Hi Dayo. I've just started too and know not to think about steroids for a long time.
The main thing to do is start with a good diet. Obviously train hard and get good rest.

I've only been going 6 weeks and noticing great differences already.
From what Ive read the only thing supplement you would need is Protein and maybe Creatine, alot of people on here know alot more than me so i'm sure they will be here soon to give some good advice

thanks for that piece of info, iv learnt something already! protein and creatine! im very new to this, so hopefully like you say, they shall be hear with more info soon, info on supplements and what trainin to do is what i need i think :)

Not too sure about Creatine mate, sure someone else will be along soon to cover it up properly haha.

Also have a look at this.  http://www.muscletalk.c...-the-Beginner-m2245.aspx
It helped me loads. The second link on there also is really good showing good ways to work.

thinking of taking steriods already? WTF! dude, seriously avoid them  like the plague for the time been. Looking at your stats i would assume you don't eat that much, so crack on with eating. Get yourself into the diet section to get some tips on what to eat, when to eat etc...
Have a word with one of the PT/gym instructors to show you the ropes even if it means parting with some of you hard earned, it be worth it in the long run if you are serious about your goals.

Welcome to the board buddy,

First get your diet in check as per PumpingIron's post and stay away from steroids for the time being.
You want to be eating small regular meals around 5 times per day, stay away from fast food ect. Get some chicken or turkey breast, rice & veg.

If you are planning on using supplements then grab some protein, vitamins and creatine. This will help you get started, other supplements can be added or removed as required however diet is the most important thing here.

Enjoy the journey and remember not to over train.

^ This.
 
Maybe in a few years time when you've added 50% to your bodyweight in lean mass you could begin to contemplate thinking about investigating the future possiblity of using gear.  For now just worry about your training & diet.

Yeah avoid all the gear at the moment mate until you really ready for that step (something I really wouldn't want to advise)!!!

Supplement wise, as said a good Whey protein, vitamins and (though I've never taken it) and creatine would be a start.
   If your bulking then depending on how easy you find it to eat then a weight gainer may be benefical.

First of all, get a good diet regime, write down a programme you want to follow while working out. . .

 . . . And now train hard!

Yeah the vitamins are not essential if your diet is spot on however all that hard irn work can take alot out of you. I would recommend a good multivitamin like centrum.

Do not neglect carbs for weight gain buddy.

IMO you should read up on the following;

Protein - all different types and effects

Carbs - espec complex carbs, essential for gaining weight

compound exercises - essential
 
on top of all that, just keep reading, and never accept one article/answer as gospel as there are always conflicting answersa to most questions, so you need to read read read, then form your own answer!
 
good luck

i took creatine about 2 yr ago when i started at gym and i will not take them again till ive gain alot of size naturally because even tho i gained some size of test i soon lost that in weeks. so its always best to take them when you already have size.

thats just my opinion anyways

Like already said you got a long way to go before you should be thinking about taking steriods.
Train hard, eat plenty and get plenty of rest and the gains will come.
