My dad is giving me a $300 dollar gift card for supplements for christmas. I plan on starting my first real true bulk in three weeks. I was wondering what supplements you think I should get with this. I could just get about 3-4 months worth of Optimum Nutrition protein. I kind of want to get protein, creatine and a preworkout supplement with this.

What would you guys get or what should I get?

$300 should get you a shitload of protein.

Just grab a bag of protein (like the ON 10lb bags), then get some creatine. Whatever money is left over think about trying to get a good whey isolate and some beta-alanine (or a supp that mixes the two or similar).

When you bulk you then eat all the food your Dad buys, so the supplements:
a) last a fair while
b) do what they were meant to do, supplement the diet.

Ok sounds like I will be buying whey protein. Just to let you guys know; I am a college student and was commuting to a branch campus everday but next semester I will be at the main campus which means I will be saving 200-250 dollars a month on gas which I am planning on spending that money on food. But with the christmas money I am planning on a big bag of protein and creatine and maybe also what Tim suggested.
