Read this thread thoroughly:

Lift as much as you can without going to failure. But you should start below that so you don't stall right away.

are you drinking the gallon of milk a day?

did you buy the book?

SykosouL · 08-02-2008, 08:44 AM

I haven't read it, someone told me to try it so I'm trying it the best I know until people tell me what I'm doing wrong and then I fix the problem. If u have any advice please give it, I have never done body building before so I really need help. I just bought some cellmass and I'm trying to figure out how to use it.

IGF-WON · 08-02-2008, 08:50 AM

google the SS wiki

i dont know what cellmass is, but i bet its a piece of crap

I just take whey protien powder...go look at the protien powder thread to get an idea of what other people are takin. Price is a concern...just don't go too cheap ...like the walmart brand...tastes like crap! lol

I've been taking muscletech cause it was on sale.

I looked up the tread on creatine to see what the most people were taking so I got cellmass cause I seen a lot of people saying it was great, it taste ok but I'm gonna start loading on Monday. I also take gold standard 100% whey protein and it taste good, i take it after I work out, should I take it more then that?

it depends. They usually say that after the workout is the best time to take protien powder and that protien from real food is the best source of protien. Nothing wrong with taking an extra protien shake either in the morning or during the day though if you want.
