Francis says:

Oh man....he's currently 180lbs (around 15%) and 6'2 at 15, and recently won the Welsh indoor rowing championship by about 3 lengths. He's got the genetics from my mums welsh rugby playing family whereas I got my dads long distance runner genetics.
He rows 3/4 times a week and does weights 2 times a week. He can't cut this down because it's required by his coach..hes improving all the time though so I don't think he's overtraining.
Do you guys think the official how to bulk thread would be a suitable diet for a 15 year old? obviously cut it down a little cuz 420g of protein is unneccesary at his size i'd imagine.
If he gains 15lbs and grows 1 inch in the next 8 months he'll be shortlisted for the UK national team, he's a brilliant rower for his age so if he satisfies the weight and height requirements he'll be a shoein. (he's growing like a weed so I don't doubt he'll hit the height)
Anyway, anyone got any tips? How should I set out his diet? I've talked to my mum and she's happy to cook whatever is necessary and he is happy to give up cocopops and sugarpuffs and chips if it can get him on the national team.
So this is a blank slate here people, help me get him growing!
I'd especially appreciate I B D's help, he seems to be the resident diet guru, but any and all is appreciated
