what dude said. no need for all those supps. a caloric deficit and hard work in the gym will help you reach those goals.

Honestly, people dont maximize their workouts enough for casein to be even effective or make that much of a difference.My eating is on point when I'm focused. I like to cook. Just saying if I'm going to supp I would like to know if I'm on the right path. Also forgot Casein. I just can't do cottage cheese. Tried it and almost puked but I love Greek Yogurt.
Am I missing anything (goal is to lose weight n tone up) as far as supplements go.
Pre Workout (forgot the name but it's a lower stem one)
Optimum Nutrition Whey
Bcaa caps
Fish oil caps
Glutamine caps
Optimum Nutrition Multi Vitamin
Even got Twin Labs ripped fuel extreme.
What's the difference between On's Reg Whey, Hydro Whey and Hydro Builder?
Start with your goals..Im seriously looking to get back in the gym. I haven't lifted in a few months because of school and work. Well now im ready to stop the excuses and get back in the gym. Big question is WHERE TO START?
Figure out your goals, and start with the basics. Bodybuilding.com has a good amount of exercise lists for beginners.What would you guys recommend for a newbie? I don't like working out in crowded areas, especially since I can get insecure about the low weights I'm going to be starting off with, and I'm pretty lazy when it comes to driving to places to work out.
I thought about getting a dumbbell set and a bench and just working on some exercises in the garage.

If you dont like working out in crowds, get a 24 pass and go at night. Usually only a handful of people at mine after 10. Also makes it easier to work out since there's usually multiple areas that are free that I can work out in. I strongly suggest you get a gym pass instead of home sets; the cheap home benches are trash and weights cost a lot, and gym passes are cheap these days. You can get one for probably 30-40 a month if you look around. Also, going to the gym and seeing other dudes put in work can be good motivation.
Start with your goals..
What are they?
Bodybuilding.com is the best resource out there. There's videos for each exercise that show proper form, but if I were you, I'd start with simply exercises like bench press, pull downs, military presses, etc. that are easy to do. Squats are essential, too, but those need a proper form when lifting. Start off light with those and just work on form first and increase the weight when you feel comfortable.Figure out your goals, and start with the basics.

Thanks!
I'm also extremely unfamiliar with various exercises. Is there a site that lists exercises with illustrations or something? I don't want to hurt myself with improper form, and I need to understand what some of these exercises even mean (e.g. flies, military press, etc).
Putting on muscle and losing body fat at the same time is hard to do..I know I want to gain atleast 20lbs of muscle
Lose some body fat
Gain endurance
Im trying to reach peak performance, i feel sluggish lately.
well, if you're gonna invest in a bench and dumbells, you should invest in a power rack + free weights + olympic bar. idk man, I'd say just go to the gym and start doing whatever it is that your'e doing.What would you guys recommend for a newbie?

I say do Starting Strength or Stronglifts to get your lifts up and then move on to a split. Everyone starts out somewhere...
