If you're Under the age of 18 read this post FIRST before posting

[BlueRev]

hey thank all yall so much. literally learned more from the thread i started with the same question in a different forum THAT GOT 0 REPLIES. If even one person gave me a legit answer to my question addressing the specific situation I have described in the original post, my intent would be addressed and i would be done. Instead, there's 5 pages of washed up forty year olds who havnt hit leg day since their last day of highschool football attempting to assert dominance over kids trying to actually learn something. Instead of a single answer to my question, theres 150 posts of guys talking about how funny it is some rep copy and pasted some response that they are required to say, and how this should be "stickied", the meaning of which i still do not know. and i dont even care if i get banned or whatever cuz these useless forums are all full of conceited idiots who spend thirty minutes a day flexing at themselves in the mirror, and sole reason i created an account was to have my questions answered, which was never even close to accomplished. I guess I expected the users on this site to be mature and knowledgeable enough to respect me and my questions and answer them to the best of their ability. Clearly, I was wrong. Thanks again for literally and completely ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Settle down lol
Yes some people can be rude, But most people here are not. Ask me a question anytime, i'm always willing to help.

Not gonna read whole thread, but why not on the home page under "Supplements" where it says"everything about the world of supplements" put 18+yrs only or no minors or something along those lines if you don't want teens posting in this section?

good idea but if those same people cannot read or find the stickies do you think they 18+ comment on section will make a bit of difference?

Well I guess my logic is if its directly below the Supplements link they are more likely to see it then a sticky. I'm going to be completely honest, the stickies do not stick out from regular threads and 95% of time I completely skip right past without even giving a look. This is just from experiences on various boards. Stickies tend not to grab attention that they are intended for. I suppose one could just keep stickies plus add the 18+ thing on the home screen. No harm and I'm sure a very easy change to make.

Example- It just took me 6 days to notice you had even replied in this sticky and I'm on the forum multiple times a day because I have developed such a habit of completely skipping them.

bumping a quality thread. i just wish this was around when i started lifting as it may have stopped me going balls deep on my first trip to the gym with OG jack3d - massively underestimated it and chugged back the full dosage.

People still don't realize this comes down to diet.

I've always been astounded by the cluelessness of not only the sub 18 crowd but those in their 20's+ as well..the thing is I'm cool with helping people. Ask me something on ******** or instagram and ill respond, Im not going to troll you for wanting to learn..But i guess whats important to accept is, people won't do their OWN research, work, trial and error etc..they just want that quick answer. & thats what ultimately separates those who will be in it for the long run from those who won't..coming from someone who read all the forums, the articles, was in the gym looking up to the bigger guys at age 15-16 and not making useless accusations..its just hard to see kids (and not kids) so lazy.

Hello,
I want to first of all say congrats, if you stick to diet/exercise/routine you will someday be more successful in the fitness world then 99% of the people who post here.

Slowly working my way around each and every section on BB.

This is a motivator itself. I've yet to know someone who is like 30-years-old and has been lifting since a very young age. It makes me curious.

Anyway, great thread.

Agreed, but who doesnt like the rush of a pwo lol

Hey I really liked that OP! There is Great truth in the young not needing supplements. When I was 17-20 I was lacking in the nutrition department. Yeah I put carton egg whites (like for cooking) in my fruit smoothies in the morning but beyond that I pretty much ate everything in sight healthy or not. (I think my high metabolism helped)
I rode a bicycle and I rode it hard every day and I refused to drive a car. Commutes were 5 miles one way and daily miles were 10-25 (and over 50 on days I rode to the Mountain Bike trail and then rode the trail it self or rode to the jump park etc...) I hit the rock climbing/bouldering wall 5-7 days a week (all day on my days off) and used their weight room to lift light weight and super high reps 2-3 times a week. While my small frame did not show it under a large T-shirt I was pretty well defined.

