Hi all i just signed up to the forum hoping for some advice

I am a building labourer and already have muscle and i have a small multi gym in my room.

Problem is i have got to the point were i dont seem to be getting much bigger.

i take creatine powder before my work outs aswell.

i want to try to get bigger muscles but also try and gain a few inches in height if possible

so i ordered 100 500mg L-arginine tablets, 50 500mg l-glutamine tablets and 908g of vanilla WHEY PROTINE yum yum yum

it has just arrived and i read on the forum that you need 5g of l-argine a day but thats 10 tablets! the stated dose is 1 a day and says do not exceed haha.

First off thanks for the American stone to lb conversion...lol


As for Arginine, I don't know that you really need any. What was your hope for it? A specific reason you wanted it?

Glutamine seems to depend on who you ask on whether its useless or not. Your whey protein likely has Glutamine already in it. That's the best option out of the 3 you bought. I'd spend more money on protein less on the other 2.

Yes.

Stick with the whey protein (take it when you need a quick and easy protein drink) and focus more on your exercise regimen (work your whole body, not just arms and chest) and your diet (get most of your calories from food).
