    • What supplements should i take?

I used to run track and field and lift weights in high school. I am now in College and looking forward to working out again. I am 5"8 and I weight about 130 pounds. When i used to weight lift, my one rep max for bench press was 180lbs. The problem is that i never really gained mass, i just became cut and toned. I used to take whey protein but now i'm looking for something with more results, like creatine maybe? I want to gain mass to the point where my t-shirts fit snug at the sleeve, if you what i mean... what do I take?

I'd suggest the following as a basic protocol to see some immediate/solid gains/results (based upon your training being intense):

Meal Replcement product (2x /day): in conjunction with 3 clean meals

SNI Creatine Ethyl Ester

Fish Oil (any quality brand from Vitamin Shoppe)

Casein Protein (1 serving pre-bed)

 

This is a very basic program that will yield results.

 

Best of Luck-

I would wait on creatine, until you get back into the swing of things. 
You cant just lift weights, and expect to get big, you need to eat to get big.  Eat more calories than your body needs.  something like Allmax Quickmass

would be great, to get those anabolic calories in, so you can grow.  Then look into adding creatine, some aminos, maybe a pre-workout to get the most out of your training session.

Inaction, if your just getting back into things I would not muddy up the waters with supplements just yet! Learn how to eat, learn how your body responds to certain foods while putting together your training schedule. Once you start getting some of the results you are looking for then you may want to do some research to see how certain supplements may help you get to your next level. I am a big believer in supplementation, WHEN YOUR NUTRITION IS ON SPOT! Other than that you may be just wasting your money. Suggestions keep your protein high and consistant (1.5-2.0 grams per lean body mass), keep your carbs clean and low GI, eat small meals every 2-3 hrs and most important be consistant in everything you do. If you trip up somewhere, do not sweat it, just pick up where you left off and do not look back!

Good luck!
