Hi - Just looking for a little guidance here.
I train 4-5 times a week and built a good bit of muscle/definition.
I now want to take it a stage further. I currently take a pre-workout shale (X-Plode) and Whey Potein (with Creatine) post workout.
I'm interested to know if anyone suggests any other supplement that would seriously help me with muscle (not weight) gain. Amino Acids? When should these be taken.
Thanks

Exactly this, dialing in your nutrition will be where you want to go next.
You could look into BCAAs if you happen to train fasted, otherwise if you're getting adequate amounts of protein daily you most likely can do without them.
You could add in a multi vitamin and a fish oil if you wanted.- Axis Labs Forum Rep -

Diet and nutrition is the key to building muscle or cutting fat.
Calorie surplus = build muscle/gain weight
Calorie deficit = cut fat/lose weight
Get your diet worked out first according to your goal. Based on the supplements you already take, the only additions I'd recommend is a good multivitamin and fish oil to round off your diet and daily nutrient intake. The basics for supplements imo are a multi, fish oil, creatine, and protein powder. So you'd have that rounded off by adding both. But your results primarily come from diet and training.Progressive overload + progressive eating = gains. Simple as that!

Simple advice would be caloric surplus and if you wanted, add a creatine supplement to help with some strength. 3-5 grams daily will do the trick. To put on size and muscle, you have to feed them adequately. That's where caloric surplus comes in.

OP, splitting up your days might be something to consider. Two days high carb and two days low carb. I find this much easier than cutting and bulking. Give it a shot for 6 weeks.
Good luck with your goals
