Re: Fresh Start!!

If you're looking to 'bulk up' then Compounds + Solid eating + Sleep. Do the compound lifts i.e. Bench Presses/Shoulder Presses/Squats/Deadlifts. Eat plenty of Protein (Chicken/Lean cuts of Red Meat/Fish)+ complex carbs (such as rice, potatoes, oats etc.) + healthy fats (such as Olive Oil/Peanut Butter/Fish Oil etc). 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Forget about the 'flashy' supplements, at first, for now focus on getting a good Multi-Vitamin + Glutamine + BCAAs + Protein Powder. All of these can be bought at a health food store or online (cheaper).

If you're looking for a specific routine do a search on the boards and I'm sure you'll find something that will fit what you're looking for. Aim for 1-2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. Aim for 2-3 grams of carbs per pound of bodyweight. Aim for 70 + grams of healthy fats per day distributed evenly among your meals (except for Post Workout). These numbers are for mass building.
