your body can only produce a certain amount of muscle mass without the use of steroids. That's just how genetics works. If you have a big frame, you can pack on more muscle then someone with a smaller frame. 280 pounds is pretty heavy, but I don't know how tall you are. If you got 280 pounds of muscle on you, then that's alot of muscle already. If it's all fat, then you need to drop the fat with cardio, and build the weight back with muscle. I would definitely go with the protein and calorie burning shakes that you get at GNC. A blend called Muscle Milk is good.

You need to do weight training to put on weight. The food is minimal. You will not find a food that will make you build muscle on its own. believe me I'm skinny too. I've just put on 10 pounds from weight training. But u gotta got like 5 times a week and train hard and keep at it. Its worth it.

I like protein shakes.  They are an easy way to supplement your diet with additional protein.  \n\nThey can be a waste of money, though, if you already eat an adequate diet.  A can of tuna or a turkey sandwhich is equivalent to a protein shake.  The protein shake is nice for when you want something quick and easy. Often times, the shakes are flavored and can take the edge off of a sugar craving.\n\nI drink 0 to 2 shakes a day, depending upon if I need them or not.  I think a lot of the magazines that push the protein drinks do that because the majority of their advertisers are for protein shakes.  So I use them when I need them.\n\nBad things about them: I've noticed that a lot of the whey protein shakes have a lot of cholesterol in them. If you are concerned or have an issue with your cholesterol, then try the soy ones.\n\nIf you take protein shakes without working out, you'll likely just gain body fat.  Most shakes are only about 100 - 150 calories so you won't get overweight, overnight but you aren't going to get much benefit from them.\n\nAll in all, if you can afford them and you need a quick jolt of protein, use them. Otherwise you can always use normal food to supplement your bodybuilding efforts.

Creatine definately, also whey protein, and Muscletech has some products like Gakic, Leukic, Creakic, Anator P-90. These all available at GNC. But remember you cant take these supplements and expect to get ripped, you need to take these supplements and lift weights. Anator P-90 is very sketchy tho, its for serious professional bodybuilders. none of the supplements i listed are steroids.

First of all, creatine is for adults who have been lifting for a while.  After lifting for many years, a person reaches a limit of strength.  He uses the creatine to see new muscle.  But your still growing and a beginner such as yourself can build new muscle just the same  as if you were on creatine. Basically it's a waste for you.  Plus your still growing lifting heavy weights will stunt your growth.  Go ask your baseball coach or any doctor.  They will tell you the same thing.

I'm taking NoXplode right now and I love it. Its really given me motivation in the gym. Dont buy it from GNC though youll spend twice as much as you would if you ordered it over the internet. Stack  NoXPlode with a good whey protein, Optimum is my favorite. Dont take and diet pills while you're trying to gain weight. Proper nutrition is key to great gains.

You don't want to lift weights to loose weight. You have to run, play basketball/football. Cardio stuff like that. And drink lots of water. Like 2 gallons a day.

Hi, it depends what shake you buy. They usually reccomend when to take it.\nIf I am working out I take one in the morning, one after my work out and if I really didnt get enough protein from my food I would take on before I went to bed.\nI get maximuscle products have a look at the website they give you good information but have a look around you might be able to buy the product for cheaper.\nAlso drinks by EAS are meant to be good i used them for bit.\nBut you also have to have a healthy balanced diet, protien shakes wont build muscle on their own and they are not magical!\nTry just eating right and uping the protein you eat from food. Its true I have heard that chocolate milk can be just as good!

well, A protein hevy diet will certainly help boost any results you may have from lifting. The pprotein is what is actually used to build the muscle. Myoplex is a great way to get a load of protein for shakes and such.

You need to get stronger. Much stronger. Hit the weight room every single day. Read up on workout programs and see how they can benefit you. Ideally, you should be working every day, rotating muscle groups so you never do the same group two days in a row. You need to improve that upper body strength big time. I'm not sure how good your school is but our fullbacks are benching 200lbs here. If you're on the line, you need to be bigger.\n\nOn catching, you'll need to work on that in practice and on your own time away from the weight room. Your routes should improve because cardio should be part of your training program.\n\nAnd this is the key part. If you really want it, there is NO offseason. Too many players indulge over their summers and come to camp out of shape. That summer could be the difference between you starting or sitting so think about that. \n\nAnd last but not least....Good Luck!

I think you should go for it. You never know what they might be loooking for in terms of new talent. If you want big muscles you need to come up with an exercise routine and also eat a lot of calories and protein. You also need to get dumbells or join a gym.\n\nFirst find a workout http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/workout.htm\n\nThen find a protein supplement or weight gainer that you can eat after you work out and before you go to sleep because that's when you grow muscle. http://www.powershack.net/Articles/Nutrition/Weight-Gainers.htm\n\nOther tips:\n\nIf you have a chance, subscribe to a bodybuilding magazine to get the best info on workouts/diet.\n\nDon't work out your arms (or any muscle) everyday, let them rest for a couple days because they need time to rest=grow. If you overdoit you might grow less (weird but true)\n\nKeep taking your protein powder/weight gainer everyday. Especially at night.\n\nStart by exercising your arms with 20 pounds each and build up to more weight. (unless you're already lifting more) you don't wanna start too high.\n\nDon't give up! you will see results if you have patience and keep lifting/eating.\n\nLastly, I don't think steroids are the answer unless you wanna be huge as in a total freak. You can get pretty big without them and keep your health too. \n\n\ngood luck :)

Well, I do think that supplements would be helpful but I dont' know of any single one that specifically helps shoulders get toned.  Steroids probably isn't a good idea because of health reasons.  My shoulders have been developing but I don't take any supplements.  I know each person is different though.  Try taking a look at some fitness magazines, you might find something there.  I would think after 6 years though you probably have good shoulder definition, maybe you just think you need more.

it seems to be that you should at least be over 100 lbs. you should try to build muscle by lifting weight and definately eat more protein and fat. Try protein shakes, they are good if you add peanut butter to them. mmmmm...

I don't exactly understand your question..... but from what I do understand it sounds like you need eat protien bars or shakes before you run. Also don't dehydrate youself, drink lots of water.

That is true Muscle weighs more than fat so if you up your protein intake (chicken, turkey are good sources) and do a little exercise you should start to put on weight.\nDont worry you dont have to be any kind of body builder or anything like that! Just a few days a week of some exercise you can enjoy.
