Okay guys. So I've been working out on Mon, Wed, and Fridays. And I've just been taking one protein shake per workout (but with two scoops of Whey Protein). I start drinking it towards the end of the workout and finish it up after im done working out. Now I recently ran out of Whey protein and went to the store and was recommended this Muscletech Mass-Tech. After looking at it, it seems like a lot of protien and everything else. Is it healthy? haha. Whether it is or isnt, is there any other brand or protein powder you guys would recommend?
As far as when to take shakes and stuff, recent research has led me to believe this is the best way:
Mass-Tech w/ Milk 10 min before a workout.
Whey Protein shake after workout.
How does this sound? Is this crazyness or a good plan?
Thanks guys.

-Looks like you got the GNC special which is to try and get you to buy muscletech because they make a sales profit off of it (the employees do). All you need is some 100% whey protein, the brand dosnt really matter, dont spend more than 40$ or so on a 5lb container because you are getting ripped off. You should idealy have a preworkout meal, like some oatmeal and a whey shake (1scoop) before workout, like 45 min before. After workout you should have another shake (1-2 scoops) and then have a good whole meal within an hour or so of the shake.
-The pre workout shake is good, but if you eat a good meal with high protein within 1-2hrs of your workout it is not as neccessary. The post-workout shake is a must. Welcome to the DBB, if you have anymore questions let us know.
-Muscletech is overpriced. If your looking for quality ON 100% is great. Also if you live by a sams club they have EAS 100% whey 5lb bags for 30-35$. You will find out very quickly how important it is to find good deals on supplements because it adds up quick later on.

Oh man. Yeah, I knew something was up when he went over to the MuscleTech as soon as we walked into the store. I'll return it tomorrow for the good old Whey. And as far as creatine is concerned, what about that?

I assume your going to be doing your shopping at GNC. In the future I would shop online because it is much cheaper and they will have anything you want. I would start with a cheap creatine Monohydrate and see how that works for you, it is the proven creatine. You can go with straight mono or supplements like Sizo-ON that are creatine mixes with other things in them.
-I would get some good 100% whey, and a cheaper mono and see how it works for you. That way when you buy more expensive supplements in the future you will know if the cheap ones work better or the same as the more expensive.
How much money were you looking to spend? Also do you have a good multivitamin, I would get that first over creatine.

Okay, thanks a lot. I am not currently on a multivitamin. Could you recommend some? By the way, I am 16 years old. My friend who I work out with, was telling me about creatine mono. Should we take that before or after work out?
Thanks again.

take a total of 5-10 grams before or after. Your going to get it at gnc right, the multi? Their mens sport is a pretty good mulit. I like animal pak as well or ON optimen. Those are best bought online because GNC will rape you on the price for the animal pak and optimen. DEF get a multi over creatine, if you have to choose.
