For strength you should be looking at 5 reps and less.

Make sure you are stretching the muscles that you have just worked out. Don't stretch cold muscles.

Multi vitamins

Glutamine, branch chain amino acids and protein right after workouts and throughout the day.

Hey,
I'm from Amherst, NS Canada.
I'm 16, and started working out a few years ago, manily for strength. Over time as I became more educated, I started training better with things like creatine, glutamine, lots of protein, etc.
Right now I am about 5'9, and 148 lbs.
I train for strength, as I am a competitive TaeKwon-do fighter, and boxer. I intend to go to the World Championship in 2 years, and a Friendship World Cup next year.
I Currently take:
Mutlivitaman - Everyday
Cre-Aklyn Creatine - 2 a day, then 1 before boxing, tkd or weights
Glutamine tablet( 1g) every day and after a work out
Some B6, and B12 vitamens when I have alot of protein.
Protein after every work out( shake) and morning after work out.
I eat alot of Fiber and Protein in my diet, as well as alot of cheating.
I want to gain strength, without massive size gains.(size is good though)
I train with 12 rep sets, usually 4 set for all muscle groups.
I also stretch every nite, as I'm in TKD and need flexibility.
What sounds best for me? Thanks guys
