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.

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

Re: 18 yr old suplement help

Thank you I'm letting him read this please keep post coming more he hears it from guys who been training for years I'm hoping he will listen!

[Lunchbox]

Work hard young man. You have something that 99% of us on this board wish we still had and that is... Youth!!

You can acheive all that you want by doing it naturally. Don't do what I did and wait till I was in my 30's before caring about my health and physique.

Wish you the vest of lick.. Now go hit it hard!

Re: 18 yr old suplement help

I would get him whey protein, creatine, vitamins, a nitric oxide, antioxidants. Make sure hes eating a good healthy diet and exercising everyday.

whats up, glad you made it here........back to the topic

yeah its going to help him the longer he stays away from supps, atleast til he is done growing. esp since he is 5'9. since he plays bball, he will need to be over 5'10 at the very least and im hoping he plays PG right? if so def stay away from sports supps and teach him how to eat right and train right. once he has offers or looks, the strength coach will tell him what he needs to succeed in college ball.
