Hey all... I am looking for some advice on how I can help my son gain weight. His stats.
14yo a little over 6ft and ~148lbs (He is going to be tall as his shoe size is 15)
Up until a couple years ago he was pretty pudgy but once puberty kicked in he shot up and really leaned out. He looks more like a tall lean Basketball player than a football player. He like BB but Football is his passion. He has played football (Rec and Pop Warner) for the past 7 years (5yrs as a Tackle or Guard and 2 as a Tightend) and will begin Highschool ball next year. His HS has opened up the weightroom for incoming freshman for instructional lifting and conditioning training and he really want to take advantage of it. They are focusing on the core lifts (Bench, Squat, and Deads). He already eats like a beast but can't seem to pack on any meat. He will eat a couple of those banquet microwave meals as a snack after school and be hungry an hour later.
I was thinking of adding in some kind of supps and mixes and was looking for suggestions. I started him taking fishoil caps, multivitimins, and he drinks a whey shake PWO but I was going to look into those weight gainer powders for him.
I have been battling the buldge all my life so this is a new arena for me. Any advice you can give will be appreciated.
