ok boys... its time to teach your parents some lessons...
First off all, this post is only intended for INFORMATION!
So you are about to enter the world of bodybuilding, but your parents are against. What should i do?
Ok, So probably your parents are telling you "You'll stun your growth", "You dont need supplements", "It'll be bad for you". Basically, all you can do is prove them wrong. Not just with cursing your parents until you get grounded or somethin, but with facts. Ill try to help you, As i went through this stage at first. Now my mom even buys me supplements
You cant go to the gym at your age, you'll wont grow anymore!
The whole notion of growth being stunted by weight lifting is
a myth. Weightlifting does not stunt height growth, or
any other kind of growth, for that matter. There is no scientific
evidence to support such ideas. The latest weight training studies done on
teens showed only positive effects.
Not only will proper weight training not stunt growth, it allows
teens to grow up with stronger muscles and bones, along with a
healthy lifestyle.
Studies have shown that more compression is generated by jumping, as much as 7 times the weight the body. So basically, if your teen is not squating over 650 pounds, greater stress is created my daily activities, such as basketball.
For an example, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger started lifting very
young in his teens, and he went past the 6' mark.
Even the real life "HULK" Lou Ferrigno started lifting at 14 years old... now look at him...

You cant take ____________ for supplement... its bad for you!
Goddamit with this parents and they thinking that every supplement tub is steroids... that total crap and needs to be resolved
Here is the Dictionary definition for supplement:
Something added to complete a thing, make up for a deficiency, or extend or strengthen the whole.
When we enter the world of bodybuilding, we need to be more "complete", we are "deficient" in certian nutrients. Thats why we need to take supplements, such as protein, multivitamin, and certian other things.
Protein Supplementation
In easy way to put it, WE NEED PROTEIN! Everyone does! Everyone consumes protein daily!
Other than water, protein is the most abundant nutrient in the body. Protein is a chain of linked units called amino acids. The protein you eat is split apart into these amino acids, absorbed in the small intestines, then rearranged and put back in the blood stream. These new arranged proteins carry out specific functions to maintain life. All living tissues are made up of twenty-two essential and nonessential amino acids. Essential amino acids are not made by the body and must be supplied through diet. There are nine essential amino acids: Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, and Valine. The remaining thirteen are nonessential amino acids produced in the body and not essential to consume through the diet.
As we finish out workout, our body needs to repair out muscles, therefore, thats what the protein is about.
we can take either protein as a supplement (Protein Powder) or in food (Chicken, tuna, cheese etc.)
Multivitamin Supplementation
Cmon, there is really no sense in discussing this. Our body has ALWAYS needed the vitamins, minerals, nutrients, etc that has always needed! But for us that are now training, it is more crucial to have proper levels of every nutrient and vitamin in our body.
Creatine Supplementation
Ok, here is where parents start to get difficult. Such myths as "creatine will damage your liver". The truth is, this myth is a total
FAKE , here, let me put some studies that were made.
There are claims that creatine users are more susceptible to cramps, muscle spasms, and even pulled muscles. However, in a three-year study designed to find out whether these creatine side effects really do exist,
creatine had no effect on the incidence of injury or cramping in a group of football players.
-----
Research published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise shows similar results [3]. In a group of 26 athletes using creatine for up to four years, there was
no difference in the reported incidence of muscle cramp or injury compared with athletes not using creatine.
-----
Twenty-three members of an NCAA Division II American football team were divided into a creatine group and a control group who took no supplements.
Subjects in the creatine group averaged 14 grams of creatine a day for three years. However, the researchers could find
no detrimental effects on either kidney or liver function.

Creatine supplementation has been proven to be safe when
controled , it even has some good side effects, such as lowering significantly the "bad" cholesterol. Side effects when supplementing with creatine are very rare, which include cramping and Diarrhea, but again, are very rare.
Creatine for us people begining to train, will aid us in our strenght. Thats all.... no other adverse effect. For some it may work wonders, and for some it will not work, that depends on each person.
creatine is not "necessary" when you start... so dont mind asking when starting.
Hope this helps to all of you trying to convince your parents that there is nothing wrong about bodybuilding and supplements.
I only covered supplements for "noobs". But anyway the best supplement they'll ever find is food.
Remember kids, be patients with your parents. Understand them, they are looking for your safety and are concerned about you. Make them understand that there is nothing wrong about bodybuilding and that it will make you no harm at all. Convince them that it will help you in whatever your goal is (socially, personal, health etc.) and that nothing wrong will happen.
Work them slowly, do not rush things, be PATIENT.
happy lifting!
