Ok mr professional i got a couple questions for you if you dont mind, if you read this 7deadly curious to hear your input too
1)
What is your view on full body splits, I am having a couple issues with mine but it is too early to tell if I am getting bigger from the split or from the creatine i been eating/eating more food lately
right now what I am doing is MWF split with 2x10 per exercise, about 2 exercises per muscle group, doing a different set of exercises one day from the other so M and F will be the same stuff repeated, and W and the next M will be the same stuff repeated
and then on TTSatruday I do HIIT cardio and hit the muscle groups i didnt hit strait during the week(forearms, rotater cup/shoulder, abs, obliques)
I just came from doing a whole year strait non stop with maybe 2 weeks off the whole year of doing a 4-5 day split non-full body doing 1-2 muscle groups a day started out doing 8-12 reps for a few months, then 5-10, then 5x5 and wanted to do full body to switch it up for hypertrophy
But I am curious what you think of my routine and if you think full body might be overworking my muscles, and I may see more benefits from doing a split, also I am going to take a cycle of PH's soon I am pretty sure so would like to do something that would go good with those, right now I am way too strong for my size and just want to worry about hypertrophy and dont care about losing a little strength( i see guys much bigger then me all the time doing less weight they normally laugh when i grab 100 dumbells for bench and then when i actually do 8x they look pissed)
2)
Just looking to see what your view is on pro-hormones, like what brand you think is good to take(if any), if you think the negatives>positives when taken right(correct dosage+milk thistle+correct diet+routine), if you think they are just a waste of time and you lose the gains too easily etc...
sorry if you answered any of this already but i spent a bit looking and couldnt find
1) Full body splits are not bad..depends on how you have it set up..compound movements only.
2) you arent ready for a PH..you have alot of natural potential left. Diet is most important if you want to gain.
The side effects of PHs are unknown, but they're being illegal soon, they're infact REAL STEROIDS, not OTC stuff, dont think they're pussy stuff.

Question.. Does it really matter if I take a protein shake before bed, people say it is better but by how much.. or can i take it once i wake up in the morning then once again later on, would there be a significant difference if i took it before bed or will it really wont matter how i consume it
The reason behind taking protein before bed is b/c you're going to sleep for 7-9 hours, and be in a cantabolic state..AKA bad..you generally want a slow digesting protein, such as casein.
But yea, before bed would make a difference, say 11 hours w/o food, or 9? Which do you think is better?

I've been going to the gym for the past 2 months cause I am tired of being a skinny mother fucker. I've been just alternating upper body and lower body every day with cardio in both. Should I keep that up or add rest days?
2 Months is nothing, weight lifting is a marathron, not a sprint, it takes TIME to get gains. You need to be constant, but if for some reason you arent getting stronger, or gained any weight, your diet is what's holding you back.
