(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)



Posted by: sportsfreak

I'm 15 years old and was wondering which supplements i should use to bulk up.


Posted by: naturalguy

It really depends on your diet but the basics are protein powder, multivitamin and creatine.


Posted by: sportsfreak

I have started taking some N Larger 2 would that be good?

Is there any side affects of creatine at an early age? Is creatine expensive?
Thanks

protien powder and a multivitamin are really all you need man, at that age you shouldn't concern yourself with buying supps, they are expensive and can be a waste of dough at any age, let alone 15. Worry about mastering your food intake, that is much more important to accomplishing your goals than supps are, believe that.

Thanks gr81

no doubt bro

When should i take the protein powder


Posted by: derekisdman

Take it in post workout and when you don't have time to fix a meal. I disagree natural guy, I would say the better basics would be protein powder, multi vitamin, and EFAS.

To me EFAS > Creatine any day.


Posted by: sportsfreak

Whats EFAS?


Posted by: gr81

I agree with that derek, EFA's are more valuable IMJO.
EFA's = Essential Fatty Acids, like ALA and CLA, they are good fats basically SP, you should read more into them, in fact look at the sticky at the top of this forum bro.

What about San's V12 I hear its a good creatine product?

Nothing much to use guy. Just take a good quality Milk/Egg Protein Powder. Take 2 servings daily alongwith a good multi vitamin mineral support either from LEF or Animal Pak or AST.
Your body will produce enough creatine and Testosterone at this age.

my advice is get on a good weight gainer! N-Large is decent stuff, anything with whey and maltodextrin is good for putting muscle on

after a year or so of lifting you can look at taking creatine... i think you should get used to lifting and make some progress without it first, because you will make good progress without it when you start out

once you get so far you need creatine to get that bit futher, creatine is the shit man! it kicks ass over EFA's IMO

protein supplements (weight gainers) will get you big, creatine will get you bigger! just make sure you train hard

peace

i would say watch out for nlarge it has alot of crap in it that will give you mass but alot of fat but at 15 your metabolism is probably real fast. i agree with test that you don't need creatine right now just a good protien powder if that i would just take in more food. supp become expensive especally at 15. just my 2 cents


Posted by: Antdan

Im gonna Disagree I think Creatine is good even though I dont take it I know this Boy who is 16 and he takes it and he has a Bench Max of 320 I saw him do it in my weight training class he takes creatine and protien shakes


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

creatine is natural... just get some pure creatine monohydrate and mix it with your gatorade after your workout... take like 10g glutamine before your workout and protein a couple times a day... along with EFA's and multivitamin, you'll get some nice results and won't be doing anything but fulfill your potential...


Posted by: derekisdman

So what? I'm sure you could easily find A kid the same age who doesn't take creatine that can lift that. There is no way creatine is better than EFA's - especially from a health & longtivity stand point. EFA's have a million and one advantages.


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

I disagree that EFA's will produce better muscle results than a good creatine product taken correctly

EFA's and creatine are so different, i take both, because I feel they are both very nice supplements...

haha!

ok ok, you win!

I dont think the kid at his age needs to be worried about creatine.

I also think that he needs to stay away with shakes with crazy amounts of sugars in them, because I just have this whacky feeling that the high amount of sugars that we have in our diet is partially responsible for diabetes, etc. A good protein shake, a multi-vitamin combined with a well rounded "real food" diet and a good workout routine and the kid should be set. He does need to make sure he is getting his Omega-3s though, as well as being important to the body, doesnt it also play a vital role in the mind?

http://www.omega-3info.com/generalhealth.htm

http://www.fatsforhealth.com/library...d%20Omega3.php

http://www.everybody.co.nz/nutrition/20jun03_omega3.htm

I think that Omega 3s are lacking in the average US diet... being that he's from Texas its a sincere possibility that this is also the case for him.

Anyways, I'm sure he'll do just fine without the creatine, etc right now... but a good protein supp would be great


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

it's not a matter of worried about it.. but it can be a nice supplement to get a bit of extra pump... i agree EFA's rule... but no one has given any reason why he WOULDN'T want to take creatine...

I'm not trying to be right anymore... i just wanna hear someone say something negative about it so I can post 5 pages of reasons why they are wrong...



Posted by: Eggs

Because for a 15 year old theres alot better things he can be doing with that money... like pimping for some women

Whatcha going to prove wrong about that?




Posted by: HoldDaMayo

it's sort of like i was sitting on a pair of kings and the dealer busts out a 21...

bleh... I'm going to win one of these... i swear it...

But Don't you thing, at age 15, his own body's creatine production will take a hit if he uses supplemental creatine.
I think a decent Egg/Milk Protein powder will be OK.

