[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugby_Guy, post: 93277"] My nutrition consists more in trying to eat as much as possible and as healthy as possible. I take my protein in from natural products as opposed to the powders (I figure I can wait a bit). Right now I train to strengthen the joints more then actually gain weight at least to strengthen the knees. What is really getting athletes in general is the drive to get big and quick without paying attention to the smaller details, I agree that training hard is essential to make it to the top, I myself train 4 days a week deadlift or squat on each day with a short chest and arms session at the end. My cardio is done on fridays with some interval training and short sprints while carrying a ball. Right now I'm a light *******, and I continue to train. all this to say that both sides of this argument have a point. I would hesitate to use powders too extensively at 16, (remember to drink alot of water or else you get kidney stones) the essential is a good diet and a firm base to really start building muscle when you're older.
