Pretty new to this website, & deffinetly & desperately in need of help.
I'm 6'2 only weighing in at 150. Started working out last week and I'm taking Amplified Mass XXX and Mega Men Sport pills. I was also recommended to take pure creatine, but is it healthy to take alll of these supplements all at once? I was hoping in gaining at least 30 lbs by June, July the latest. Do you guys have any recommendations as to any workouts in particular I should do? or any other supplements that would give me better results? any feed back is greatly appreciated.

I'm a hardgainer like you man. I went from 120 lbs to 144 lbs in like 6 weeks using a workout I designed at the website below:

Actually I don't know what to recommend, the only thing is - don't take them all at once

To get big you must EAT big and TRAIN big.

You don't really need to use supplements but if you're going to use them I would suggest (in order of importance):

1) a basic protein powder
2) a multivtamin (I dont' bother would over priced supp store BS)
3) creatine

That being said, don't rely on protein powder for your daily protein needs. It is good for when you need quick absorbing protein (directly before or after the gym) but otherwise you should focus on consuming as much whole/non-processed foods as you can.

To train big you have to focus on your big compound movements. Squats, deads, bench, military press. Make these your priority and you will be rewarded with strength and size.

Just my $2c.

I started listening to these guys, and started bulking quick. I would recommend you start with a workout plan that has all the compound lifts and lots of body weight too. A program like that will ease you into lifting, preparing your stabilizing muscles, and it will really help prevent over training.

I used this program for three weeks,

scribd.com/doc/47980929

That way you can get used to compound lifts. I would then work my way into doing more hardcore complex programs, like 5x5 and dog crapp.

As for your supplements I would recommend starting with protein and vitamins, and then moving onto creatine when you switch to something harder. Also check out the eating section on the forums, because if you want to be 200lbs then you go to eat like you weigh 200lbs.

Thanks guys, deffinetly changing up my workout then and adding more food to my daily consumption.
-@crashbailey, I wasn't able to see the workout that you posted, think I can have the proper link? thanks

yea sorry man, just click the link in my signature, it's all there.

when you get there the navigation bar is to the left.

try the routine and dieting tips for 4 weeks and let me know what kind of results you get.

hit it hard and good luck!

As another person said, stick with creatine MONO (not the cee or kre-alkalyn), a decent protein powder, a multivitamin, and fish oil. That's all you need.

The main thing is FOOD and proper training.