Sorry if that sounds like bragging. My point is it doesn't all have to be in the weight room I took two things I loved, mountain bikes & rock climbing, and made my entire life revolve around them. You could do the same at a Do-Jo, soccer, or a Jr Boxing league(do they still have that?) etc... Being young, not having a family and working only 40 hours a week gave me plenty of time for all of this.

Emphasis on Nutrition; I got lucky, good genes I suppose but I should have been eating better... I would have gotten more out of everything I did.
I can defiantly tell the difference in good vs bad eating habits but I too way too long to figure that out.

Thanks

If u r under 18 id not reccomend any supplementation at all

[Samaran6]

Tell that to the bartender who denies anyone under 21. Even of i turn 21 the next day legally he can't give me a drink the day today.

But I still believe that you don't need supplements if you are under 18 even if there was no legal issue. Just eat, lift, and sleep.

Very useful thread, thanks!

Hey, I am a 14 year old kid. Only 5'1 and weigh 104.5. I have been working out for two months now. I do not have access to a gym so I only do home workouts. I use a pull up bar and preform various chin-ups/pull-up workouts and many body weight workouts often. I have noticed a lot of gains because two months ago believe or not i was 86 pounds at 5'0 tall, very scrawny as well. The only way i can amp up my workouts is by adding more reps. I am very active by doing activities like basketball and swimming a lot. Over the past 2 weeks i haven't been noticing me getting any bigger. I guess its because of my limited access to weights and only being able to do body weight workouts. I do not take proteins a lot in my daily meals and is wondering if taking protein shakes would be necessary for me, and would hopefully see some noticeable differences in my body for body building. Thanks for reading this long ass text.

Looks like you need to figure out how to add weight. Use a gallon jug filled with water for curls and shoulders etc. use your head. As for supplements you don't need them, you need more food.

Hello,
I want to first of all say congrats, if you stick to diet/exercise/routine you will someday be more successful in the fitness world then 99% of the people who post here.
With that being said.


You're under 18, We cannot(legally) and will not recommend you use ANY supplement.

This is our advice to you. If you decide to take it you will be ripped, you will be fit, and you will have success in this industry someday.
Follow these steps


1. Go ahead and click this link
In this section you will find information on your diet and how key it is. In bodybuilding diet is the most important thing, It comes down to Protein/Carbs/Fats. How many calories you ingest combined with how many calories you burn per day. It's very simple but people like to over complicate things.
It does not matter what foods you eat, or what time of the day you eat them. What matters is how much at the end of the day and staying in either a calorie deficit or surplus.
To bulk up: You must be in a calorie surplus
To lose weight: You must be in a calorie deficit

It's that simple. Don't be that guy who asks "how do i build lean muscle"

2. Go ahead and click this link , More Workout Routines
Now you need to find a program or make one that fits your lifestyle.
You need to figure out what you will be using (could be a home gym, body weight exercises, an actual gym)
Once you figure this out, you need to stick with it. With a good diet and good routine you will gain muscle, you will lose fat.
The hardest part about this sport is doing the same thing everyday. But in the end it pays off.
Do not lift like an idiot, Be smart about it. Don't go in the gym and curl 60 lb dumbbells, start low and work your way up.
Do it correctly, Anyone can throw up a weight, the different between successful people in the gym is to know your weight tolerance.

3. Sleep, This is key. Sleep is when you grow, it's when your body rests. THIS IS KEY in any bodybuilders routine. 6-8 hours per night. No exceptions.
No need to go party, You have to make a life choice. Go out and party, or eat healthy and get ripped for the future. Your choice.
You can still have fun and be a bodybuilder, The difference is to know when to have fun, and when to be serious about diet/training.
This is a lifestyle. Working out 2 times a week with a crappy diet and a bad routine will never result in the gainz you seek.


Now to sum this all up, You don't need supplements again.
Supplements are literally to supplement your diet where you lack, They in no way make up for a poor diet.
You're young, Stick to the basics and by the time you're 18 you will be so ripped company's will throw free supplements at you.

Some other helpful links for you guys

Cheers

Do supplements have any effects like cancer?, I really am looking to using them.
