Puttin on some pounds yo

ok i dont want to get into to much detail but i want to put some weight on for Rugby, football and lacrosse.

im 14 years old

5'3"( and growing)

120lbs( give or take)

I already have an ok build from off season training from last year but havnt worked out in a long time because i dont have time during the football season( which is now). Im going to wrok out alot when football ends(1 -2 weeks depending how we do in playoffs) to get ready for rugby and shit.

since i play Cornerback speed and quickness is a big thing for me so i was wondering if working out alot and putting on weight is going to make me slower. I already take protein powder after practice( sometimes in the morning too)

i am planning by next year to put on a good 20lbs, is this to much for someone of my height? and again would this take away speed?

creatine doesnt actually give you that much more muscle, it's a lot of water weight that you gain. Once you stop using it, you will shrink like no other.

I suggest not doing too much other than maybe eating a lot and a bit of protein supplement. You won't need to get super big. You're not very skinny for your size, and to be fast you should be aerobic. For lax, it helps to be bigger but if you're fast and have really good stick skills and you know how to check then you should be fine in the games.

yea i know for lax i dont really need to put on weight ( i just put that in there as one of the sports i play along with the others)but it does help a bit because i play box lacrosse so it might help when taking/ giving hits. The weight is mostly for rugby and football.

although i dont really need the weight but if i can keep my speed and gain the muscle theres not much reason why i shouldnt put it on. and for anyone who has played any sports involving contact a little weight goe's along way usually. even if i dont gain to much weight ill be working out either way to build muscle.

dont worry, i have never considered creatine. it doesnt appeal to me the least bit.

start eatin pb & j sandwhiches like theyr goin out of style.  you gotta increase your calorie intake to the point that it is double your calorie expenditure.

and you have to work out and get some cardio in as well, otherwise all those carolies will be stored as fat instead of muscle.

eat good nutricious meals every 3 hours or so, but make them smaller meals.

it takes time, so dont give up if you dont see results after 1 week. and yea whoever said protein shakes that is a good idea too.  get a protein powder that has glutemine in it. glutemine stimulates your metabolism and it helps your muscles recooperate faster after a workout.

i'd suggest creatine, but if you said your only 14, its usually not a good idea for kids under 18. it has somethin to do with your body is not fully developed yet and it has some negative effects on younger kids.

hope that helps man

good luck

20 pounds of muscle is alot to expect in a year, you would have to be seriously dedicated to weightlifting and have a super good diet. but if i were you i wouldnt be so much concerned with putting on size as much as gaining strength. stay in the lower rep range like 4-8, with alot of weight. make sure to explode out of the reps and have good form and you will gain alot of strenght and power while not putting on to much weight that could interfere with you skiing. obviously you will still put on size eventually just not as fast and as much as if you were in the 10-12 rep range going for a pump. but do alot of explosive leg work like squats. (bench, squat and deadlift should be staples in your routine) some basic tips are to make sure you are eating enough of the right foods and a post workout shake is a good idea to replenish you muscles. make sure to get alot of protein and complex carbs aswell.

whats the difference in # of reps. like what does that accomplish?

and obviously i cant expect 20lbs of pure muscle because i do know thats alot.

and yea i dont really care if i put on all that weight just as long as i get considerably stronger.

if you want to get bigger and stronger low reps high weight is key.  I like to pyramid it which means 10-8-6-4.  Its mostly what works for you. I don't get stronger doing 5 5 5 at the same weight so that why i pyramid. Supposivly if you do lower weight high reps it gets you more cut(15 20 reps)

dude, are you serious... you just finished the thread about the protein...

No gaining weight isnt going to do anything about your speed and quickness. I highly doubt you gain 20lbs in a year but thats really up to how hard you train, I'll bet 10 and if you gain 10lbs most of it will be muscle so you will most likely be faster. I recommend taking a weight gainer such as Mutant Mass cause you can get 15lbs of it from GNC for about 70$ and its just as good as most other weight gainers. Also try and eat 6 Meals a day, you can eat a meal before you go to bed (which your not usually supposed to do) but it will make you gain weight faster and just have fruit in the morning because the acids in the fruit burn off fat. If you have any questions from now on just send me a message and ill tell you all about it.

Citrus fruits
Lemons, limes and oranges all contain Vitamin C and amino acids which dilute the fat, making it less effective. They also help in releasing fat from the body.

Apples
A chemical found in apples called pectin slows down the body's capacity to absorb other foods - including fat. They also encourage water consumption from the food which helps in releasing fat deposits from the body.

Pineapple
Eating fruit in the morning helps you digest your food more efficiently during the day, and pineapple contains special digestive enzymes that work double time to help you digest food quickly.

Berries
Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, black and red currants all stimulate the main organs that are involved in detoxification, boosting metabolism and making the body more efficient at burning fat.

 I used to be a trainer, don't even try.

Why have you taken creatine? Cause I know I have and it did me wonders, there are so many myths around creatine like your muscles get filled with water, and it's terrible for your kidneys, all of that is bullshit. I gained easily 5 lbs of muscle off of one bottle of creatine pills and could go way harder in the gym, i recommend creatine fully.

If your looking to gain mass then to high weight low reps... so lets say your max for bench is like 150lbs just do like 140 4 times. If you wanted to go for cut then you do lower weight, high reps, so if your max bench was 150lbs you do like lets sayy 125lbs 10 times.

protein shakes, at least a few a day. Keep lifting, and push yourself when you do, then eat a lot.

yea i was aware that fruits inadvertantly help you burn fat but you made it sound to the average person that the acids literally burn off fat, my bad.

get weight gainer protein shakes. dont take creatine whatever you do. and eat even if you arent hungry. try and eat 1 or 2 pb and j's before bed each night and do maybe a solid 2 mile run every other day to stay in shape. lift on the other days. do fewer reps with more weight, that builds bulk. what position do you play in rugby? wing im guessing

Bah, holy i never thought of that and it makes perfect sence, but it can be rediculously hard, especially if your like a swimmer, or runner. One time i was trying to get 4000 calories a day and couldn't do it.

Phelps can consume up to 10,000 calories a day during pre comp training... Imagine that. And he is built.

^for cut, aim for about 15reps, or at least more than 12, and try 3 sets.

Protein for repair and you'll be set. Eat the right foods.

no this is dumb. your 14, your body isnt ready to throw a massive amount of muscle on it. trying to be 20lbs heavier in a year is crazy man, its not good for u. dont take suppliments, dont try bulk up, its just silly. if you want to train for lacrose and what not, do so. work on explosive power, strengthening muscles etc. but dont try and get massive now.
youll shrink your dick too
