I too live in CA and I think Max Muscle is very expensive. I wouldn't shop there. I usually mix my own stuff. I recommend N-Large-2, some whey isolate, creatine, dextrose, and a seperate container of maltodextrin. This is what I do with these:

preworkout:
3 spoonfuls of dextrose
5 grams of creatine
1-2 scoops of VP2 (Whey Isolate)
1 heaping scoop of maltodextrin
- I do this because you need a fast acting whey to get absorbed as you workout. The dextrose and maltodextrin (carbs) will also sustain energy levels while you lift. If I don't take them, I usually feel sick to my stomach when I lift.

Postworkout #1:
2 scoops of N-Large-2 (weightgainer, it's a half serving)
1 heaping scoop of VP2
5-10 grams creatine
1000 mg vitamin C
1 vitamin supplement
1 mineral supplement
- The vitalmin and mineral supplement is the kind you take 3 times a day with food so it's a low dose, not a full on multi. 2 scoops of N-Large-2 has about 25 grams of protein and about 45 grams of carbs. I add this to a scoop of VP2 which has about 23 or so grams of protein.

Postworkout #2:
2 scoops of N-Large-2
1 scoop of VP2
- I drink this one a half an hour after the first one to continue supplying my muscles with what they need.

Postworkout #3:
A big meal.
