What Bagger said...and research post workout nutrition. Some guys go hog wild with protein to keep a positive energy (nitrogen) balance, and forget about the bodies' favorite fuel. Your enemy is the catabolic hormone, cortisol. I have learned that carbs are just as important as protein for two (at least) reasons. # 1 for the sake of glycogen stores that you will need to fuel intense work outs # 2 to help insulin levels rebound after an intense workout. Apparently insulin is as influential as testosterone in the muscle building business! A key for me is taking a complex carb drink after a workout (I use Twinlab's Ultrafuel) then I sip on a whey protein shake within an hour of the workout.
As for creatine...make sure you drink loads of water! I have heard that it works well for those willing to train with intensity. I get my creatine from cow corpse!
