Supplements - maximizing workouts

I am currently intaking 5 grams of creatine an hour pre-workout. I also take GNC's Nitric Oxide maxifer pre-workout. After my workout I drink a shake with 20 grams of protein and 5 grams of glutamine. I drink 2-3 more protein shakes per day. One in the morning and usually one at night.

What supplements can I add to maximize muscle growth potential. I lift hard for about an hour everyday and eat regularly. I am about 5'7 178-180.

In addition what excerises can I do to maximize muscle growth. For xample I do cleans. Anything else?

I would appreciate any insight. Thanks in advance.

if you're using creatine monohydrate it is best to take post work-out.

I've heard that before but I also heard one should take it before a workout so creatine is absorbed into the blood while one works out....no?

multijoint exercises, compounds!!! Squats, Bench Press, Deads, Military presses, wide grip barbell rows...these make the body grow like a weed.

look, supplements are merely supplemental to your diet; to really grow, you need to have the diet spot on and the effective means to have your body grow-this means using the above exercises with the right foods. Supps are ok, so long as they work. But if you have shtty diet, or you arent pushing yourself in the gym as much as you should, you arent going to grow.

take 5 g pre workout (15-20minutes) and another 2-5g post workout with your protein AND carb drink. carbs post workout are very important and should be taken with your protein.
