hillbilly, i am a fresman who started Morgan Co. Varsity Football last year at a mere 175lbs. I need some help on improving my strength and putting on weight so that i can step up for the team next year. I am taking protein and creatine but are their any thing else you could suggest. I now weigh about 185 w/ a 300lb squat, 175 lb clean, 190 lb bench, and 260 lb deadlift. I am about 5'11' and 15 years old. I play linebacker and center. And I switch up my 2 a day routine usually once every 2 months. I am open to any and all suggestions.

Good questions--I can tell you up front--we do not advocate the use of supplements with the exception of protein. Creatine has its benefits--but you are honestly going to do just as much for yourself if you continue to lift and eat right.

The key for your lifting is to continue to pursue supplemental lifts. (Not just your base package).

In regard to supplements--there is one thing that hits along the lines of protein/amino acids that could help to increase your recovery time--which gives you more time to lift successfully. Look up something called "Sat-ur-8". Again--keep in mind--if you really want to gain weight--chances are--you are not going to. Your body is designed to handle a certain amount at this age. And besides--if you are playing center and LB--you need to be just as concerned with your speed/quickness--which could be affected by more weight on your frame.

The true key is eating right--sweet potatoes, peanut butter, red meat, high carbs are not going to hurt either.

If I were you--I wouldn't be all that concerned. You sound like you have solid size for your age. You are going to continue to get bigger with age.

If you want something more formalized--send me a pm.
