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.

Whey protien powder from the health food store. 2 scoops of this has 37 g of protien. Then just take omega 3 fatty acid tablets.

Lean And Clean protein powder works best for me and CLA which helps you not to lose lean muscle mass but still burn fat both bought at local health food store, I am sure that it is in stores in the UK, Hell you gave us the Rolling Stones ,that is the least we could do

go to walmart (yes walmart) get a big container of creatine and whey, work out 6-7 days a week take the whey before and after workouts (this is when the muscle needs it the most). take the creatine with sugar of some kind (mix it well with orange juice and it isn't too bad) and you can add the whey to the creatine mix. It needs to be blended by a blender for at least 2 minuets. Creatine is the main building block of protein and you should take it 3-4 times a day. Whey is a complete protein, and it is used within a half hour because it doesn't have any fat. Egg is a good high fat slow releasing protein. the creatine should be cycled, 3-4 times a day for no more than a week and then 1-2 times a day for a week or too, because the body realizes the external source and doesn't put it to it's full potential. Creatine and proteins are the safest way to gain because they are internally made! Creatine helps most with muscle recovery, and if you hit the gym hard you won't have a muscle ache in the morning with proper nutrition. I did what I just listed here for a week and gained 45 pounds on benchpress.\n\ndon't forget to scretch well

Creatine supplements are bad for you. Eat a steak.

For a multi-vitamin i take "Liquid health complete" as for minerals i like "Concentrace Trace Mineral Drops" beyond that i do the usual Whey protein, L-Glutamine, Creatine and Tribulus.

All you need is a multivitimin and maybe some whey protein for weight lifting. Forget all the suppliments. All you need to do is eat plenty of protein and lift some weights.

you should go with 100% whey only.  you don't want the blends of protein that have whey and possibly stuff like casein protein.  whey is broken down in roughly 30-60 mins which is what you want right after workout...so you have protein to repair/build muscle.  casein isn't bad but it is used up over a few hours...which is better before you sleep or in the morning so your body has a constant supply of protein.\n\ntry optimum nutrition 100% whey...chocolate mint is my favorite.

Personally, I have had the best benefits with Whey shakes.  More protein is better, rule of thumb is about your body weight in pounds equal to grams of daily protein.  Exp 150 lbs = 150 grams of protein.  You should also take a multi vitamin to help your boby utilize the protein.  Ignore the brands, read the labels.  Don't forget the carbs!  Protein is energy too but you'll need carbs to fuel your work out.  Simple carbs like sugar, high calorie deserts during or around your work and pasta, bread, grains the night before.

I use GNC Creadrive. It has the carbohydrate transport system included, so you can just mix it with water (don't need juice). I've have gotten good results with it combined with GNC whey protein.

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.

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.

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.

Stay away from Creatine!  The best thing you could use is amino fuel and lots of protein.  Creatine will eat away at your stomach and give you a gastric intestinal disorder.  Creatine does not give you muscle it just pumps up the fluids.  Unless Creatine has changed in the last few years; I am telling you this from witnessing it first hand.  My husband was in the hospital three times from abdominal pain and runny stools.  Just eat healthy and use more weights with less reps.

Creatine and Protein work when used properly.  \n\nMuscle Milk was originally developed as a dog food, and NO xplode is an arginine supplement.  So they aren't the best.\n\nI recommend AST's products \nhttp://www.ast-ss.com/\nand they offer some very good advice on how to work out on their website.\n\nAlso look for advice here:\nhttp://www.abcbodybuilding.com/

Not positive on this but I think there are some non processed whey powders. I take Jay Robb's which tastes pretty good and provides 24g per serving, it has no HGH.
