I love how everyone is simply saying to eat more. Maybe you dont realize how little calories it takes to maintain 148lb. Dont tell him just "EAT MORE!!1!" or his next thread will be, "I did what you said and ate, how do I lose all this fat I gained?!"

Yes, diet is important. Go read the nutrition section. Figure out how many calories you should intake daily, from the Stickies posted in that section.

Carbs + Water + Reps = Pump. If you cant get a natural pump, without supplements, something is lacking. Probably the workout...

First question I would have asked, if he couldn't get a "pump", what is your workout routine like? What type of lifts are you doing and how many Reps and Sets of each?

I alreadt directed him to the nutrition section, and asked about his training. He's at the mercy of his coach it seems.

3 eggs on toast in the morning
Protein Shake with banana and peanut butter in the afternoon (powder has 33g of protein)
Dinner varies but is usually cooked meat/chicken/fish and 2-3 veggies

Looking at that alone...i see approx 100g of protein 50g of carbs and 40g of fat.... 960 calories

is this bad? I'm only in highschool.

Training also varies since my coach changes the routine up everyday. Usually its bench press, then incline or decline. Pull Up's, squats, deadlift. Then I do concentration curls by myself to finish up. Instead of pull-ups we may do bent over row, sometimes seated row. We also do shoulder presses often. It's never the same, he believes in mixing it up to confuse the body.

sometimes you gotta suck it up and do what the coach says if you want to play

Yes you did. ok, not everyone. Lol. Slight exaggeration. Wouldn't expect a weak response from you.

Perhaps, find some gym time outside of practice?

You should go to the doctors and get some blood work done.
you could be deficient in something.
Good Luck!

Repeatedly contracting the muscle under resistance. No supps needed.

Carbs and water help. There are products that can increase the pump

Try neurocore, then you'll get the "pump."
