Also, when you sign up, you'll have access to a nutrition guide which will give you info. on how much to consume daily(i.e. calories, protein, etc.). Hope this helps...

Then, take them again in a few weeks. You could also judge by the definition you begin to see. Like someone said earlier, more days isn't necessarily better. Concentrate on good form and lift hard. Good luck and keep us updated.
