Newbie needs help making blends

Hello, I am interested in hearing some feedback about the blends I made below. I am a complete newb to supplements and bodybuilding in general so I want to make sure I get the right stuff before ordering. I would describe myself as a mesomorph with pesky fat pockets I am trying to get rid of so I want to keep fat content at a minimum. Currently, I have only taken optimum nutrition gold standard so I am hoping these custom blends will offer more performance. This site was quite the find! I love learning about all the different supplements.

Post workout

20% peptopro
25% super plasma
25% instant oatmuscle
30% HRS

Nighttime anticatabolic

25% rice olgidextrin
25% oatmuscle
25% victoria milk protein
25% whey protein concentrate or maybe biofresh.

I am not sure what blend I should for pre workout. I was thinking maybe something high in super plasma and hydrolyzed whey but I am not sure what other stuff I should put in it.

Any suggestions would be awesome!

Thanks

personally i try to keep things simple. pre..nothing, have eaten good all day and just don't feel i need extra before working out. pwo..something to induce pos. nitrogen state i.e. 520 and pepto. nightime..victoria milk protein. 10g of plasma added in every shake i have

If you are are a newbie to the whole weightlifting game, then you do not need to worry about pre/post workout drinks and protein before bed and all that jazz. You need to start with the basics first. What you need to do is assess your diet and then see how much food you are taking in fat/carb/protein wise and how you are distributing that food throughout the day. Then you want to strip out the bad foods and incorporate a protein shake or two, something like an MRP, and concentrate on your workouts.

If you are just starting you need to understand that this is a lifestyle we live. The most important thing for you to do is to develop a baseline. That means you will have to stick with this simple plan for long time, I'd say at least a year or so. The point being if you try to much and change to often you will never know what works and what doesn't. Most guys take a long time to accumulate the knowledge of what works for them especially because what works for one might not work for another. Once you develop your baseline and are in tune with your body, you will understand the subtle differences between taking CFM Whey as opposed to a Casein and you can really get into customizing your proteins as well as your workouts.

If you are looking for a protein, I'd go Penta Pro. Try that for about a month or two and then switch to something like 100% CFM Whey for another month or two and assess the difference.

I also recommend going to a site like DaveDraper.com He'll give it too you straight without trying to sell you a product.

Fascinating, maybe I will just get a few lbs of penta then. My problem is getting the right diet on a daily basis so I would assume it would benefit me to get something with both carbs and protein. I know a lot of people take their carbs separately which is not a bad idea, I just thought it would be easier to have a mix. I want to get as much as I can from every workout so that is why I was interested in high performance supps but I think you're right, I should probably try each one separately and see how it affects my gains.

Thanks for the info.

your postworkout is a hard-core formula and taste is going to be wacky. But it might not be too bad. but that is a bad ass formula.

20% peptopro
25% super plasma
25% instant oatmuscle
30% HRS

Second formula is fine to.

Once again taste isnt going to be the greatest but the quality is very good.
