Gino ,
The "special" bars that health food stores , are supposedly a bit better , but normal chocolate bars give similar results . It's allwais good to stay as informed as possible , so I encourage you to research the subject some more , as I only need to know inside out the contents of the protein shake , but as far as I know ... one Twix at the end of your workout should be great
But don't forget , on top of that , try to eat 5 - 6 meals a day especially the day after a workout . And don't workout all your muscles at the same time , separate your body in at least 5 workouts .
Once again knowledge is key , so study and learn what your body needs and ( with the right discipline and knowledge ) u'll be able to achieve whatever you want .
anywais i'll get back to talking about cars , and bitching now

Ive always questioned how long to work out for... I heard that you should only work out for about 45 mins on a certai part of your body and that will help you out... What do you have to say about this?

darknight nutrition is something i got into a while ago , when hitting my middleage crisis in my late teens early 20's
I think it's a very good subject to know stuff on , especially since nutrition has a big role in the quality and well beeing of one's life .
Ginolicious ... You should setup a schedule for yourself , that you can do weekly or at an interval of a few days . Separate muscle groups the way you like it , just make sure that you allow your muscles enough time to rest and grow . So for example if you do Back today , don't do Shoulders tomorow which would involve the rear delts and traps which might allready be in pain from the Back workout . Try to see what exercises hit which muscle groups in your body and plan them best . ( Ideally if you REALLY want to grow , try to separate all muscle groups in 5 - 6 workouts and complete such a cycle in 3 days , 2 workouts per day , then rest 2 days , then do the cycle again but once again , vary the weights , intensity , exercises , tools you use as your body will get used to monotony and u'll stop getting results )
As for the period , i'd say start with 15 sets per muscle group each set of 6 - 12 reps . Make sure you vary a lot , the type of exercises and the weight ( less weight more reps more weight less reps ) , because if you do the same chest exercise for 2 - 3 weeks your chest gets used to beeing hit in a certain way and you simply ... won't get any results . As you start growing muscle and your body gets adjusted ( you will see that you will be sore for a lot less ) increase gradually to 25 sets . Also of course , try to go to bigger weights every 2 - 3 weeks .
Oh and one thing I forgot to mention . Make sure that in between sets in a muscle group you don't allow yourself more than 1 minute rest time . I see many guys that do a few sets , then they see a buddy , and they go , and they talk for 10 minutes , then they do another set , then talk for another 5 minutes and so on and so forth . This will put a big stop on your progress .
