Question: What is the best body building supplement for me? I'm 14 years old. 5 foot 9 and 125 pounds. I'm starting high school football next and need to get more muscle on my lean body. Please let me know what you think the best body building supplement would be for me.

Answer: If you're only 14, you don't really need to take any extra supplements. Don't fall into the trap of taking supplements to "increase" gains. Just eat a ton of food. Make your mom buy you tons of meat, bread, and most of all, milk. Go through a traditional strength program while making sure you eat roughly 3-4000 calories a day. There is honestly no need to get any supplements that you can already get through natural diet. Check out the two links below. The first link is a basic strength program that you can start. I've seen people put on 30 pounds in 2-3 months using this basic workout program if done correctly. The second link has some nutritional info about getting bigger. Again, don't fall into the trap of supplements. You're too young and not experienced enough to need to take them.

Answer: Try trueprotein.com. They have everything, protein, carbohydrates, and oodles of supplements. Try bodybuilding.com as well but I find them a little confusing.

Question: What other activities are there for body building other than gym? I've been interested in building up my body for a long time now. I have repeatedly gone to the gym past couple of months.

Are there any other activities I could take which help build me up? Any examples and procedures are welcome! Thanks!

Question: How can i start body building from Start? I m new to start body building.. but i dont know how to start it.. i have dumbles...and weight rod... plz advice me starting steps for body building.

Answer: As a former body builder, I would say this. It depends on where you are and the reason why you want to be one. Step 1. Set a goal. Step 2. Set up a schedule. Step 3. Create a log book. Step 4. Join a gym. Specifically one that has certified trainers who can work with you to develop a routine that you can do on your own. Step 5. And this one is important. Get a complete physical from a doctor. This insures that you have no pre-existing medical condition that will limit you in pursuring your goal.

Question: Why do women like participating in body building? I'm not trying to offend anyone, but why do women like getting really big in body building? I don't understand why they'd want to reshape their bodies to look so masculine. Could someone, preferably someone who actually does female body building, answer this for me? Why do you like it? What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks?

Answer: well im not a female,but alot of females are the people who mostly think there fat,so then they start going to the gym,they start seeing muscles pop out in places.then they like the results.they do more and more and then thats what they become.
