Which Supplement? [ Thin guy ]

[RyanCMH]

Hey guys,

So just some basic info about me to give you a lil' idea on what to base your suggestion on.

Height: 175cm
Weight: 47kg
Age: Early 20s

Started going to the gym earlier this Monday and had my first real intense workout with curls and weight bar 2 days ago, and took a break from the gym yesterday. Yesterday, I ate the entire day with food including fish porridge, mix veg rice, 'Kangaroo' peanuts, and one & half carton of HL milk but today, my arms are still fairly sore from the workout 2 days ago.

Is this due to lack of protein still? Since I'm fairly sure I consumed a good amount yesterday.

Should I start taking supplement powder? If yes, which one? I'm currently deciding between these few options.

Option #1: http://sg.fitlion.com/mass-tech-performance-series-4049

Option #2: http://sg.fitlion.com/cat/mass-gainer/king-mass-xl-15-lb

Option #3: http://sg.fitlion.com/super-mass-gainer-3786

I'm unsure which one would be the best for me in terms of effectiveness, risk and cost. Taste is not a huge deal, but a nice to have.

My goal is to reach at least 65kg at the end of the year, but not really a big deal as well, just mainly trying to gain weight and get fitter.

Kindly advise this newbie, thank you!

you eat not enough protein. go read IIFYM more

and dont need whey protein, mass gainer etc.

what you need are citrulline malate, arginine nitrate and caffeine. very cheap and most effective.

Eat peanut butter with 2 slices of bread for breakfast, tea time and supper.

Will do research on those in a bit, thank you for the advice!

Will keep this in mind, thank you. Need finish my oatmeal pack before I purchase peanut butter ba.

Any recommended brands (Skippy, peter pans etc) and types? (crunchy / creamy)

Thanks again for the advice.

you are not going to be 65kg at the end of the year, that's for sure. under ideal circumstances, beginners gain 1kg of muscle a month. better start adjusting your expectations.

mass gainers are just a whole lot of everything, especially sugar. what i'd suggest is a good balanced diet supplemented by whey (during post workout) and casein (anytime else) protein.

peanut butter is great. go for those with no sugar.

start doing compound exercises only. aka your bench press, military press, squats, deadlifts and barbell rows.

I also suggest a a quick tutorial on basic nutrition because i think you have no concept on how weight, be it muscles or fats, is gained and how it relates in its entirety to your daily caloric consumption.

Like I said in my opening post, it isn't a big deal regarding the expectations, just a nice to have.

Will take note, thank you. Any particular ones you trust and recommend? Will still do my research but it helps to have recommendations.

Dairy like full cream Milk (high fat), cheese, yoghurt. Peanut butter sandwich.

I garanteed u will get supplement no matter what so my advice is
1) whey protein (mix of casein + fast digestive)
2) make your own mass gainer (plenty of receipe online, most common ingredient mix with peanut butter, fruit, milk, soy etc)
3) forget about isolation exercise, focus on compound

Dont get muscletech. Taste like a*s. My 2kg whey isolate i have to literally chug it down and wash with water. Please do yourself a favor and stay off that.
