Need tips: Supplements for Building Muscle

Hi,

I'm just new here and I'm looking for some good recommendations for my planned supplements to take during my goal in being muscular after 9 months or before the year ends. See below for my body data and weight goal.

Gender: Male
Age: 28
Body Type: Ectomorph
Height: 5' 7" or 170.18cm
Fat percentage: 15-20%
Current weight: 55kg or 121.254lbs

My ultimate goal is to reach 75kg or 165.347lbs with 5-10% body fat percentage. I know it's impossible to achieve that weight for just 9 months or before the year ends but at most as close as possible to that. I already tried working out 4x a week for 6 months before without supplementation but only 1kg from 55kg to 56kg gained. I was following Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Size program that time but at the most part, only the exercise routines. I know I was lacking in the nutrition like the food I ate and with no single supplementation. See I'm living in a third world country and I was just a student that time with a very strict budget that supplementation is impossible for me to buy given how expensive they are.

Then after 2 months on February 2018 when I finally have some savings, I tried these three:

ON Gold Standard 100% Whey
ON Micronized Creatine
Mutant Amino

This is how I take them:

2 scoops whey per bottle mix with 1 tbsp. creatine and 2 capsule amino

I start mixing 2 scoops of whey with 1 tbsp. of creatine in approximately 1L of water. I drink half of it at night before I sleep and the other half in the morning when I wake up. On my workout, I prepare another mix of the same content and drink the first half together with 1 capsule amino and the last half after, with another capsule of amino. I don't take supplements on my rest days. In this case within 1 week, there's 3 days I don't take any supplement because I train 4x a week back then. Surprisingly, I notice a very significant result. I gained 3kg and a half (55kg to 58 1/2kg) in just 1 month of training and taking supplements. I was very amazed with the result. By the way, I was taking my workouts seriously and pushing myself everyday the same when I was working out for 6 months before. But unfortunately, I can't support my fitness lifestyle back then and in the end left me stopping taking supplements after that. Also, the gym I was working out has closed down and I can't find any other cheap gym nearby that I was force to stop also. I was still working out after that 1 month of supplementation for 2 months before the gym closed down.

After some months and I finally got a job. I want to start over again and this time there's no stopping me from achieving my goal. I just don't wanna do this just to get the body I desire and then quit after that. I wanna do this to get the body I desire and maintain it til' the day I die. I wanna live a fit and healthy life. So I hope someone from you guys could help me achieve my dream. I don't know any other expert help I can get other than here and I hope you'll be kind to me and very helpful too.

I was thinking while I'm still skinny today that I start of with these 3 supplements. Sorry for regulating only for 3 supplements at max, this is because I'm still on a tight budget and this is all I can afford for now.

For a starter, I want to gain weight as quickly as possible by taking much calories and carbs. Here are 3 of them:

Muscletech MassTech Extreme 2000
ON Micronized Creatine
Mutant Amino

I was planning to get the 22lbs MassTech Extreme so it will last for 2-3 months and then go on in building lean muscle by replacing it after with ON Gold Standard 100% Whey. The same mixture as before but rest days will be included. I will also add on some eggs about 6 eggs a day.

If you have a better/cheaper recommendation which has the same effectivity then please leave a response. I would greatly appreciate your help.


Thank you :)
