Why are you so quick to accuse? He is young. I gained 40 lbs my freshman year with the help of a weight gainer and whey protein. I just started lifting hard and it timed up with a growth spurt.

my question is to danthamansky and did not accuse him of anything was just asking

no worries man i don't mess around with testosterone boosters, hormones or anything like that for many reasons the main one is i won't feel safe with them, and secondly its money. food plays a big role for me, I'm eating 5000+ calories atm. only supplements i take are protein powder, pre workout, and glutamine. i tried creatine, didn't do wonders for me.

Good job man keep going .....just train hard but SMART to avoid any injuries...use good technique and proper form instead of just going for the heavy weights blindly.....And really all you need is some protein shakes ...but take them for a month and stop for 3-4 weeks and so on..you are still young you don't want to hurt your liver and kidney in the long run....most advertised supplements only work because it is all in your head ......and you are right creatine wil not do any wonders and in the long run i think it will do more harm than good. As for your food, get your calories from good food and avoid junk.
Good job

don't worry I'm still learning but I've acquired lots of information about everything already, I'm careful with everything i do, form is key before weight, i don't push it if I'm in pain unless its good pain if you know what i mean haha but ill be ok thank you though man!

This should be a sticky for every kid out there that post about doing a cycle at an early age. They need to SEE what you can do naturally IF you apply yourself. Great job man. Keep it up.
