new at supplements

[B_rye]

i have started my 2nd year of weightlifting and in those 2 years i have improved my strength and health by a lot. my friend says that i should start taking some supplements but nothing hardcore like creatine yet. he said to take some protein. my questions are, any suggestions on any protein supplements i should take and when should i take it. i ride my bike 5 miles home from summer weights to improve my leg muscles so should i do while i ride or when i get home.

p.s. this thread type of thread has probably been posted a lot but i would really appreciate it if you could help out. thanks!

Creatine isn't hardcore - it's found in food.

Top 3 Supps IMO are a multivitamin, creatine and a simple protein powder when my protein is lagging or post workout.

AtLarge sells all three affordably.

YEP! coudln't agree more! If you've got a solid diet..i'd actually recommend ALN's RESULTS before getting a protien supplement. Most people that are using it are seeing pr's within a couple weeks of taking it and are feeling it almost immediately when it comes to how you feel both during your workout and in general. Good stuff! :thumbup:

Gotta second the RESULTS as a staple in any supplement regimen! I also enjoy the Opticen because it is hard for me to get so many meals in each day.

Multi's, EFA's, and something for energy is all I take past that.
