What supps should I use next?>

[SDMan]

So I think I've got a good training program, and I've been working on getting proper rest. Now I'm focusing on tightening up my nutrition. Ultimately, I think I will be trying one of the beginner cycles that I've seen recommended, but not until everything else is right and I'm closer to my natural potential.

My food intake is pretty good and I'm keeping track of what I eat. My immediate goal is to put on as much muscle as possible over the next year and enter a contest next December. At this point, I know that my bf is much too high, about 20%, but I'm not as concerned with this while I am still adding muscle. I think I'm mostly ectomorphic, tall and lanky, and I know that without a lot of effort, I can get my bodyfat down fairly quickly. I just won't be able to put on much muscle during the process. Macronutrients, calorie-wise, are about 33/33/33, and I'm gradually working my way up in total calories until I start seeing my weight increase. Looks like at this point that will be around 4000.

I'm currently using the following supps: multi-vitamins, fish oil, and protein powder; and I'm interested in introducing some new supplements to the regimen. I would rather do this one at a time because to me buying a whole bunch of new products and taking them makes no sense. I would never know which are working and which aren't. My question is, which supplements do you think are most important? My gut tells me that I should try creatine first, but I'm open to suggestion. The product I'm looking at is CEE by True Protein.

What do you recommend and how do you use it?

lots of people seem to get good results with CEE so I say give it a try b/c it's cheap.

I say something like 2-3 grams pre and post workout is good for most people.

I liked a creatine called Green Bulge by Controlled Labs, it really improved my strength and gave good pumps with less fatigue. You can stack that with an NO booster for some pretty intense workouts.

Creatine is the next logical step.

Creatine is the next logical step.

Thanks Big A! Much appreciated.

Big A is right like usual

Yeah jump on some ester creatine. It is the best. if you feal comfortable with it, make sure to load in the begining. Your H20 intake MUST increase when you start or you will have all kinds of issues.

Also if you are looking to stay away from gear specificly but still looking for an edge I have had great results from T-BOMB II, NO-XPLODE, HMB, CLA, and Zinc Magnesium Aspertate.

If you are taking T-BOMB II use an estrogen blocker. The total above with the creatine costs me about $120 a month.

I'd add glutamine pre and PWO and creatine in there
