hi,

just wondered if anyone could give me any tips on what to take and when to take the appropriate supplements,

been working out for a few months now and have noticed an increase in strength rather than in size, i try to keep a good diet and have a teaspoonful of creatine just before i start weight training and then 1 scoop of met-rx supreme whey with water straight after the workout. im currently 6 ft 1 and 172lbs and would like to see in increase in size,

someone reccomended me CNP pro mass as a weight gainer but wasnt sure when to use it and whether or not to keep using the creatine and met-rx protein, also would it be easy enough to make my own weight gain mix out of various supplements and stuff like oats etc?

i dont really have a clue what to use and when to use it and would appreciate all the help i can,

cheers!

Who told you you need some supplement to gain size? Ask anyone how to get a gut, they will point you to McD's or just tell you to overeat without exercising. To gain weight, all you need is to eat more than you need (a surplus). Obviously eat clean and lift big, otherwise you will end up with a gut. Get an online journal and start logging the clean food you have eaten, otherwise you will add much fat. Also lift heavy and use compounds if your workout does not include them.

Mate, you don't need all these supplements.

Eat big, train big (heavy, low reps) and it'll start happening.

I gained 4 stone in two years natural, so it can be done.

hi,

cheers for the replies, ive been trying to eat as much as i can recently but because of my work i can only eat 3 times a day when youre meant to have at least 6 meals? hence the pro mass supplement but ill try just eating more


'heavy low reps

im currently benching 25kg dumbbells at 3 sets of 10 reps, i do 3 sets of 10 reps with the most i can lift with good form is this about right?

thanks

change the reps and sets mate! go for something like 5reps 5sets if you can lift 25k now doing 10reps you should be able to add abit of weight. which is always good

5 sets of 5 is this with all exercises or only stuff like chest, shoulders etc, im trying to do as many compound exercises as i can rather than isolated
