Firstly i have to ask why you have bought something that you do not know enough about, secondly, to answer your question we would need more info form you. what is your aim, your current size and current diet.
well sir Morba.
i am currently in a state of being unable to think..but you are right I don't have copius amounts of knowledge on whey protein.
I am doing gordy's training process in the sticky. But don't have that many weights at home, so am benching about 40KG, as well as doing bicep (bar) curls of the same amount.
3 times a week.
Diet consists of
breakfast - shreaded wheat and fruit.
Lunch - sandwich normally turkey/chicken with some water.
snack - usually ryvita or nan bread with humous or taramusalata.
Dinner - whatever is going really be it beef, pork, chicken, with rice or lentils. With beans or sweetcorn, or broccoli etc.
Some days lunch will grow into something similar to dinner.
Sometimes I will have crisps, and chocolates (a lot recently as i'm revising
)
And most of the time there will be a a few nights out on the town.
My Build.
5 8"
10st 11
Main area where fat is is on the chest and gut.
I'm intending to supplement the regime with some time on the rowing machine. Doing 3 or 4 200m sessions. see how I go, start slow and build up.
Was just hoping to take the protein after the workout, as quite often i simply have to wait a while to cook, so i'm eating 30mins to 2 hours after a workout.

thats a bloody hefty weight to be curling for your size.
tbh, i think you should concentrate on doing a full routine rather than a ouple of exercises with not much weight, at the same time move your diet into something resembling 5/6 meals a day, see how much natural protein you can consume normally.
think about having a whey shake (with water) right after your training, but thats about it for now. a 30g scoop should be enough to start with, followed by some carbs as soon as possible :]

i doubt he preacher curls 40kg at home, i dont know any people with only 40kg of weight who have a preacher station (ok he could be using an incline bench, but that would be dumbell rather than barbell).

.tell a lie its only 32kg 
sorry...thought those little weights weighed more!
Its just a standing standard curl.
i.e. http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Biceps/BBCurl.html
Anyways...
I shall do the 30g with a shake after. Thanks.
I do Gordy's full training schedule, except the skull crusher as it hurts my elbows too much. i try and keep them in and straight but just cannot handle it.
Any other tips guys?
As for 5/6 meals a day. I would say i could try but i really would be lying. I want a better body, but don't want to change my life too much.
I don't mind eating healthy. But it will be 3 main meals with snacks. i will try to make those main meals and snacks better.
Thanks

32kg is still hell of a weight to do clean reps with when you are only benching 40kg. fair shout to you :]
cant remember gordys routine off the top of my head, but have you tried bench dips instead of the skullcrushers.
Morba said:
See that's the annoying thing mate. I cannot afford a gym, and cannot find any cheap weights near me. So I cannot bench any more.
How much should I expect to spend on two 10kg weights?
That bench dip i will give a look at. Although with only a chair on wheels in my room...it could end up being fun. i'll have to get a dining room chair.

Two things we need to qualify here.....
First, a preacher curl is done on a preacher bench (or equivalent) and is harder than a standing bicep curl (during which you can use your shoulders, back, legs etc.)
Second, curling 40kgs is impressive if you're only benching 40kgs. I'd guess that most people would curl less than half their bench.
So in absolute terms 40kgs curls are not unusual but relatively it is impressive

No. tbh in general, being able to curl 40kg when you can only bp 40kg is pretty impressive.Sem said:

I haven't done preacher curls in years, don't like them. I probably couldn't do 40kg lol
