Let's Talk Supplements (again)

[icehog3]

Some good advice from Rob.

I would add this...calories galore! At his age, his metabolism is super efficient, not to mention all that cardio from hockey. When I was under 25, I could eat everything I wanted, and never gain an ounce of fat....I went from 145 lbs at age 16 to 215 at age 19, with super low body fat, by eating everything I could get my hands on. Supplements are great, but as his age and with what it sounds like his metabolism is like, good old fashioned calories will do him best.

Agree 100%. Personally, I go through a gallon of milk alone in less than 3 days, sometimes 2 -- and that's just milk. My appetite (a good one that is) really helped me pack on some good pounds. An old phrase that my friend used to say is: "You gotta eat big to get big"
