Hmm Dont use sups much myself other than Protein powder. For me, return vs investment doesnt make it worthwhile.

I have found I dont need them. As long as your diet is top notch (6 meals) and your workouts stimulating enough then you will grow as long as you have a calorie surplus. Diet and Workout = 90%+ of the equation so Id start there first. Especially if youre a beginner. Get into it and then try heavy supps when/if you hit a plateau.

Looks like youre already gulping down enough supps to help along. Perhaps others who have tried these supps can better advise.

I'm brand new at this and I'm about to get started with a new exercise routine, it's one I found on bodybuilding.com, and my goal is pretty much to add as much muscle/size as I can within the next 3 months. I feel comfortable with the exercises, and I took the last week to go slowly through the workouts to make sure I knew the techniques (esp. squats and deadlifts) but I want to make sure I'm using the best supplements I could be (if you're going to do it, do it the right way is what I figure).

I just came off a few months of 2x/day cardio and diet to get my eating right and I dropped 35-40 lbs, so I don't think diet or work ethic is going to be an issue.

Right now I'm taking NO2 Black (MRI) and Leukic (MuscleTech) in the morning with a 12-hour release protein shake with added Glutamine and multi-vitamin, More NO2 Black before lunch (I just follow the packaging instructions), Whey Protein shake/Creatine/Leukic before workout, Whey Protein shake/Creatine/Glutamine after workout, and 12-hour release protein shake with added Glutamine before bed. I've also been trying to get 2 other protein shakes in while at work to make sure I get enough protein, and I usually mix fiber in with those.

Right now I'm 6'4" 250 and not a good 250, so I have quite a bit of work ahead of me. A fat burner would be nice but I don't need an appetite suppressant, I have enough will-power to do that on my own, and I prefer it that way.

Any suggestions on how I can make this better??
