Workout program for 15-year-old guy?!
Question: Workout program for 15-year-old guy?
15 years old
very skinny
5'11
not much fat or muscle(especially upper body)
140 lbs.
I am starting the P90x program soon, and i am fully committed to finishing the full 90 days. They emphasized the importance of supplementing throughout the program. I do not have the money to buy all the supplements they advertise, and i'm sure there are cheaper alternatives and some products are not necessary. So that is my question. Here is an item i am sure i need:
100% whey protein: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QSNYGI?ie=UTF8&tag=brettdorseyco-20
I also already have a multivitamin, fish oil(omega 3), and vitamin b complex. Are these the right pills to take?
Should i use creatine? Here is what i was looking at:

If not i was looking at this product too, which also has creatine and other stimulants inside. This is a pre-workout drink:

I would only take one of these products above (creatine)
Are there any other products i should buy? Any i should not take? better products than above? which brands are best (cheap, but effective)? Please leave a thorough answer, and i will pick a best answer quickly thank you :)
*Also: I would love to decrease muscle soreness throughout the program, because i am a pitcher for JV high school baseball.. Will these products decrease soreness? or any other porducts that would work? Thanks
Answers:
You got the best whey protein right with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. I would also recommend getting their casein which is a slow acting protein you take before going to sleep.
As far as creatine goes, I would not recommend that at your age. And muscle soreness will improve as your muscular endurance improves, there is not much you can do about that except maybe get icy-hot or sit in the sauna after you lift.
Yeah, that's a good protein:

You sound like a sweet boy who just wants to have the best summer, so I'll help you out!
The only way to gain muscle is this way! Whenever you get the opportunity, skip breakfast. Also skip lunch. Many people would disagree, but I'm a doctor and they're not. Plus, you get to eat as much as you want for dinner!!! Thus you create what we call in the medical industry a "bank of energy" and are able to gain muscle exponentially!
Moving onto the exercise portion, run 5 miles a day. Start small though! Only run 1 mile the first week and gradually increase your increments until you vomit. That will also save calories!
Finally, for social health, accuse all of your friends for being fat. That way, they can't call you fat. Also, don't be afraid to show a little skin at school. Baby jesus gave you what you got for a reason!
I just know with my advice, you will be the prettiest and most popular boy in school!
