So is there a weight gainer supplement that you would recommend?

I am completely confused. How have I indicated that I know it all? I must have missed something. P.S. please enlighten us with what supplement (if any) would assist weight gain other than protein. Understand that by saying weight gain, were are refering to muscle mass and not just putting on extra fat.

Are you asking me or oiler? I have posed the question about supplements for my son whose attributes I have posted earlier in the thread.

Hate to break this to you, but if you are not providing your body with the building blocks it needs to grow, no amount of work is going to provide the results you are seeking. While I agree that proper diet is the best way to naturally achieve results, it is not feasible with the current schedule of work and activities. In a perfect world we would all have personal chefs that could prepare meals to meet our dietary needs. If I have indicated that I was looking for the miracle pill to gain strength without work, I apologize. I just want to make sure that all the building blocks needed for muscle gain are provided.

I don't think that anyone is asking for a pill that will do everything for them without any work. My purpose would be for supplying the body with the things it needs to maximize it's potential. Lazy, maybe, in not willing or making the time to prepare the meals that would provide the adequate vitamins and proteins needed.

He's going to be a freshman this year. He is about 160lbs. and about 5' 7". His bench is around 185-190 with a squat around 250-260. Not so sure about the 40 time, but he played linebacker and fullback last year. Definetly needs work getting out of the blocks. Seems to be mostly interested in football but is playing summer baseball right now and enjoying it.

Ya'll heard anything negative about whey protein?

Can you be more specific about the vitamin. Good ones, brands........

I've asked the question before and have got limited responses, "What is the best supplement on the market now for young athletes?" My son is currently using whey protein and glutamine. Creatine scares me. What are ya'lls thoughts on the matter?

I have been doing 12 oz. curls for years now and they haven't been working for me. I've gotten fat and slow. Can't figure out why? Thinking about going to 16's or maybe even 32's. ;D

Just wanted to put in my two cents. No matter what your wife or girlfriend tells you, "size does matter!" Just think of the number of kids in the US that are great ball players. If you had to pick between a 5' 2" player and a 6' 2" player, which one do you think will get chosen?

It's all been in good fun. I have enjoyed the banter. Hopefully, in the near future, I will have some dogs in the fight. I have two boys that are future leopards. My eldest is going to be a freshman this year, and my youngest is going into second grade. I will check in on ya'll periodically and see what ya'll are debating. Enjoy your victory, it never lasts long enough.

The only thing that really matters is that Jasper is numero uno! In the immortal words of Ricky Bobby, "if you ain't first, you're last!" lol You think that people will really care in a few years who shoulda coulda been 2nd?

Oh drat the luck, it looks like the chef is on a smoke break!
