Lifting Supplement Advice

Whey is not really a supplement and just a protein source. If you can afford it you can take some, no harm done. If you hit your daily protein intake by other means, you won't see any benefit.

Many wheys are total shit (taste like puke or hardly dissolve). I always try a small package first.

At 18 you should just lift consistently with good form and eat a lot.

I work in an auto parts warehouse, so I lift all day. I eat tons of red meat and carbs, then supplement with whey protein powder from GNC. I haven't tried anything that tastes horrible, but some of their powders mix better than others.

Are you just asking about whey? Of course you should be taking whey. You should consume your body weight in grams of protein a day (175lbs = 175g protein). It is hard, and expensive, to consume that much protein from food alone so you generally need to supplement with whey.

Creatine is practically mandatory as well.

Quality of protein is important as well. check out the "best quality" section on this website. They do lab tests for protein purity and quality. https://labdoor.com/rankings/protein

If you think it will improve you, then yes. If not, then obviously no. Whatever your decision, you must make it and then you must stand by it.

At the bare minimum. .shoukd be ingesting 1 gram per pound of bodyweight of protein daily. Creatine will help recovery as well.

The most effective way is anabolic steroids, however I'd only start after you have at least 5 years of lifting experience.

Yes to the whey protein. I think though in general it's more important if your lifting regularly to make sure you have your diet under control.
