Taking Supplements for weightlifting, need help

[BirdyBirdMan]

I am on a weightlifting program not bodybuilding and obviously weightlifters don't get as big. I want to maximize my size and get ripped as much as I can from it though. Would taking these get me really big or what?

> Before:
> Whey Protein Unflavored
> Vitamin C - 500mg
>
> After:
> Vitamin C - 500mg
> Protein Shake
> 5 grams of creatine
> 5-10 grams of glutamine
>
> 1-1.5 Hours Later:
> Protein/Carb Meal from Food
> Multivitamin

Thanks

Those ???supplements??? can help but what really determine if you get big or not is your diet.

 

[BirdyBirdMan]

Is this ok? This is what I have been doing, tell me if you think I should add or subtract something.

Morning:Bagel, orange juice/milk
Lunch: 2 sandwiches, fruit and vegetables, water
4:30: Protein shake
5:30 dinner: usually a big meal, steak, pasta, etc
Snack: fruit


Thanks

Well for starters refer to the sticky under the diet section.

Jsut some observations:
-need to have a more balanced diet
-more healthy fats
-more protein (none in meal one other than milk)
Breakdown of meals:
1: carbs, carbs, protein/carbs
2: carbs, protein, carbs, carbs
3: protein
4: protein, carbs
5: carbs

I dont see a fat anywhere in there. Must add more healthy protein as well.
See sticky.

Remember that while you are still growing and you still are...NOTHING replaces food. Eat right and that will help tremendously. Good luck!

-dont screw with your natural testoterone producers or you may have bad side effects later on in life
-use your natural hormone to make some amazing gains while its running like it is

What do you mean? Are the supps he's taking at the moment affecting them?
Or did you just mean stay away from prohormones?

 

[J'Bo]

i dont know what supps he is taking right now.
i wouldnt suggest taking any supps at 16.
food is the best way to make gains at 16.

all i am taking is protein shakes and bars. should i get creatine also or multivitamin also?

i wont take any of that weird stuff like the hormones
