    Probably do. But stick with meat and potatoes. Much safer.

    Yes of course.it's good to have a high protein diet though but no harm in giving yourself that extra boost of glutamine etc.. to speed up muscle repair.if you're looking for an all in one(whey protein,glutamine,all your branch chain amino acids and creatine) i hear 'maximuscle cyclone' is one of the best for bulking up although it's not that cheap. Heard a cheaper version of all in one is 'muscle milk'.And also if you're taking supplements it's also good to take day after training as muscles are still repairing and need the proteins etc. to build.

    Yes it does, but you can get the exact same benefit from eating a protein filled meal after exercising. Lean meats, beans, vegetables, whole grains, things like that and you won't have an issue.
