my cuzen wants to start working out with me & wants to bulk up.. i just told him to eat lots & lots of food because he is about 5'10" 130lbs 15yrs old pretty scrawny but ripped he believes that if he gets bigger he'll get all the girls lol we all thought that when we turned 15.. he wants to take creatine i told him i did when i was his age but ur better off just taken protein shakes for rite now.. do u guys think he can take creatine? i know i did when i was 15 i even wasted my money on cell-tech because the magazine said i can gain 10lbs in 7days...
any input would help!

Creatine wouldn't hurt, but I would tell him to save his money for protien and food.

yes he can take creatine. i would focus more on diet than anything.

the #1#1#1 Most important thing for somone your age to remember when taking creatine is.. DRINK LOTS OF WATER. years ago some wrestlers "kids" died "from creatine" their parents said.. basicly they wer cutting weight on cratine and dehydrated themselfs and they died.. pretty stupid to me.. but i dont want to hear another dumb ass parent like that kids mom that was at the steroids hearings blaming mark mcgwire becouse she was a bad parent.
so PLEASE drink water.

Food ,rest and proper training are the only things a 15 year old needs!

i have him down for the diet he eats what i eat just not as much, he drinks water all day cuz thats what i do so thats fine... i'll just see how he does for the next month if he can stick with it, & if he does i'll get him some creatine

i dont recommend creatine at all , dont care for the stuff...

hard training and things like protein and glutamine with a good diet is the best way to go
