[Token Asian Kid]

Hey, just joined the forum...I started browsing a few weeks ago when my friend showed me a thread on cutting water by homonucleus (which was very helpful), but I didn't get around to registering until today.

I guess for starters, I'm 18 and have been lifting for about eleven months. I'm 6'2" and around 185 lbs. My favorite exercises are incline dumbell press and deadlifts, and I play on my college's waterpolo team. Right now, the only supplements I'm taking are ON whey, glucosamine/MSM, a multivitamin, omega 3-6-9 pills, and ON casein.

Welcome to the board, TAK.
You may want to add some amino acids to your daily supplementation as well.

Thanks...is it actually more cost-effective to take amino acid supplements, or to just spend the money on more protein?

there are a handful of free form amino acids worth taking a look at but at 18yrs old and the level you indicate you are at i would worry more about daily total protein intake as you stated, as well as sound training methods and proper rest. Its all you really need at this point.

what up man welcome and good luck with ur workouts!

Right now, I consume ~350 g of protein a day, ~400 - 450 g of carbs, and ~80 g of fats a day, and do two workouts a day on MWF.

Monday:
AM (chest) - 5x incline dumbell press, 3x dips, 3x cable crossovers / caskets supersets
PM (shoulders) - 4x military press, 4x upright row, 2x lateral raise / rear delt raise supersets

Wednesday:
AM (back) - 4x deadlift, 4x t-bar row, 4x wide-grip chinup, 2x machine pullover, 2x dumbell shrugs
PM (tris) - 4x french press, 3x tricep pushdown, 3x tricep kickback

Friday:
AM (legs) - 5x squats, 2x leg press, 4x leg extension / hamstring curl supersets
PM (bis) - 4x barbell curl, 3x hammer curl, 3x concentration curl

I hit abs/calves with each PM workout.
TThSat, I usually do light cardio

Any tips/suggestions/changes? Thanks.
