dude its just a protein shake. relax. there is absolutely nothing wrong with him drinking them
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?


It's just protein, nothing is going to happen. He probably takes creatine too, nothing wrong with that either.
Protein shakes are ok for anyone, but I agree with you high school kids need not waste money on supplements.Originally Posted by 99hawkins

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??
To be honest, if I set time in a corner to drink my whey shake after working out, and a man just came up to me to ask me my age, I probably wouldn't have been as nice as the guy you asked.. It's insulting to ask someone their age in this kind of circumstance.Originally Posted by 99hawkins
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.


I don't use creatine, but only because I don't want to pay for it. I take whey sometimes though. Protein is not some chemical that's unsafe, it's found in almost all food. Creatine is something found in meat, it's ok for a child to eat meat isn't it?Originally Posted by 99hawkins

You speaking as if protien was a drug of some sort.. this thread is ridiculous. if it was a hormone replacement or something along those lines I can see your ocncern, but its protien!! should he not eat chicken and other meats too, is he too young for that?Fair enough.

I dont think no fourteen year old kid should be taking creatine.Originally Posted by ihateschoolmt
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!

yes, there is no difference. the human body can not differentiate between nutrients derived from a pill or a food item. same goes for protein(s) etc. the body can not tell the difference between amino acids that are derived from a piece of meat or a powdered protein supplment. the body doesn't know and doesn't care.Originally Posted by god hand
