One school of thought I heard just before I fell away from hard core iron was that getting your leg muscles started first was important because it involves the largest muscles in the body and kicks off a tremendous bio-chemical response that floods the rest of your system with both energy and a higher level of recovery rate once they become used to the intial shock and move into regular hypertrophy.
Most supplements are already produced in the body in more than sufficient amounts - which is why 99% are pure garbage and a waste of money. You already have a pharmaceutical factory that you were BORN with...
get the essentials, don't cheat on recovery time, change things around once in a while to keep your workouts interesting, and once in a blue moon have a "WILD DAY" to see how much you can safely lift...
I always thought "wild days" were fantastic for staying motivated!

Umm -
I've heard ab developement should be done continously in moderation. My own experiences in trying to force advancement on an incline situp bench with weights caused severe overtraining that cost me so many weeks before I healed back up that everything I did accomplish was long gone by the time I could work them again.
You can do them every day, but don't overdo them. And I would never train them the same as i would biceps or something (higher weights constantly, and fixed sets and reps in as many ways as possible).
Remember that no matter what freeweight exercise you do the abs are probably periferally involved in some way. So they are not only being worked at the same time, but are tied into many of the other things you will want to do.
Don't spend a month in pain to learn that, listen to your body! It will tell you how much is enough.

NOTE: My routine was to throw them in between other exercises while waiting for a bench or to give me an extra minute or two before a next set of something. This was on every exercise session.

Good words!
Have you looked at Warehouse Sport Sales?
I always thought they were the best, especially if buying as a group:
http://WarehouseSportSales.com
Long ago, they were the only place I could find amino's from "Anabol Naturals". Dave Drapers page has them now. They're about the only pure aminos you can get. And if they're not pharmaceutical grade they are a waste of cash.
- As in absorb instantly and make a noticeable difference...
They are not "HORSE TABLET" sized either!!!
PS: I noticed BulkNutrition does not even list them as a manufacturer - you might want to checkout WSS