C'mon. N-Large is CRAP loaded with sugars. Most of them only like as it tastes good. ISS Research Gainers Matrix, Universal Nutrition Gain Fat, Beverly Intll. Protein and Dorian Yates Approved ProPeptide MBF are LOT BETTER!!!

ephedra free hydroxy cut for teh win!!
**sigh** (i'm never going to win...)


Posted by: Larva

sports freak how tall are you and whats ya weight?


Posted by: Tha Don

nobody ever put on 10lbs of lean muscle in a month because they took EFA's, but there may well be situations where ppl have managed to put on that sort of muscle fast with creatine

creatine is really hot stuff! you can't knock it

i can't wait to get back on it, it has a HUGE boost on my physical performance! and appearence

EFA's are important in any healthy diet but i think if you want to build lean muscle and strength creatine supplementation is a better option

thats just my opinion yo, obviously this kid needs to start off with a good training regime, good diet (with a protein supplement), and then add creatine once the initial progress slows

i reckon thats his best strategy, gotta take his time but creatine can be used to great effect, i wouldn't recommend it under 17/18 though

peace

Quiet you. How can you track what everyone in the world does?


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

he's got THE INTERNET!!!

He hacked every computer cuz he's a super genius!!


Posted by: sportsfreak

I'm 5' 10 150lbs


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

creatine will help you feel bigger and more pumped... EFA's will make you smarter so you make the right decision to buy creatine... hehe...


Posted by: ProtoFuze

Question on the topic, EFA's can help with gaining LBM? But don't you lose mass when you cycle off Creatine, and I for one would not want to take that for the rest of my training days.


Posted by: Tha Don

you will lose a little mass when you come off creatine, due to the fact creatine forces water into your muscles, when you come off creatine you don't get this, but the gains you make in terms of the muscle you put on and the strength gains will stay with you

you will lose a little size (due to water) and maybe lose the buzz, but from my own experience my progress did not suffer after a creatine cycle

peace


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

saying you don't want to use creatine cuz you lose some of the gains when you come off it is like saying i don't workout because I lose the pump I get not too long after working out...


Posted by: ProtoFuze

It's not jsut that buddy, I'm worried about interactions with perscription meds and I'm not big on cycling, I hate anything like that, anyways, I've heard some people have lost almost all their gains so don't have to be mockful over a little query.

ok im 15 years old I weigh about 130 im taking mega men(multi-vitamin), weight gainer 1850 and im taking NOS(off brand of NO2),ok i want faster results and I have been researching on creatine but alot of people i talk to say that its bad for your liver and your growth and when you stop taking it youll shrink back down so could someone please tell me if i should take it or not and if i should change anything up there^

not worth it man, i took creatine and PHs when i was your age which was a stupid ass move, if i focused on training and eating i would have been much better off, its not that im trying to be a health master cause im not at all but you really dont need it at that age, protien (whey) is the only supp i would buy, take a shake after your workout and your set. Multis also, but if you have a good diet your just gona piss em out anyways. Up your healthy cals and you grow like a mofo. Once you platue(sp) you can get into creatine and whatever else you want but just wait a bit


Posted by: jj_redick_stud4

ok so what should i eat? So what your saying is to get off of the NOS and jus concentrate on eating right. Also i get the NOS free so its not like im paying for it so could i just take it to take it or will it effect me in the long run?


Posted by: MillerMan

Concentrate on your lifting techniques and form...I'd say it takes a good year of lifting before you learn enough to start making big gains.


Posted by: jj_redick_stud4

ok so what your saying is that i should get off the weight gainer and the multi-vitamins and the NOS and i have been lifting for about 2 months hard but i have seen very little results and thats why im trying to find out how i could get better and faster results


Posted by: musclepump

Youth + Proper Lifting + FOOD = Growth

Supplements are part of the equation you don't yet need to add.


Posted by: jj_redick_stud4

well ok could someone give me a really good workout prog. so i can get a good work out in.


Posted by: drew.haynes

If you want to use creatine, I say it is totally safe, even at your age... but that is up to you. And no... creatine is NOT expensive... probably one of the cheapest supps you can use. But make sure you get your diet in order first... lots of protein and complex carbs. Tons of the complex carbs if you are like me and your metabolism just rages like mad and makes weight gain really hard. That would include oatmeal and brown rice. You can get a massive thing of oatmeal at walmart for like 2 bucks, and some brown rice for 2 bucks also. Tuna is a really easy protein source @ about 60 cents per 35g of protein (1 can @ walmart.. chunk light).

How much do you weigh?


Posted by: jj_redick_stud4

130
