When you say, "work off of", what layout do you have in mind?

Well my buddy laid me out a work out plan, pretty close to what I was doing just changed up the sets and reps through the weeks going 3x6-8 week one, 5x5 week 2, 5-4-3-2-1 in week 3, then doing a high rep workout in week 4. Working at 70-80% of my max. But I have to establish a max before I know what what 80% of it is.

You could use a 1rm calculator to give you an estimate and then adjust from there if either to light or heavy

I ended up using them for the deadlifts and squats, but I don't like maxing out on the day I'm working that muscle group.

Personally I take a pre workout and a recovery shake post workout. I'm not a big supplements guy.

I know people that swear by supplements, I'm just not putting "extras" in my body. But at the same time I'm not big into medication, flu shots, etc.

Ive heard same stuff as well. Test boosters, creatine all that jazz. I dont want it much less spend money on it. Protein is expensive enough

Even protein isn't a necessity, depending on what you are trying to accomplish. Your body only needs about 60g a day to function. Obviously more with the more active you are. But your body just gets rid of the extra protein.

I have taken creatine in the past. I don't know if it did a ton. I just eat.
 
I see well I think a preworkout will help since I wont be getting to the gym until about 6:30 pm

Eating is absolutely crucial and what you're eating is too. Eating junk will get you a fat ass and thats about it lol supplements are exactly that, they supplement when you can't get your daily goal of xyz. Eating will always be the most important thing as I've found out but supplementing can certainly make things easier in a pinch. I only take whey in my shakes and a multivitamin, all I need besides good food.

Took my first full day off yesterday since Christmas and today cadio was misery. Hated every second of it but lifting was great.
 
Just won an auction for some adipower lifting shoes. I think I've got all the equipment I could possibly need for some serious lifting.
 
Very nice pick up sir.

It's crazy, I was talking to my wife last night, and I brought up the 3800 calories someone was taking in. So i went my daily diet, and I'm lucky if I take in 2000 calories a day. 3800 is crazy!
