If you are looking for some good quality, good tasting, and cheap prot powder...

Check out www.TrueProtein.com

I like their stuff...head to toe.

You need to be eating good clean foods in LARGE amounts. When I was around 200 pounds I cooked every meal the night before.
2 chicken breasts
2 turkey breasts
6oz red meat
4 fish fillets
1 gallon milk
1 pound pasts (dry)
lots of other carbs...of choice

It takes TIME to build the body that you want. I've been training for near 11 years and at 290+ I'm not satisfied.

Fun fact: I'm pretty sure doggcrapp is the owner, or at least part-owner of True Protein.

Low rep compound movments like bench, squat, shoulder press, rows. All heavy, but never skimp on form.

these exercises arent necessarily LOW REP. Mix and match your sets, reps, and exercises.

I have just their basic whey prot powder. I also picked up some of their creatine and dex/malto mix (50/50 mixed) and it is pretty darn good as well.

I'm really impressed with them so far.

truthfully, you will develop bigger arms by not working them- but by doing squats, benches, rows, deads, and dips...not by doing a specialized arm routine.

you only weigh 140, you need to put on size all over your body. For every 10-12 lbs of LBM- you will put on about 1" to your arms.

yes yes yes!!! Ms Bev i read the 10 lb =1 inch gain on the arms somewhere else as well, i just wrote it in another post here..do you know exactly where to find that info (no fuss, only if its handy)!! 9 out of 10 think its a magic arm routine..show me someone with a big squat and they will most definitely have big arms!!

I bought this Whey Protein Vanilla Shake for $30 but my god it tastes like shit... I usually have to mix a lot of fruit like Strawberry, Bluberry, Banana before I can get rid of the taste but I never have the fruits in the house so I don't drink the shake, I can't drink it bare because of it's nasty taste. I wanted to order the RTD 50 Vanilla Bean off the net for $30 but it only comes with 12 cans but at least 50 grams of protein would help a lot.

The Whey Protein I have now is 88 ounce, IRON-TEK Essential Protein 100% Pure Whey I usually mix it with 1 cup Vitamin D Meadow Gold Milk, handful of Ice and just blend it. Occasionally I add banana and strawberry but not often. This is only 17 grams of protein so I would have to suffer drinking this 3 times a day.. so if anybody can refer me to some good tasting high protein bars or better shakes please do. I don't care about spending money on this stuff I just care about spending money and them not working. If I spent $1,000 on suppliments and it worked I would be happy and satisfied, I'm just very cautious of spending $1,000 and after It's all done I'm still the same.

I have tons of cans of Tuna laying around but I never ate seafood in my life. So that sucks because Tuna has about 13 grams of protein.

Supplements are just that: supplements, not substitutes. You should focus on eating sufficient amounts of protein and carbs, not which protein powder is best. So many beginners start out buying creatine, protein powder, HGH, chromium, and other supplements, but they neglect their regular diet. Your diet is KEY, not supplements.

It's a pain in the ass, but COUNT THOSE CALORIES. To get started, try keeping a journal of everything you eat in a single day, and at the end of the day, figure out how many calories you've eaten. I did it once, and was amazed.

Make up a diet, or search the diet discussion boards for other people's diets. I'd suggest eating ~200-250g of protein, 300-400g carbs, and 60-80g fat.

As for working out, look around for bulking routines, or ask some of the pros around here.
