Looking for good supplement reference

2fingers Posts: 166 Joined: 2005/02/23	2005/03/21, 10:09 PM Have begun taking whey. I am considering other supplements. Is there a good site that lays out the major types and their functions. I am generally thin so cut comes fairly natural. My desire is to bulk or gain mass all over. Currently 5'10" and 165lbs. I don't know what is realistic and am not expecting miracles since it has always been difficult for me to put on weight. The whey "seems" to be having a positive effect. I am sure that I wasn't getting adequate protein in my diet. I have now restarted deadlifts and started squats a bit ago. I am doing fewer reps and more weight on all exercises but am trying not to sacrifice form for weight. Suggestions appreciated regarding workout and supplements. Also, how long will it take to see how much affect the whey is making? I don't want to start several things at once and not be able to tell which supplement is giving the results.

Make sure the calories are from healthy sources,. You want at least 4 sets, the first being a warm up10-12 reps, then doing 3 more sets with less reps and increasing weight. A set might look like this: 10-8-6-6 or 12-8-6-4. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.

I haven't gotten to the point that I'm counting the calories etc. I feel stuffed all the time. Is this natural? I've been trying to eat smaller portions more often and have protein shakes in between.

After a week or so you will find yourself getting hungry every few hours thats your metabolism picking up. -------------- Keith Hardy CFO Serious Nutrition Solutions LLC keith@seriousnutritionsolutions.com www.seriousnutritionsolutions.com
