whey protein

You want a high quality Ion-exchange Whey protein, but watch out for claims of too much protein per serving - the human body can only utilise 30g of protein at a time.

You also have a window of opportunity for 60 mins after your workout, when your body is obviously screaming out for nutrients (unless yer trainin like a hairdresser :p ) Durning this one hour, your body is able to absorb and utilise doulbe the amount of nutrients from food, in only half the time (i.e. if your body normally took 20g in 20 mins, for talking sake, then post-workout, it would take 40g in 10 mins :good: )

Ideally, you should consume some complex (spuds, pasta, bread etc.) and simple carbs (sugar) within the first 30 mins, to help restore your blood glucose level quickly and sustain it for a couple of hours, then take the afore mentioned whey protein in the second 30 mins to help the repairing process.

It is also vitally important to take a source of protein about and hour or so before bed, to ensure you have sufficient amino acids in your system to help repair the muscle. Your body only releases growth hormone when your in REM sleep, so make sure ya got some protein in there to help it out.

You should also remember that you don't getr stronger when you're training, you get stronger when you sleep - think about babies, they sleep all the feckin time and grow LOADS! So don't overtrain - get plenty of sleep (unlkess of course it's a good night for a shine :ph34r: :whistle: :p )

If ya need any more advice Hawkeye, give me a buzz (almost 12 years as a personal trainer before my recent career change, bro. ;) )

Mammoth 2500 powder

Its good stuff, a serving had 156g carbs, 60g protein, 1200 calories.

Its good for packing on the mass, take it some after you have trained.

slow, controlled reps, lift a weight that you can manage between 8-12 reps of.

 

Used to be bang into it, just starting back, chest and arms mainly.

 

CHEST

5 sets of cable pec flies

3 sets bench press

2 sets incline bench

3 sets of vertical pec dec

 

TRICEPS

5 sets tricep pressdowns

some good advice but dont skimp on the calories some people get too bogged down with how much protein and carbs there taking in get some good quality clean calories in to you its all fuel for the fire, concentrate on the big movements eg the squat and deadlift and allways try for progression with every session dont try and make big gains with your weights as you will soon lose focus when you arent making progress and get disheartned, take a notepad with you and right down what you lifting if you cant lift any more weight try for an extra rep.

Another good excersise are weighted dips and weighted chins, some good articles in the following links or you could do a search for stuart mcroberts

think a rough rule of thumb is about a gram or protein for every pound of body weight but dont hold me to that
