Along with yur regular “healthy diet”, Try proteins shakes. I make mine with orange juice, fruited yogurt and either fesh banana or strawberries.
Try Pat K formula. I always just ate Balanced Meals with a few Snacks in Between.
First off, you need to watch your weight so that you don’t become too skinny (your BMI is currently 19.2, so you’re on the lean side of healthy.)
At 14 your body is still developing (have you hit puberty yet? You should avoid trying to ‘bulk up’ too much before you do as, when you do, the surge of testosterone will begin to bulk you out anyway. I certainly *would not* recommend that you purchase any of these so-called ’super growth’ supplements; 95% of them are nothing more than snake oil and, of the 5% that are proven to work, they shouldn’t be taken before you reach 18, as the ingredients can interfere with your body’s natural growing processes.
I’m a little curious how a 14-year-old can afford a gym subscription – and be thinking about muscle enhancing supplementation – paper rounds must pay about 100 times more than they did when I had one!
So, no. What I would recommend you do, however, is have a long chat with the manager and/or head trainer down at your gym. They should have a sports science degree and, preferably, a sports nutrition diploma as well. They would be the best people to advise you.
You’re 14, you’re young, don’t try to push yourself too hard. And don’t EVER, EVER, EVER, be tempted to try anabolic steroids – they are dangerous enough in the hands of those who *do* know what they’re doing – in the hands of a very green 14-year-old – well, it’s ******* Alley.
Personnally, before training I like to eat some oatmeal with milk. Some guys say that this is no good, but it worked out for me, and it gives you energy for training. After training I always drink a PW shake, containing 40 grams of WHEY protein and 80-120 grams of dextrose.
This is what most of the guys do, and even you can do it in my opinion, it doesn’t matter that you are 14 years old, whey is not proven to be harmful in any way to kids.
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
