Liez, i'm drinking beer, eating pizza and just not giving a fuck.
Bro, its not like "this protein shake works for me, and this other one works for someone else".
MY first tip: Dont do this halfway, u wont get any muscles at all then. Go ALL OUT and learn EVERYTHING, how the body works and why we gain muscles and so forth.
Good tecnique (spelling???) over weight, ALWAYS. With that said, always try to lift heavier. I like http://www.simplyshredded.com/ , besides that I only read swedish forums and stuff.
Personally I prefer "lean gains", read more about it here: http://www.leangains.com/
Summer is already here, its gonna take you atleast a year to get results lolhaha everyone getting jack up for the summer :P
well im a beginner as well, at the end of this week ill have completed my first month in the gym
i got this protein, which is really good in rocky road flavor (i think its the same one @Nostrax uses) : http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrit...d+whey+protein
and im currently doing this workout plan (with other routines as well and im already seeing results) : http://www.muscleandstrength.com/wor...t-workout-plan
and some advice: dont try to do too much too quick you'll burn yourself out and when you dont get the results you were hopping for you'll get discourage and stop going to the gym, like my trainer says "this is a life style not a season thing!" (then he makes me do push ups haha fucking trainer)
Liez.
You get decent result within the first month if you do it right, after that you wont see any major result for a year.
Kinda depends on your genes and if you ever been /fit before.
I can slack and get pretty decent results after first few weeks, but I only get to the "base" stage of my musclebuilding, everything from there takes long time to build up, like you mentioned.
Yea u'll see results the first 2 to 6 months but if U'd like to reach anything in this sport u'll have to train over 4 years with a strong diet and a high intensity of your training, and be consistant!
Also like somebody said before, good form and technique above heavy weights!
Somebody took this one from me yesterday!

@iMike
Since you've just started I'd like you to check out these:
http://scoobysworkshop.com/
http://askscooby.com/
http://youtube.com/user/Scooby1961
It's pretty much the same guy. His website, his forum and his youtube channel. He's like 52 and his body is probably build better than any 25 year old's these days. o_O
The reason I'm mentioning him is because he got me into this whole bodybuilding stuff. D: And beside everything, his website/forum is completely free, anyone can share their opinion and there's not a single thing like "Order this and you'll lose 25 lbs in a month!"
And the community there is great. Just for example. I love XenoBot because of the community, there's no such thing with other bots and it's the same thing with these bodybuilding forums. bodybuilding.com is full of retards and that pretty much kept me away this whole time, I've never registered there, askscooby.com on the other hand is more like amateur bodybuilding forum, there's a lot of friendly people trying to help as much as they can, and of course there's a few retards as well like everywhere else.
And of course, I wouldn't mention all of that, if it didn't worked for me. o_O I've lost 27 kg (59.5 lbs) - pure fat- since January and now I'm off to bulk up. D: Of course I've quit Tibia since then, became vegetarian and later on even vegan, but that's whole another story.
And about supplements, I unfortunately am not so much into bodybuilding stuff yet, I'm just like you starting to get my head into this whole thing. xD

You couldn't be any further off. If this was bodybuilding.com i would neg the crap out of you right now.
OP, don't listen to this at all.
You will see gains and improvement consistently if you train properly and keep your diet in check. Dieting is key when trying to change your body. Your body is a reflection of what you put inside of it. There is no time frame on when you will see results and when you will plateau. If you train hard and hit your macros you will see results. There are stages where it seems difficult to continue gaining however this is different for everyone. If you are trying to gain, remain eating at a calorie surplus. Opposite if you're trying to lose.
I'm a health science major and ex-"ectomorph".
People who give you time frames are uneducated on this topic and should do a bit more homework.
As far as supplements go, if you dont have your diet in check there is no point for supplements. Supplements are exactly that -- a supplement. They assist your already good dieting habits. Dont take supplements and expect gains if youre eating mcdonalds and crap food (you can still see results but not as much as you would if you ate clean). Eat well, and take the proper supplements and youll see results. A protein, creatine, Multi-Vitamin, and Fish Oil are pretty much the basics. There are more supplements but these should get you started.

Nostrax is right. Form and technique are WAY more important than the weight youre lifting. This needs to be understood before doing anything. When you go to the gym, check your ego at the door. There will always be someone stronger and bigger. Don't try and show off in the gym, youll look like a tool.
Holy mother of god, if you'd spend 1 minute more in this thread you'd notice how serious i am.
And if this was bodybuilding.com i'd be laughing my ass off.
Cheerios!
