I'm guessing you're wanting to do powerlifting, and not Weightlifting.
Don't buy supplements.
Learn to eat a proper diet instead.
Supplement companies will try to tell you over and over again how their products will boost your results.
But you will get just as good results, or probably better, from eating a well balanced diet where you avoid everything that has white sugar or fructose syrup in it.
Check out Nancy Clark's book:
http://www.healthcastle.com/nubook_sports.shtmlIf you want to boost your lifts, I suggest you contact USA Powerlifting:
http://www.usapowerlifting.com/home.shtmlYou can mail their webmaster Cardella (
t-cardella@usapowerlifting.com) for info on the nearest opportunity for you to train with powerlifters, and suggestions on how to get started with competing.
When training legs, squats and front squats is enough.
When training back, do deadlifts, rack deadlifts, and snatches.
When training arms, chest and shoulders, do benchpress and close grip benchpresses.
And train some abs twice a week too.
