Default New To The Forum Help Plz

hey guys im new to the forum, i have been working out for about 2 years now. I'm 6'2" and weigh right around 190 lbs. I was thinking about taking supplements but i am not sure what to take, i am looking for something to get stronger and bigger, lol i no thats what everyone wants, but i just would like to see alittle more results, anything u guys have in mind, what would you say is the best thing u guys have taken thats boosted your strength and/or size. I would like to have a max of 300 lbs on bench before highschool graduation which is in end of june, my max is just under 250 now, any ideas guys. thanks
-Dave

Creatine, waxy maize, BCAAs are a good place to start. I'm sure others will suggest some more but I know creatine will help. Creatine mono is effective and fairly inexpensive, but supplementation will only help so much. What does your routine look like as well as your diet. These are much more important than supplementation. Good luck.

Protein. Read the "How to Bulk" sticky in the nutrition forum. I would bet money that your diet isn't good...and that is more important than all of the supplements in the world. Getting your diet right is the best way to put on size.

As far as my routine i do chest and tri's one day bi's, forearm, legs another day, abs, legs, back + shoulders next day. As far as my diet goes you guessed correctly it probably isn't good. I normally have eggs or cereal in the a.m. sandwhich or burger for lunch, and then steak, chicken, or about once a week fast food with friends, what should i be eating i read the thing you told me to read but i am still not to sure what it means. Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.

And the "What a bodybuilder eats" sticky.

Could you write your workout down so it's legible? I have no idea what you're talking about...it's just a bunch of words that are run together. Also list your rep ranges and number of sets as well as when your rest days are.

Ross is right. You need to break things down for us better in order for our input to be useful. That means diet as well as routine.

Day1: chest and tri
Day2: Bi, forearm, legs
Day3: Abs, Legs, Back, Shoulders
Is this what you ment? needs some modification if so. What kind of exercises are you doing for each of these body parts?
