18 yr old suplement help

[jaytat]

My step-son just turned 18 and played varsity basketball in high school. He is 5'9" 160 pounds lean. Problem i don't want him t aking aas! He works out on regular basis, i gave him workout routine that he follows.
Questions:
What pre workout, weight gainer, protein, post workout and if anything else... I think if i show him some other guys opinion on what supplements are recommended he might listen to one of you guys. He sees me and wants the results i have...... But to young to take any testosterone. Any and all comments will be great and will be passes on to him

First and foremost he's raging with testosterone if he has no aspirations of playing pro sports he doesn't even need to consider AAS. Main thing for a kid that age is to eat. Eat every 3 hours.dont eat Taco Bell or mcDonalds either. Eat well balanced meals but with a higher number coming from protein. A good whey protein shake 2-3 times a day is great also. Thought I'd chime in before the young guys with no experience( but plenty of message board experience) starts giving you their favorite "whatever" No2-64px or Nitro-kickass or whatever the new fad is this week.

I agree w fit, protein, good food and hard training is all he needs.

I'm going to ruffle some feathers, but most supplements are placebos.

Ah heck, placebo, what you talking about they do everything for me and I don't even have to workout. Lol. I agree, diet and dedicated training will work wonders, supplements are just an extra something to achieve your goals.

Supplements have their place but their expensive( especially for a teen) and confusing at times. Can also be wasted if taken wrong and I know a lot of veterans that still take supplements wrong.

he just needs to eat and maybe some b vitamins for energy. id stay away from the sports supplements til he is out of puberty.

Food
Whey

That's one way to get them to learn, couple days of creatine squirts will teach them to chug water! Lol.
