Teens and Supplements The Big Secret



The simple answer? FOOD, as much as possible, all the time.



I see so many people from 15-20 (and even older than that) making the same mistake I did, and so many others in this sport. That mistake was spending far too much time researching and spending the little money I had on supplements. I'm not going to say they aren't worth it because there are plenty of decent products out there that can benefit you in the long run, but NOTHING is going to give you a pro body builder's physique any time soon. Sorry; like stated a million times before, there is no secret supplement, no matter what any company claims.



I can assure you, that you'll have the best gains you have ever had if you spend your research time on diet information, and training tips. . . once you have a good grasp on what that is (if you don't want to hire Wes or



You can succeed at realistic goals, and take your body much further than any 'Ultimate Pump Elephant Ball sweat' product ever will.



If you are not Benching 1.5x's (or more) of your body weight, squatting 2x's (or more), and deadlifting 2x's (or more) you need nothing more than Some:



Creatine monohydrate 15g, spread over 2-3 doses (Buy a kilo, it will last you a long time)

NOW's ADAM multivitamin

And Trueprotein's custom blend of 30% Milk protein isolate, 40% whey concentrate and 30% Whey isolate cold filtered



Truthfully, You can get away with less. Eat 5-6 times a day, with 50g of protein per meal and you can skip all of the above, but I know we all feel special when we take something so the list is there. Look at one of our stronger members on the board, DBCB. He put on a ton of weight and strength with minimal supplement use. Ask him what he takes and why (Don't actually, he'll hate you if you bug him ). Why does he take so little? Because he has other financial priorities i.e. college, and it doesn't take very much to go far from where you started.



That's it. Pretty simple. Do not take what so-and-so is because he got huge, do not Take What IA takes, or me or anyone else. Why? Because you are not he, nor me. You don't have the money, the hook-ups, the time and development that these others do. When you have put 50 pounds on your frame and 400+ pounds on your 3 lift total, come see me, I'll write up an entire supplement regimen for you. Until then:



STOP WASTING MONEY AND TIME- You do not need malate bonded arginine coupled with 15 sets of bicep curls. You're 17! Eat, lift, sleep, grow. Spend that extra $50-100 a month on food, it will take you much further. That's the 'Big Secret.' The End. What should you take, how much, and When?The simple answer?
