Amino Acid / Protein / Creatine
I've been told that these three things are the most important for someone looking to gain muscle. My questions are this
1. How much?
2. When?
I'm not happy with the gains I've made in the past 10 months. I'm not armed with a new workout schedule and I'm ready to re-vamp my diet. Do I really need 2x my body weight in grams of Protein? How much Amino Acid should I take? I have Amino 1000 by GNC. The directions say I should take 3 pills 3 times a day!!! INSANE!! That's 9 pills per day! And these are huge pills. What gives? Full-Spectrum Amino acid. Is Amino acid truly something I should take? I have Creatine Monohydrate. I take a dose of thise 30 minutes prior to working out. Is that right? Is my timing okay? How much of this stuff is a joke and how much of it really works?
I appreciate any/all advice and thank you for reading my post!
