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.

You could try whey protein. 2 servings should give you most of the protein you need, and per serving, it's pretty cheap. Try   Allthewhey.com

NOS-Blast is primarily carbohydrates, with some caffeine to make you feel like working out harder.  Then it has some amino acids.  \n\nMusclemilk is mostly a protein product.  It was originally created as dog food.\n\nThere are much better protein products out there.  Try EAS or AST-SS or one of the other name brand proteins.  \n\nInstead of NOS-Blast you could probably do about the same taking NOW AAKG and a No-Doze tablet and it would be much less expensive.

I am a full-time teacher and full-time graduate student, so I understand!!  I recommend protein like peanuts or peanut butter, lunch meat, etc. Not too many carbs and very little sugar.  If you prefer caffeine, try the new Diet MDX (I think that's what it's called.) It a new highly caffeinated soda drink from Mountain Dew, or if you don't mind the sugar, Mountain Dew also makes an energy drink called AMP, it tastes much better than Red Bull or Monster (at least I think so.)  Hope that helps!!

Some reviews:\nN0-Explode is a fun product. You will get CRAZY amped, but not much else. The Arginine works by dialating the blood vessels, but all of the caffine closes your blood vessels. You are left with paying 60 dollars for a caffine boost. Try a preworkout supp. like NOX-CG9, you will get much better results, albiet without the rush.\n\nI am in high school and have been working out for about 3 years. I have been working out with NO XPLODE for 3 months now and have had results right away. from not being tired, having edurance, and size...diffinatly size. I would recommed this to any one who takes working out seriously and is looking for a little bost.

Yes, whatever you read is correct only.\n\nCarbs has got the protein sparing ability.\n\nIf you eat/drink only protein just after work out, the protein will be used to regain the energy and not for the building muscles. Well, to save the protein for builiding blocks it is mandatory to take carbs so that the carbs will be used to recover from the fatigue.\n\nHope you understood the matter.\n\nIf not you can write me.

One wat to make it is with the protein poewder found at the grocery store. I use whey protein. look at ingrediants to find the max protien.\n\nAdd milk and powdcer in a mixer you can also addd bananas. you can substitute milk for ice cream or yogurt. sounds bad bad tastes pretty good.

I suggest Energizing Soy Protein.  It has 9 essential amino acids present in the right proportion and is easily absorbed.  It is a vegetable protein with no cholesterol, saturated fats, or artificial flavors or preservatives.  It curbs the appetite, is a real "energy" booster and maintains your blood sugar level and I love the taste.\n\nHope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions.

Don't let it get to you honey!  Remember, it's nothing but a bunch of 1's and 0's!! ;)\n\nAlso, in cases when I've run out of coffee and needed that all important jolt of caffeine:  munch on chocolate-covered espresso beans then follow with a tracer of Jolt soda.  \n\nActually while you're the market, can you pick up some tofu for me? I ran out. :)))))\n\nKeep smiling! :)

Caffeine is in no way fattening. What i do is drink my coffee black with no sugar etc.. It only takes about 1 to 2 weeks to get used to the taste but once you do you will never switch back.\n\nBelieve it or not many bodybuilders drink Black coffee prior to competions. Go for it just do not add suger or any dairy etc...

if u have this workload on you, you can try this: a herbal tee from south america called mate or yerba mate. it has just little caffeine but plenty of other nutrients that really complement the stimulation effect of caffeine. it will give u more stamina than coffee and, unlike coffee, it is absolutely harmless, it is healthy in fact, u can drink it all day, just do not drink it right before going to sleep \n\ni used to drink lots of it instead of coffee, when i realized that i simply cannot continue drinking so much coffee.\n\n  or try Korean ginseng - eleuterococus (i used it when i was writing my thesis and had little sleep and much work) or leuzea=rhaponticum= maral root (i take this one or eleuterococus to combat severe jet lag when the necessity arises - they wake me up, so i am active when i am supposed to be, so i get myself tired and then in the evening i can fall asleep more easily than if i spent the whole day trying to keep my eyes open! . so i think it is equally good for shiftworkers or the situation u described)\n\nBUT: dont take it before u go to sleep, it is imperative thet u sleep well since u dont have much time for that...

Yes, I go to the gym and wish to use a supplement to help my workout program. I looked into stuff like "andro" and others but found Creatine to be the safest pick when taken in moderation. And by moderation, I mean only before I go to workout to help build muscle. I also combine this with NO (Nitrous Oxide) and Glutamine for muscle recovery. Then I also have 3 protein shakes a day and I look good and cut.

Whey protein can make you bulk up, or, it can make you lean.\n\nI also study martial arts and wouldn't train without whey. I find my muscles have better endurance and heal quicker after a hard training/sparring session.\n\nMy muscles have become more dense, which is what you want because whey protein supports the development of lean muscle mass. But, I have not gained excess muscle mass.\n\nLike you, I have discovered that it curbs my appetite and I have shedded excess body fat. I also notice that I have begun to eat healthier overall.\n\nYou probably shouldn't exceed one scoop per day. And, since you are already eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, you will benefit tremendously from adding whey to your nutritional regimen.\n\nIt has the reputation for bulking up muscles because body builders use it notoriously, and in the context of bodybuilding, yes, it is a bulk builder. Yes, it will make you gain muscle mass. But, you aren't following a bodybuilders routine: you are burning calories and fat via high-intensity martial arts cardio and calistenics. So you have a significantly different training profile.\n\nDon't forget: due to whey's rich amino acid profile, your muscles will heal faster, you will supercharge your immune system, and you will speed up your metabolism.\n\nGive it a chance. I think that after a few months of dedicated whey protein usage and consistent martial arts training, your physique will become the envy of all the kids on your block. \n\nTrain hard.

It really depends on what your lifestyle has been like that day.  If you have been sitting around watching TV and eating fatty foods, the protein shake will just add to the problem.\n\nBut if you did a good amount of heavy weight lifting and have been eating right, then your body can and does use protein during the night to build muscle.\n\nYou will want to make sure that it is a slower protein, not an isolate or a weight gainer which is high in carbs.  Some bodybuilders will mix it with raw oats just to slow the digestion so that your body has nutrition all through the night.
