Advice on weight training

Hey everyone. I just finished all my exams and with the absense of my training my body build has faded away:rolleyes: . I used to train everyother day and since the demanding time schedule of school i havent had time to training at all the past year. Well ive got all this spare time now, so ive decided to put my foot on the gas and get into shape. Before i never cared what i ate whilst training. Like having a kebab with plenty of chilli sauce then going to the gym doing full work out then burping chilli sauce back up :p: , stupid i know... Well what im asking is does anyone know what i can take to boost muscle development, apart from the steriods. Dont fancy becoming an addict. Ive looked at all the packaged crap in argos and boots but ive always come across negative comments about it.

Cheers

Tom

Works out cheaper getting it from america. I've just ordered 2 5lb tubs of it along with 2 7lb tubs of carbo gain (purly complex carbs). Should keep me going for a while.

This is my 3rd order with them and they've always delivered on time. Highly recommend them.

o and get the tropical punch flavour, goes great with orange or apple juice

Find a good protein shake, and those protein bars. Try and speak to a fitness trainer at your local gym, and ask him about it. I know that at mine, the fitness trainer is there during the entire time the gym is open in case we need his help!

Get MPmax protein, chocolate mint flavour. Amazing. Use code MP3834 to get 5% off your first order, too.

Ch3if, they do but it seems to work out the same price on ebay. They charge around $18 for 7-14 day delivery :confused: . Better off getting it from ebay. Btw what seller do you use as there is a number of them.

Yea, takes about a week. Postage works out to be loads compared to the actual price of the order. But if you do the math it works out cheaper than the greedy importers are selling it.
