i always have a protein shake before bedtime
is it ok to add them to this and eat them late at night?

i work out at the gym 5 times a week, apparently these also aid weight loss and promote muscle growth

thoughts?

Good evening all,

For the last month or so I have been working out, relatively three times a week at about an hour a trip or more. I usually do a couple of machines for everything, and run 1.5 miles. I have been using a whey protein mix, and its been working well for me. The only problem is I am getting bulk, but no real tone or definition. So, I decided to embark on my own 60 day program at the gym. I picked up some Pro Performance AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 and Mega Men Extreme Athlete Vita pack after some research and price comparison. Great products to help me, but I realize I must also have an optimized diet and workout program in order to get anything out of these products. So this leads to my current plans and my question. My current workout plan is as follows:

Pre-Workout(Mornings, before workout) :

Basic warmups of simple exercises like push-ups, side hops, basically everything the Army has ever taught me for warming up.

Workout(Shooting for 1.5 hours a day/7 days a week):

Start with Cardio, a nice paced run for 1.5 miles to start and hoping to increase as the workout goes to 2.5 or possibly 3. Alternate between focusing on my legs one day(Overall legs) to the next day focusing on upper body, while spending each upper body day doing an extra set of reps on a specific muscle group(back, chest, shoulders, etc). My current plan is 15 reps x 3 with near max weight. I have been doing 25-35 reps and I was told by a friend that was too many reps at too much weight – I wasn’t going to get toned. Free weights mixed with with machines.

Afterworkout:

Whey shake followed by simple stretches.

Diet:
My main focus of my diet is lean meat. Usually eggs or oatmeal at breakfast with fruit, maybe oatmeal or lean meat sandwhich for lunch with a fruit snack, and maybe a small dinner of turkey or chicken.

Yes, I know it was a lot of information but I felt like in order to get good advice, I needed to provide details of what my current battle plan is. My question is, looking at my plans – what do I need to change in order to optimize my workout program?

When it comes to Vitamins, supplements, cold medicines, pain relievers, etc. where have you found the best prices? I don’t want to shop online so I’m asking for your experiences with retail outlets.
Target? Walmart? grocery stores? Osco? Walgreens? Sam’s club? other?
I realize that there will be variables across the country and for different medicines but I’d like to take a survey of what your experiences have been with pricing. If distance were not an issue – where would you shop for these items?
