right now i am on the weight gaining phase. I am taking gnc multivitamins, omega fish oil, t-boosters, bcaa, c4, and whey protein. before i started i weight 175 lbs. i ran a lot but also did a little bit of weight lifting. but now i am dedicating in just gaining 10-15 lbs in the nest 3-4 months. in a month i gained 5 lbs and gain strength. I am now benching 80-85 lbs dumbbells, 275lbs deadlifts, 250lbs squats on the smith machine.
I do cardio on the weekend but only for 30 mins. my calorie intake in one day is between 4000-5000 calories. i still run a 9:30 min 1.5 mile.
make sure you take your multi vitamins daily and drink plenty of water ( 1/2 gal to 1 gal a day) if you are doing cardio and trying to gain weight or maintain a certain weight, you have to take in a lot of calories or balance it out.
with supplements, i do them through cycles. when i go to gnc or vitamin shop, i just ask the sales rep which is their most popular supplement that people are taking and what's their opinion about it. i also ask people at the gym as what are they taking.
