eat eat eat eat....lift lift lift lift. if you want to gain muscle and get big, then you gotta eat like your big. i'd say aim for at least 3000 calories a day of good food, whole food preferably. Stick with the high protein, the chicken, steaks, and get complex carbs in you too (and a multivitamin). do that for a while, see how it goes. and if you dont see good results in a couple months, then look into protein supplementation and creatine.

I say use the protein drinks and creatine now. Especially after workouts is when you need these, whole foods are very important, however they take a long time top break down, usually a hour or more, your body needs nurishment now after a work out, not in a hour. Protein drinks are quicky digested and get to your muscles with in 30mins or so. Creatine will help keep water in the muscles, this will help in muscle endurance as well as the water will help flush out other things and keep the muscle hydrated.
