alright thanks for steering me in the right direction. if not the anabolic or testoboosters, what would u add to what i'm already taking? my gains are coming slowly but surely and i know i sound foolish but like anyone else i wana get as big/cut as i can and soon! any help would be great. im on the shorter side at 5'7" at 19 so i figure if i cant get taller.. get wider(while loooking good)
Like I said, creatine monohydrate is perfectly safe at your age and will help add strength. The stronger you are, the more weight you can lift. The more weight you can lift, the more your muscles will grow. That's all I would add.
Then eat. A lot. But eat clean. Lean meat and fish, vegetables by the bushel. Only consume sugar early in the day or around the time you lift. Limit your alcohol intake (although you can't legally do that yet anyway...) and drink lots of water.
Then lift. A lot. Consistently. You'll find all sorts of different lifting programs and people have their favorites. I believe that lifting heavy weights in short, concise workouts is the most efficient (i.e. quickest) way to build muscle. I use Max OT (
www.ast-ss.com) and love it. Sign up for the program and try it out for 8 weeks. I can all but guarantee that if you eat clean and follow that program, that you will see positive results in 2 months. I sounded like a used car salesman just then...
But it's true. If you don't like that program, just search your butt off and make your own program and diet plan. There's more information out there than you will need. Be patient and realize that you cannot build muscle as quickly as you want to. Everyone is impatient (me included) but the body doesn't work that way.
At age 19, your testosterone production is at it's peak. With a good diet and lifting program, you will gain more muscle in the next 3 years than you ever will again in your life. Take advantage of it.
