An ease into supplements

I am just starting to get into strength training and have always been weary of taking a bunch of supplements.  I would like some advice on what I am taking now.  I do the No-xplode pre workout like 30 minutes before.  I lift for 45 min to 1 hour then drink one scoop of Cell-Mass.  Then I do my 30 minutes of cardio and 15 minutes of Abs.  I wait about 45 min - 1 hour and drink a protein shake (usually Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey)  or eat a protein packed meal.  I don't take anything except a couple Protein shakes on non workout days.  What do you think?

you need to do that IMMEDIATELY after you're finished working out

i think you need to post your diet, i bet that's what's killing you

it seems as if everybody who is new to lifting falls into the BSN trap
 
dont buy BSN products. they lie! and they are ripping u off!

yeah, BSN is garbage.....

if you post your diet, we can see what you eat, and help you out. 

your diet is 90% of any goal you're trying to achieve

Yeah, take your shake within 20 min of finishing your workout. You need carbs as well.

you have a 2 hour window after your workout to hit the peak nutrient uptake.
You should also be using a complete multi vitamin, EFA's, and an antioxidant combo, at bare minimum.

Thanks for the advice.  I do need to clean up my diet.  I try and take in 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.  But I work in a job somedays where you don't eat in a twelve hour ship.  I usually take protein powder and protein bars to work.  On my days off from work I eat really solid.  Grilled Chicken, Salmon, Tuna Steaks, Eggs.  I usually can limit myself to one to two protein shakes a day and still acheive my desired protein intake.  I have read a lot about BCAA's. Are they worth the hype.  And what can I supplement besides taking the BSN products....cause I like the NO-xplode, but haven't seen much from the CellMass..but I did just start taking it less than a month ago.  I just want to get stronger with lean mass.

Two tips for supplement purchases:
Buy it online and buy it on sale.

BSN is being sued for lying about what is in their products. I think it's been a year now since that started.
