    New To Supplementing

    I'm still in high school and I work out 4 days a week. I play football and Im trying to add a good 20 pounds of weight by the time next August rolls around. I really haven't tried serious supplementing and was wondering what I should consider to Increase siza and strenght. Keep in mind im still a young un.

    Here are some vitamins http://www.bulknutrition.com/?cPath=93&sort=1a&&page=1 Personally I use Apex.

    The main thing that you need to do is EAT. If you are allready taking protein and creatine, then your diet needs work

    You really don't need suppliments.

    Good food + the healthy doses of testosterone and growth hormone you have at this stage in your life naturally, in combination with a good training program will give you adequate results.

    What really makes one multi-vit better than another? I guess your standard drugstore multi is NOT what everyone is taking?

    Just the ingredients and what the multi contains. I think its BV has a lot to do with it too. All I know, is Centrum is shit.

    My problem really isnt gaining strenghth. I've only lifted for around 2 years so my strenghth numbers rise steadily and I haven't hit a tough plateau. but I really do not gain much weight. I was 185 freshman year and as a junior my weight is 205. I can see my body becoming more muscular but there isnt much weight gain.

    You are only 16 - give it time. Over the next few years your body (given the right environmental and genetic stimuli) will 'fill out' and the gains will come.

    Eat right, train hard and it will happen.
