Supplements???
Some swear by Glutamine, I have never seen anything negative about it so that may be a good option. Creatine is another, some negative press but more positive, seems be make some people feel bloated. I do not use anything but extra protein and Q-10 since surgery. I will most likely add Glutamine (And maybe creatine) after muscle gains slow; but that has not happenned yet so I am just doin what I am doin until it changes.

7 weeks into the workout and you are already looking for a magic pill Sorry, no shot cuts to gaining muscle mass You don't need anything right now. Just lift...recover and do it again. After months and months .....and a few plateaus, you will come to a point that you need supplements to take yourself to the next level. At that point, you can try the stuff Earl recommends....Until then, just pound the protein. Based on your weight of 209 lbs, you should have 209 grams a day. The extra protein will help far more than supplements. Good Luck and come back and tell us how you're doing.
