Newbie looking for advice on supplements - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hi guys, new on here (as you can guess with my post count). Been meaning to "sort myself out" for some time and recently started with the weights.

I am now looking for some information on supplements that would aid me in adding size/ bulk and muscle. Can anybody advise on a meal replacement (busy job and only have 1/2 for lunch and looking to replace the canteen fish and chips!) and a supplement for increasing muscle mass.

Cheers
Jay

simple eat food.

Search mate, theres a million and one threads on stuff like this, we can't single handedly sort out your diet for you.

Labrada Lean Body or Reflex Progen.
Both are decent meal replacement supplements.

As for a "supplement for increasing muscle mass", there are not many on the market that actually work.

I stick to a clean diet and just protien whey which has given me just under a stone of fairly clean wieght over the past year. Search the posts and you'll find a shedload of info.
GOOD LUCK.

Jimmy you big bully frightening the newbies away lol...

meal replacement for adding mass

met-rx or myoplex mrp's - easy to handle sachets but not that cost effective
myprotein do a cheap one which is supposed to be good £20 for 20 sachets..£1 per meal.

Not going to be as good as proper food though, try making up some chicken/Turkey with a baked spud/pasta & veg..stick it in a tuppa wear box and eat it while your in work/on the road whatever...

A good supplement for adding a bit of mass creatine has been used for years and is still good theres loads on the market that are pretty cheap and effective

Diet is 100% the most important. Don't expect to have a **** diet but take supplements and you will grow. I believe the supplements most commonly used are Protein and Creatine. These are both very useful and alongside a good diet of whole food can increase gains.

I would suggest amega weight gainer for quick mass as there high in calories. A standard weight gainer to put on some good size. I just got N-Large by prolab from House Of Pain Nutrition.com just last week.
