What are your views on kids using supplementation?
There is this 16 year old kid in our gym, he brings his whey protein shakes along with him. After he completes his workouts, he sits down in the "quiet area" and drinks the stuff. First time I saw it, I thought to myself...he's far too young for that, maybe he just looks young. So, I went up to him yesterday and asked him of his age (he was at it again) he said he was 16, nearly 17. Then I asked how he affords it (Lets face it, its not cheap, especially for a school kid) he said it's where his pocket money goes.
Now, maybe I'm just being cynical and old-fashioned here, but I'm wondering if anyone else on this forum frowns upon this? I certainly do. I was 19 when I first decided to supplement. |

I started taking whey protein, weight gainers and amino acids when I joined my first gym at 13.

Really? So it's not frowned upon? Surely if they are that young they should just concetrate on homework and sports?! I always saw supplementation was for the more advanced bodybuilder?

100% nothing wrong with it. I started taking weight gainers and whey at 14. Whey is good for you, nutritious, comes from milk. Would you be upset if he was drinking a lot of milk??

Also, I agree, whey protein is extracted from milk, so if you aren't upset about him drinking milk, then you aren't upset about him drinking protein. |

Fair enough. Just seems like they are in too much of a hurry. It's like a 6 year old girl wearing makeup - In such a hurry to grow up all the time.

I don't think it's too early at all if they're actually into bodybuilding, athletic training etc. I just think it's funny when people take whey when their diet's horrible to begin with, and they overtrain or only train their biceps and chest.

Do u know how much meat youll have to eat to get 5grams of creatine? 11 pounds! Dont be mistaken, theres always a difference when eat comes to supplements. Do u think a 100% Vitamin C pill is = to a cup of natural OJ with 100% vitamin C in it? Think there isnt a difference? During puberty a kid needs to do NOTHING TO STOP OR THAT MIGHT STOP HIS GROWTH! |
