Also, if you really want to get big, you need to get more protein! Shoot for 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight everyday whether you work out that day or not. Always get a decent amount of it within 30 minutes of your workout, and keep taking more throughout the day. Also, avoid Creatine, no matter what some of these other jokers might tell you. Tests still haven't shown whether or not it's safe, so it's best to avoid it for the time being.

actually, don't bother eating more protein, you probably eat more than enough already unless you're a veggie. if you want, i can find the place in the book that talks about it and quote it directly (the book being the American Council on Exercise's Personal Trainer Handbook) but you only really need about .8g of protein per pound of lean body weight, and most americans get more than enough already.
