so if you had to choose only 1 supplement to build muscle, what would you take?

good whey protein. everything else is 99% marketing bullshit about HARDCORE XTREME 100% NANOMOLUCULAR SCIENTIFIC RESULTS and 1% real.
buy a giant batch of protein from trueprotein.com and that's all you'll need. Have one whey shake a day, but get all of your nutrition from real food. Eat lots of greens, lean meat, eggs and chicken breats and DO NOT cut carbohydrates. Heavy lifting diet = 1 gram per pound of bodyweight of protein a day. 200 pound man eats 200 grams of protein, etc etc.
Eat 6 meals a day, balancing calorie numbers based on your current weight and goals. Want massive muscles? Prepare to drop lots of cash on food. I'm 190 pounds, eating around 3,200 calories and maybe 250 grams of protein a day. Carbs vary between 250-600 grams a day, and in the gym five days a week, lifting every time.
If you want to build muscle, you have to eat like a monster, but you have to eat the RIGHT things. supplements, with the expection of whey protein, are bullshit.
