I have been lifting for 7 years so you might want to consider my advice.
If you are a new lifter (Less than 1 year in the gym) then I would suggest to avoid any kind of supplements right now.
Your best bet is to focus on only three things ( other than lifting ofcourse
)
(1) Eat
(2) Eat
(3) Eat
To the point where you can't get enough of it. Mark my words, you will grow the most muscle without any protein shakes, creatine or any supplements if your diet is good. When I mean good diet, i mean really good diet and eating these and in large quantities
For protein: Egg White, Chicken Breast, Beef. If you are vegetarian then it's going to be hard but it's possible so instead you eat daal (lentils), peanuts, kidney beans, etc
Carbs: 100% whole wheat bread, 100% whole wheat roti (tortiya), oatmeal, sweet potatoes, yams and brown rice.
Vegetable: I will leave that to you but some are brocoli, spinich, etc
You need fats too, good fats and whole milk, peanut butter, cottage cheese will get you what you need.
Now like I said, you need to eat these but in
Large quantity and I beleive that you get my point by now.
Furthermore, if you could just take my word and have trust on me, nothing will get you bigger and more muscular in short amount of time than this begginers training program. The name is Rippetoe Starting Strenght 3X3
For more information, look here on how to start this program.

I would suggest to wait a couple months to a year before you start taking supplements but if you still want to take supplements then
Nitro Tech = Garbage (Been there, done that and it does not work as good)
Optimum Whey (Very Trusted Brand) is what you need but make sure to get the 100% natural one. Do not take more than 40 rgams of protein per serving because your body can not just handle all that protein at once till you slowly get used to of it.
Thanks!,you seem to be an expert in this field
,I m taking supplements,I m thinking of Optimum 100% whey gold standard,heard its pretty good and also optimum's CGT-10 for pre and immediately post work out intake,CGT is creatine,glutamine and taurine.a friend has been taking and showed good results.
(I have been working out for more than 4 months now,regularly)
Any more questions, just ask and I would be more than happy to help you out.
