Hi i am 17 years old and i have been stuck at 127 pounds for a while now. I play professional level soccer and i need to gain more weight to help me in my game. I am also open to buying supplements, except i am not looking to do any hormone changing stuff.
Thanks.
If you're not making gains, then you're NOT eating enough for them, period. If you're in the gym and soccer training, then you need to be eating a sh*tload of food to cover your energy expenditure and then to make gains on TOP of that, and I am not joking!
At 17 years old, you don't need any supplements but the basic staples: Creatine and a multivitmain - at your weight, you can get all your good fats, protein, and BCAAs requirements from your diet.
Also, make sure that you're RESISTANCE training to gain that muscle weight, since soccer training is NOT going to do it for you. Make sure you do the bulk of your resistance training in your OFF season, so that you concentrate on soccer (agility, endurance, speed endurance, speed, etc.) during the in-season; and that the weight you gain is LEAN mass.
I recommend reading the articles at
Gaining Muscle for an idea re nutrition and training for muscle gains.
