usually alot of bbq sauce has high fructose corn syrup in it...same shit that's in soda iirc.

Good advice Ross.

I would also cut out the whole milk ( no milk at all) Try and cut out all the bad fat and Bad Carbs that you can. There is good fat( fish Oils, EVO, nuts)and carbs( brown rice, yams, oats) you can add the evo to your protein shake.
Cut out the granola bars, waffles , syrup. Add in some egg whites go with 1 whole egg and 6 whites with a cup of oats for breakfast. You need to add in some GREENS. Spinach is very good, lettuce, beans, peas and asparagus.

When do you workout ? What is your pre and post nutrients look like.

I workout usually around 2:45pm tues and thurs. sat and sun = ~11am.

EVO? what's that?

red meat protein, this is what.. hamburger meat, steak.. that's all I can think of. is chicken good?

EVO - extra virgin olive oil (i guess it's EVOO)

Do you take pre / post workout shakes ? ( carbs / protein )

Yes, chicken is very good. Low fat High Protein.

pre and post workout shakes consist of the same thing. 1 scoop of whey + water. should that differ?

Pre & post workout nutrition

Before reading all the knowledge here, my dinner used to consist of orange chicken and mashpotatoes LOL... God I'm glad I found you guys.

Another question I had, since 5x5 rippetoe is a STRENGTH and POWER program, and I'm looking for pure mass, what program should I go on? Am I making another newbie mistake here in looking for the right 'program' ? I'm not sure what mindset I should be having here but as far as I see it...

bottom line: rippetoe is for strength. I'm looking for mass. what now?

Strength = mass, especially when you're starting out. If you are getting stronger, then you are getting bigger. SS will be a good program for you. Ask again in a few years and you might get a different answer.

Absolutely

Ok man I totally believe you, you have way more experience than me and are bigger, but, I'm a little hesitant because before I was squatting, deadlifting, rowing, benching 5x5, and eating OK... and I wasn't getting ANY gains on my arms or muscle-wise. (the post about working out for a year no gains etc)

so either something was wrong seriously with my diet? I was overtraining? or maybe I wasn't working hard enough? can I do a 4x12 or 5x8 instead of 5x5?

.. I have reason to believe my body responds better to more reps, maybe I'm crazy, but, when I was putting the weight down after 5 reps I felt like "wow I want to push myself a little more"
