Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Good idea. Outside of some basic food and making sure you eat decently, your effort is best spent working hard and learning. Don't throw money at the 1% - put some effort into getting the 99% right. In most cases it won't mean crap and I have yet to see anybody that didn't get big and strong or got there significantly more slowly because they lacked isolated monkey ass oil. Worry about that after everything else is solid. The first book that you should probably buy is Starting Strength. Think of it as an investment in yourself and $70-125 saved this month.young_squatter said:

there's nothing wrong with a multi, some whey, and something like muscle milk to add wehn you can't get a solid meal in, but yeah supps are 1%, the training and eating are the other 99%.

Thanks guys
Madcow I already bought starting strength, I ordered it from mark rippetoe after I talked to him on the phone, It should be here any day now.
Supplements That I have right now: Higher Power CEE (Got a new creatine coming to replace), AST multi, NOW ADAM, Dymatize Elite Whey (3 different flavors), Optimum nutrition gold standard whey (2 different flavors), Isopure whey protein isolate (2 different flavors), Vitamin C capsules, Vitamin E capsules, Joint Supplement, Just purchased Dymatize Energized Xpand.
I know I got a lot of different whey proteins, but I love the taste of them so thats why I buy so many of them. I really dont rely on supplements for much except to make sure I get enough vitamins.

These guys are right on about supplements. The basics are all you need. One thing I would add though is fish oil caps and green tea. Good natural supplements that are great for your overall health.
BTW, you got a lot of different whey flavors bro....which one do you like the best? I am partial to PVL gourment whey...kinda pricey, but damn good.

Here are my thoughts on my whey powders Ripstone.
Dymatize Elite Whey Butter Toffee- Awesome, One of the best tasting protein powders I have ever tried, I recommend everyone try this.
Dymatize Elite Whey Cafe Mocha- Awesome, Taste a little bit like coffee with a hint of chochlate, very tasty, If you like coffee then this you will love. Even if you dont you will love, its really that good.
Dymatize Elite Whey Berry Blast- Good, taste a little bit like a strawberry shake, its a really good taste and I recommend it, but not as good as the previous two.
Optimum Nutrtion Rocky Road- S***, I cant stand this one, it has way to strong of a flavor, When I first took a sip I thought I was going to die from the strong taste, I DONT recommend this one at all, even though some people do love it.
Optimum Nutrition Chochlate- Good, Im not really a big chochlate lover that is why I said it is just good, but it is a really great tasting chochlate.
Optimum Nutrition Chochlate Mint- Taste exactly like a peppermint patty, it is really good. I highly recommend it.
Optimum Nutrition Strawberry- Best strawberry flavored protein ive tried, which isnt saying much, but it is good, not as good as the previous two.
Optimum Nutrition Vanilla- Sucks, Way to weak of a flavor.
Isopure Dutch Chochlate whey Isolate- Good, Has a different kind of chochlate taste, it is a little weaker then ON'S, but it is still good none the less.
Isopure Strawberry Whey Isolate- Ok, I dont really recommend this one because it dont taste like strawberry at all, It taste like cotton candy.

Thanks for the whey reviews. I have tried Dymatize BCT and it is a staple....great taste. I have also tried ON vanilla and I agree with you....its nasty.
For your diet, everything looks great. The only thing I would think about is a little less protein in favor of more fats. Or keep the same amount of protein and just add more fats.

Ok ripstone, I had a feeling you were going to say I needed to increase fats because I also believed they were kinda of low.
Also I hope that this program will put muscle mass on, It just doesnt seem like enough volume to stimulate muscle growth just strength, But I could be wrong. What do you guys think? Right now my main focus is size and strength but im so damn small right now that I really need to pack on muscle.
