let me just say this what im looking for is to be able to look more "cut" while also gaining muscle size...can i acheive looking more "cut" by doing the whole whey protien thing + creatine...should i get some hydroxycut to help out?
5g of creatine is enought for one day and mix it with whatever u want.
Dont bother with hydroxycut. It just makes your heart beat race. Remember they are called suppliments, and if you use them before you have a really good lifestyle then they will have a negative effect.
if your diet and workouts are 100% perfect you will have a really good body, only after that should you use suppliments to aid you.
Hydroxycut may give you an extra 5% weight loss. so if your doing it well then your working at 105% which is great, but if your only working at 30% then an extra 5% wont make much diffrence.

Perhaps ur workout is not very strong.
Or you havent been eatting properly.
i understand that...this is why im asking about the protien and creatine...and i've also tweaked my diet..it's hard to get a good diet in when your family doesn't cook though...i've been trying my best to get out and buy my own stuff and cook it though..so yea..it's being tweaked
and show us your diet.
cuz without enough protein, carbs and fats, you won't have the building blocks needed to pack on lean mass.
get diet on target, and then make sure you're training in the hypertrophy range (8-12 reps per set, 3-4 sets for compound exercises), and plenty of rest & recovery...and you should grow.
