Best Muscle Building Workouts
I want to know what muscle building supplements (if any) work. I go to the gym four days a week, because that’s all i can go, and haven’t seen any changes. I don’t want to lose weight, i want to gain it. Anyone have any tips?

Try changing your workout routine to shock your muscles. Also make sure you try and get plenty of protein inside you within 15 minutes after your workout ie. a high-protein drink. Have a look at the maximuscle website, they offer a good range of products. I can personally recommend their product called cyclone, it does exactly what it says.

I’m 99% sure you’re problem lies with your calorie intake. You can gym 7 days a week until you’re blue in the face but if you don’t eat enough calories you’re gonna have little to zero results.
If you are of average height and weight, you need to eat 5-6 meals per day with 500 calories each (medium to big size meals).
Go to this website and use the calculator to determine the amount of calories you need to maintain your weight. Then add 500 to that number – that’s the amount of calories you need to eat everyday (even on your rest days) if you want to build muscle.
You don’t need to go to the gym more then four days a week and you don’t need to ‘shock’ your muscles, you need to supply your body with sufficient nutrients. It’s amazing how many people spend months in the gym without getting this basic thing right. Your muscles aint gonna grow if you don’t feed em!
