a

Should I be concerned about my creating intake? Kidney failure?

yes, many athletes over do it, and dont hydrate. whenever you take supps, they will stress your liver and kidneys

He is still at least 7 years away from even considering AAS.

When I was his age I jumped up 20lbs of lean muscle in 4 months (yes I once was lean n mean lol) by just training hard, eating like a horse, creatine mono, whey protien, and bcaa. If he decides to take creatine just make sure to tell him he needs to drink enough water for his piss to stay clear at his weight that should be just about a gallon a day. Also make sure he knows he needs to drink it throughout the day not just chug it or he'll just be in the same boat as not drinking enough.

creatine is a salt, so with sodium intake you need an increase in water.

Yeah at his weight though about 1 gallon should be enough water depending on activity level as well of course. You want to drink enough to piss clear but with a tiny hint of color because to much water consumption isn't good either. Like for me rite now without taking creatine I drink 1 1/2 gallon of water including the water during training and that's enough to piss almost totally clear, while Im creatine I need 2 gallons.

I had gone to the hospital before for something (I forget what) and they ended up keeping me for 2 days because they thought my kidneys were failing because my creatinine (yes that's spelled correctly) levels were 3.7 if I remember correctly. I told the doctor I was taking creatine and he said it was probably that but wanted to make sure, my levels came back down under 1 in a couple days. This was at the tail end of 3 months of 10g of creatine a day. Doc said as long as my water consumption is up I'd be fine to keep taking as I had been. He also said most people that have kidney issues due to creatine either already had a pre-existing kidney issue or don't consume enough water.

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

lots of protein, calories and a good workout program is what he needs to grow

helpful supps along the way would be
protein powder
good multi vitamin
creatine
fish oils
^^all above one can get from diet though to be honest
