Help getting my younger brother started.

[Oakleys]

Goals are increasing size.

He was a basketball player in highschool. His year ended early, so he said he wants to start building his upper body up.


His cardio is very impressive. I just want to know what he should start off with. He has lifted lighter weights for years.

I've got him on a basic protein diet as of now.


Suggestions?

5'10
150lbs
18yrs

[MONEY AND MASS]

No! No!

[Oakleys]

No! No!

Maybe a bit better advice here.

He is young, so I don't want to start feeding him supplements lol

[MONEY AND MASS]

okay so youd rather feed him some roids?

[Oakleys]

You do realize this is the supplement section correct?

I'm asking a pretty basic question.


What is a good starting stack for a 18 year old.

We on the same page now?

[MONEY AND MASS]

No i didnt realize that but you just said that you dont want to feed him supps...

"stack" implies steroids

stacking supplements is a media/advertising term to make supplements look hardcore

Creatine
Multivitamin
Fish Oil
BCAAs
Pre-workout (NO Shotgun, Jack3d or Black Powder)

However, the only thing that will give him quality gains in weight is food. Supplements help your body utilize the food better.

Creatine is the best IMO, and it is DIRT cheap

Also, hame him incorporate deadlifts, squats and benchpresses religiously

Thanks Big Kuntry, I appreciate it.


Thats basically the same stuff I take. I wasn't sure if it was okay for him to take all those things at his age.


Good workout suggestions, I will have him do those just like you said.

Also, for his age is diet is almost in check. He just has to get rid of those 'little' bad snacks lol

No offense but I have no clue what your saying half the time lol


I'd like to get him on a macro diet, but with him being in school and stuff its hard. He can't exactly eat whenever he wants lol.

get a solid diet,like bigkuntry said incorporate compund movements and as anyone should tell him to check his ego at tha door and do not worry about lifting as much wt as he can,concentrate on form.
