When I was in shape a while back until my wreck, I took EAS supplements. The bottom line is it will cost you but I think the benefits far out weigh the price. It's really just up to you and how bad you want to do this.

I took Myoplex Plus, Betagen, Phosphagen HP, Creatine, Taraxaton and BCAA'S. One of the keys to building new muscle is to have plenty of rest at least 8 hours so that your muscles will grow and drink plenty of water.

Also don't over train in one area, you'll be defeating the purpose. Make a program that you can go by like cardio in the morning and weights in the evening etc...

Train the lower body one day and upper the next, that way the worked section will have time to rest and begin to grow while you work the other areas. Trys, bys, lats, glutes, legs, arms, chest, shoulders etc. You may want to make a schedule.

You may want to consider a manual also, I bought one many years ago and still have today the Arnold encyclopedia of body building when he was Mr. Olympia

It's a huge manual with different exercises and ways to train with weights for building regular muscle and also to get ripped and put size on.

All kind of pictures that demonstrate diffrerent techniques on how to put on the mass. It's been out a long time and I think it's still the best around. However, there are plenty more manuals around to you can chose from.

Depending on your age and weight to, thats a determining factor also. I once worked out with a kid that weighed 120lbs and wanted to bulk up to 200 lbs, so you can imagine that took some time.

He became a meat and potatoes man overnight, loads of protein and complex carbs. But if you are diabetic that will hamper things with the carbs. If you do shop for supplements though, don't go to GNC or the mall stores. You will get ripped off and pay double or triple what other places are.

I have bought EAS Myoplex for $29.95 a box online, you won't get that at GNC for that price. You may also want to look at
Bodybuilding.com - The Future Of Bodybuilding! Huge Bodybuilding Site or Tim Belknap | IFBB Pro Bodybuilder - Bodybuilding muscle show pro contest winner: AAU, IFBB and NABBA.

Tim Belknap is probaly the most popular body builder that is diabetic. He won lots of contests back when he competed. I am sure you can search his name and all kind of stuff will come up.

Hope that helps in a small way. BTW, I noticed on your bar it states you're banned. I hope I did'nt just put a useless post up. Geezz.
