First of all i would like to thank this forum for all the knowledge i have today on fitness.It was really a huge help from me reading tons of stuff here. From 148 down to 134 pounds i am quite happy on the way i look now.My goal is 130 and my height is 5'8...=)

Well i recently bought food supplements because i want to build muscle now after taking out the fats, my goal is to have a lean beach body type heheh....
I bought whey protein powder and a bottle of amino acids...Question is

1. When do i take whey and amino, after workout or before workout..? are there any side effects on this products?

2.I recently changed my routine to a 6 day split workout
1= Chest Biceps
2=Shoulder triceps
3=back legs

2x exercise on each body part per week,
My last workout routine is MWFS- Whole body

Which is more effective? I had more body pain on my new routine, is that pain necessary for muscle growth?

Pain or soreness? Pain is not good.

Whey protein is best taken after lifting as it supplies the body with fast absorbing protein.

The key to adding muscle will be lifting heavy!!!
