Trying to bulk up, see if I'm on the right track

[Dr.G]

^^^^ first i don;t think you are a hard gainer, you are lucky you don't gain fat easily. you are still 21 and one year of training is just barely the beginning..so being impatient at that point is totally illogical. i understand your temptation, back in my time there was no internet and thus no temptation to use steroids. the easy way is always tempting and the promises supplements advertise are always tempting and the internet is being used skillfully to advertise and cast such temptations. you will not find any bad thing about a new product because whoever is advertising for it is gaining profit from that.
one year of hard training is nothing, bodybuilding is a lifelong commitment, you should not mess with your system at that young age you will surely regret it and i can assure you you can get better results without any substance at this point. you should not think quick results, you should enjoy your workout ,,,,,,results will come.
i am 52 right now and i stopped taking all kinds of supplements a year ago , i just take vitamins from time to time and follow a very healthy diet,,,,and let me tell u that i feel much better now than ever, and at my age i gain muscle still as if i am 25.
i have nothing to gain or lose myself by giving you advice but all i can say that you should never put your hopes in substances, there are no shortcuts as simple as that. the secret is patience and enjoying your workouts + a healthy lifestyle.
YOU ARE STILL FAR FROM PEAKING come back in 10 years .
and anybody pushing you to go for any kind of steroids is not your friend and neither somebody you should look up to.
good luck

Stupid Statement

You continue to prove that "thinking" isn't something you do well when it comes to processing information.

Rdub9281 is obviously a hard gainer. There's NO "thinking" (meaning guessing about it).

Supplements

While most of the supplements advertised over promise and under delivery, some supplements actually are effective.

However, you tend to throw them all under the bus and into one category.

"I can assure you you can get better results without any substance at this point."

You are either naive or just an idiot. I going with the latter.

Hypocritical

You base taking supplements and then you state that you "take vitamins from time to time."

Now there is an oxymoron.

With that said...

I am not a proponent of an individual at a young age, 21, taking anabolics.

How does everyone feel about animal pak?

Paying For More Than You Get

I don't see much value in animal pak. If you are consuming a high calorie diet, as your are, you going to obtain the majority supplements in it.

Supplements That Work

1) Creatine. Cheap and the majority of individuals obtain good to great results.

2) Caffeine. This a pre-workout proven winner and it's cheap.

Pre, Peri, and Post Workout Beverage

A huge factor in increasing muscle mass is taking something before, during and after you training.

Some type of whey/casein blend with a simple sugar (Dextrose and/or Maltodextrin).

Chocolate milk has been show to be an effective beverage.

What about their test?

Guessing Game

Prohormones are a bit of a guessing game. You really don't know what you are taking or what to expect.

No matter the brand, they have a minimal effect.

In other words, they you pay more (money) than the get back (results).

The question you need to ask yourself before buying is, "Do you feel lucky?"

If so, buy it.

The Real Deal

Anabolic steroids work beyond belief and are overall cost efficient. In plain English, the results you obtain are worth the investment.

The Down Side

1) Buying real rather than bogus.

2) The legal issue.

3) Knowing how to use them.
