No, not your useful protein.  Just make sure you're eating right and drinking lots of water at the same time.

Hey Man,\n\nI've been looking over the claims that Gakic makes. I can't imagine that it would be "eating" your muscles up. Are you eating enough protein and carbs? Your muscles can get eaten up if your bofy fat percentage is already low and you are exercising, as well. I'm thinking of trying Gakic and I dould use some advice. If you get a chance, shoot me a message. \n\n-Spooker

pray, but if u work at it hard you might see some results, i would have to disagree with the last girl about the vegitables cause u want to gain muscles in your abs, so id say go on a straight chicken breast diet, no salt, no sugar, for the 3 weeks, just water and chicken, maybe a protien shake every now and then as a meal replacement, and do alot of sit ups, maybe get a medicine ball and have someone toss it to you while you are doing your sit ups, or get some weight plates and put them on your chest while your doing sit ups lol, that just my thoughts

Boy are you in for it. High Maintenance. I hope you take vitamins.

Heres the deal. I was a huge football player myself and I'm glad to see the dedication at your age, good signs for the future. you have to stick with it.  It is not just going to happen over night.  The stronger you are the more advantage you have on the feild.  There is no one powder that will do it all.  What i recomend is mixing a few things.  For instance, get a protein that you can get down.  If you have to drag yourself to the blender everyday you are not going to be able to keep going much longer. I personally like protoplex from vitamin world. Its cheaper and it tastes great. I only have one kidney so i cannot take to much protein though.  Your body at 110 lbs can probably only take about 30-35 grams of protein at a time. The rest will probably pass through. With your protein every morning or an hour or so before the gym, take a tablespoon of glutamine. This will help your body absorb all the nutrients and minerals that are in the drink you are taking.  Also, it helps the recovery.  I also take ZMA at night before bed, another recovery enhancing product. I find that it does work but you have to be persistant. At your age i would not go heywire with the supplements, your body is still growing and over the next couple years you will find your mass will be increasing dramatically.   Don't get hung up on the bench press either. A lot of meat heads judge someones strength and athleticism by there bench press.  In football, the most important thing is going to be legs. get your leg strength and speed up as first priority, then chest and back than arms.  You are already ahead of most football players in your school i am sure, just by attempting to workout at your age. Stay with it. Champions are made in the offseason.  Some of my favorite years were in HS football, live it up with no regrets.  Just work your butt  off and it will come. trry to stay away from too much creatine. I took that stuff in high school and if you ask me it was a waste of money. Didn't do a thing for me. Plus it is really hard on the kidneys. Something that my buddies are taking now is No xplode. they really like it, but make sure you seee your doctor about it, just like all the other stuff, especially with your age.

I'll share my own personal experince with you, use muscle building supplements with extreme caution if you must!! The companies that manufacture them have become unscrupulous and they are only keen on making money. They'll put anything in those supplements to make you blow up in no time without any regard to their side effects and your health. And am not talking about just steroids, supplements too!!  Right now am battling high blood pressure and high cholesterol as a result of using Nitro Tech, a leading brand name in the protein shake industry!! In my opinion training on natural food is the best way to go if you are only keen on sculpting and toning up your muscles. Eat foods high in protein but at the same time consume red meat and dairy products sparingly. The best source of healthy protein is chicken, fish (white meat) and plant proteins such as soy beans. Ensure you take in a lot fluids too especially water and home made juices! A lot of bodybuilders really go overbaord with the protein intake and from my experience that's really an overkill. A balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and high quality carbs such as oats, wholewheat bread, baked potatoes and muesli will do your body a lot of good. Get yourself a health magazine e.g Muscle and Fitness provides some very good insights on a good nutritional plan but in my opinion stay away from the supplements as tempting as they seem. Some of them don't even have patents to back them yet and for that reason they should be labelled as "poison" because that's what they are. Some of the ingredients in many of those supplements are so potent and powerful, they scar and clog up your ateries in no time! This to me beats the whole purpose of body building in the first place which is to maintain good health and fitness. For me even though I am very fit, I lost out on my health. Learn from my mistake and don't misconstrue one for the other because they belong together; Fitness and Health. I hope I was of help. Good luck.

I have tried creatine and the only effect it had on me was to reduce my bank balance.  It is also worth pointing out that it is not considered a doping drug (i.e. athletes can take it).  This suggests that it doesn't have a big effect on performance.  Whey protein is about the only worthwhile supplement, everything else is really for the professionals who want to gain a tiny advantage.  I have tried most supplements and have come to the conclusion that they are just money making fads.  \n\nLifting heavier and heavier weights is the only way to pack on extra muscle.  Obviously this becomes more difficult as the weights get heavier as you need spotters.  On the spotter point, I train on my own, yet I never have a problem getting a spotter on my heavier sets.  Just ask another gym member, normally they are only too willing to help out.\n\nAlso, are you eating enough?  The quickest way to put on muscle is to have periods of bulking and ripping.  Personally I bulk up twice a year and then aim to get ripped at Christmas time and then again in the summer.  In the bulking periods I eat and eat and normally put on an extra 15 or so pounds.  My strength goes rapidly up during these periods as my body has everything it needs to repair and pack on muscle (i.e. extra calories and plenty of vitamins).  I do this for about 6-8 weeks then I cut my calorie intake down to BMR - 500.  In about 6 weeks I am then back to my normal weight + a pound or two of extra muscle.\n\nHope this help.

Yeah, it's kinda risky. Just stick to whey protein.

No - unless you do physical labour (which technically is exercise).  They are doing experiments in gene doping with Insulin-like Growth Factor - but it's for people with muscle wasting diseases.  You're goning to have to lift weights or start working construction/agriculture (or any other physically demanding job).  Exercise is fun, gives you social contact, makes you feel better and helps build up muscle.  You should give it a try!

You would probably do more harm than good. Your body isnt' designed to constantly work out like that. Check with your doctor, but I personally think it's overkill. ONce you start burning fat, it can turn to the point where you are burning muscle too.  I can't remember the terms from biology, but be careful.

Dont worry ....you  can get hige if you want it bad enough.  Some people have the genes for it and other don't.  Either way, you can get JACKED!\n\nStart increasing your calorie intake, in particular from protein souces.\n\nShoot for 0.75 to 1.0 gram of protein per pound of body weight taht you have.  You are 120 pounds so try to eat about 75-100 gm of protein a day in particular on the day after a hard workout. \n\nUse glutamine after a workout with a protein shake and some almonds or peanuts.\n\nRemember to stay well hydrated because the extra protein is extcreted in the kidney and you want to flush the by products out.\n\nStay focused, use good form and do reps slowly.  \n\nGood luck.\n\nYou should be able to put on 10-20 pounds of lean muscle in 6 months to a year.

Go to forum.bodybuilding.com and ask the question there.  The good people on those forums would be a lot better off helping you than the people here.

how long/hard do you work per day?  i guess the obvious answer is to make sure you sleep enough and eat enough.  if you do, then you can give it a shot...it's pretty cheap.  it's mainly used by bodybuilders so if it gives them the energy to go through their workouts, it should probably get you through the day.

Not at all. if someone told you that you should go slap em in the face. just remember that if you take protien supplements, they are most effective 45 minutes after your workout, so dont waste too much time in the shower.

I've found for me the protein helped me pack on the pounds but it was in muscle..I think depending on how you work out though it might help in your weight loss attempts..it will definitely help you build more muscle which should replace the fat.. which is a plus!

You have to push your body to its limits if you want to go strong but make sure you get a good warm up first or you will injure yourself. Also it alot of food with protiens and pottasium (hope i spelled it right,lol) I hope this helps
