hey all, as the title surgests, i wanna bulk up a bit, i'm not fat or anything i'm just not that strong or that big in musclclar views, don't get me wrong i don't wanna end up like this:
but i just wanna put on some muscle, i've been doing weights for a couple of weeks, nothing much, just my usual to keep me fit, i've slowly increased this and i havn't seen much growth of the time, my mate, (he's a gym instructor, trainie anyway) has recommend that i drink some protien shakes before and after i train, idk, has anyone else done this and does it work?
Also where can i get some?
I don't want to be told not to have them as its my choice on what i want to do, i just want some advice please
Thanks

As for protien, since I'm assuming you won't take any advice that isn't reccomendations Look at body building websites for reccomendations. Most will taste like shit, avoid fake sugars, look for whey isolate as its the most effective and as for when you take it, many people get upset stomaches taking it right before or right after sessions so its a learning process. There is tons and tons and tons of information out there. A quick protein google search will get you any info. Don't be scared by body building websites. Even if it isn't your goal they can be very helpful to everybody.
bulk unflavoured isolate is the cheapest, also if you wanna bulk, and are prepared to put in the effort lifting in the gym, look into taking creatine.
And a tiny pee-pee.
Unflavoured Impact Whey
Creatine
L-Glutamine
A good multi Vitamin.
oats are good. have about 20g protein before workout. and 30-40 after workout blended with some oats blended so they hit you faster and speed up recovery time.
dunno much about l-glutamine, and creatine, is apparently supposed to be taken afterward with plenty of water.
drinking lots of water constantly is a good idea anyway, just make sure your piss in near clear.
He also mentioned that most men have to take all sorts of proteins and supplements to get big and bulky even when they're lifting stupidly heavy weights. But, i don't know anything about them and the others have given you some decent info.
I'll see him in about an hour so i'll ask him what he recommends
