protien. Take protien: about 1 gram per pound of body weight for maintenance, 2 grams for building, and drink lots of water.
Lift heavily for 6months. If you're still at it, then look into a ethel ester creatine. NOXlpode wouldn't hurt at the 6 month mark either.

2g / protein / lb ?
For a 200lb guy, that's a POUND of protein. Is that per day?!
Everyone's body works a little differently. I've never been much interested in supplements or more "engineered" products. My dad always used to tell me horror stories about lifters that were on roids and all the weird stuff it did to them. That has kind of scared me away from the whole "take this to make you stronger" product space. Personally, my biggest strength holdup is getting to the gym regularly enough, followed by not getting hurt. My elbows are both hurt right now from all of the work we've been doing on our new house so I don't know when i'll hit the gym next. It's been 2 weeks as of today.
I think if someone is a newer lifter the following things are a good start:
- get enough sleep
- eat enough meat
- don't smoke
- don't drink too much too often
- get in the gym regularly
- learn and use the right FORM, even thought you'll have to do less weight. you're supposed to be getting strong, not impressing people
(when someone throws 1 more plate on each side of the bench than they can actually handle, and their jackoff friend in a HOLLISTER t-shirt just deadlifts the bar off them for each rep, they aren't impressing ANYBODY)

I think the biggest mistake most lifters make is overlifting...
Most people seem to forget that muscle is built AFTER you lift. The lifting is the part of your routine that DESTROYS/TEARS the muscles, the "nothing" between lifting days is where you're actually making muscle.

2g of protien per pound of body weight from supplements and your food is really not that much. 3-4 2 scoop shakes plus a normal diet that has eggs/meat/soy/beans will get you there very fast.
'roids is a poorly used term to describe any number of things that people use to get bigger.I think it is misinterpreted and overused. If you don't know whats out there, 'roids is like boost. It means something, but many don't really know what.
Sleep, eat lots to get bigger, eat less to get smaller, lots of protien and water.
Overlifting <u>is</u> the best way to get hurt.
