jug (creatine).

Lol
