Perfect Bodybuilding Supplement Package?
Here's the thing. I have been in-season for basketball for multiple months now, and have maintained my strength well during it just eating plain, healthy food. But, in about three weeks, are season will end and I want to go straight into a muscle-bulking mode. The only supplements I have used to date have been loads of powdered milk and a whole bunch of protein-plus powerbars (24g protein, 5 g fat per bar and delicious). Yet, I want to start this off-season off right, with all the right supplements, multi-vitamins, everything. I consider myself a very dedicated bodybuilder and want the best of the best (at a somewhat cheap price - I'm not rich). MRP's, post-workout shakes, multi-vitamins, creatine - I need your recommendations on them all!

MAX. Q
by Howard Balzer
"Roughly one minute after the space shuttle launches, it must withstand a condition of extreme force known as Max Q. Mission success demands that all systems perform at the highest level.
In life, Max Q demands the same commitment to success. It requires choosing greatness, personally as well as professionally. It depends on balance, passion and courage and the wisdom gained from adversity. It is an outcome as well as an attitude."

there is no perfect bodybuilding package, if there were the person that invented it would be a multi-billionaire!
you say you want to do everything right, so I assume that you already have a "perfect diet" and training routine? If not get that in order first, then worry about the supplements.

I wouldn't say that my lifestyle, diet, and training are perfect, but I feel they are right in sync with what I would like to achieve for my body. I'm getting around 3700 calories daily (broken into 5 to 6 meals), at least 150 grams of protein (I weigh 145), and have excellent workouts. My body is improving. I can actually see the changes made in the past year. It's just that I want to get a new boost coming into this off-season, and I would like personal opinions for various supplements. So, if you have one, please share it. I'm open to any ideas.
