I am 17 years old and have been training with weights and running for about one year now. During the summer I wake up, run, workout with weights, then go about my day. During my training i have jumped from 125 lbs. to 150 lbs. over the course of one year or so. This is a very slow gain. I have recently considered taking the hormone release pill called SUPERDROL. If anyone has any information, opinion, or experience with the supplement it would be much appreciated.

25lbs in a year is not at all slow, depending on how much has been fat of course.

Superdrol, from what I understand, is effectively an oral steroid that hasn't been banned yet. It comes with the regular dangers of oral steroids like stress on the liver and the after effect of a plummet in T levels as you come off, making post cycle therapy needed.

IMO, If you're gaining 25lbs of lean mass a year at the moment then you shouldn't have a need for such a drug. Think about it again when you're 200lbs and have educated yourself on steroids and pro-hormones a lot more so yo can at least make an educated judgement for yourself.

As Typhon said.

But the main concern i would have is your age. 17, there's definately no need to think about hormone enhancing products yet. Your T levels etc will still be peaking!

I'd personally give it a good couple of years at least, with a good diet and hard work.

Thanks for the Info guys! Yea I was in swimming sophomore and junior year, so to answer your question, for the most part I am skin bones and muscle. Shortly after the swim season was over in January, I took up Muay Thai and I am loving the workout, this has also kept me in good cardiovascular condition, and helps keeping the fat odd. Not only do I take Muay Thai, on the days that I don't go, I take a good 20 - 30 minute run. On that note, do any of you have advice on quick and easy things I can eat? During the summer I have a pretty loose schedule and am not always at home to eat my scheduled breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

The idea of a teenager taking superdrol (or anydrol) is a very bad idea. Its also not a good idea to double post.

I read what you posted in the other forum. Your diet is unfortunately, what most teens diets are like. I know this, because I'm a teen.. hah.

I gained a ridiculous amount of mass/weight over the course of a year (over 50 pounds). This is because I started working at McDonalds. But to counterweight me working there, I started going to the gym 5 days a week. Hard work and dedication kept the fat off of me, but gave me the protein from the beef and chicken that I ate.

My guess is your mass problem has a lot to do with your diet, not your lifting.

Sorry about the double post to everyone, first time on ANY forum as a matter of fact so I'm still learning the rules of the road. I've decided NOT to take Superdrol due to the side effects, especially at my young age. Clintg, I actually work at a Chick-Fil-A about three to four times a week, so I feel your pain on not being able to eat healthy. They dont even let me out of the store to go get food somewhere else, Rediculous!

But I guess my question to everyone NOW, would be if anyone had any healthy diet suggestions? things I can take to work and eat that are not too hard to make? Hell, just anything that can help me plan a good week by week diet?

Well ideally you should find out your BMR and add roughly 500 calories to this for muscle growth. (if that is your goal)

But as a rough guide you want at least 6 meals a day, and 1g of protein per 1lb of body weight that you weigh. This is just a rough guide.

Quick snacks you could pack are things like high protein sandwiches in wholemeal bread. Or high protein salads.

to clarify the above post, BMR is 'BASAL metabolic rate', which doesn't take into account normal activity (think of BMR as your comatose caloric needs).

Take BMR and multiply by an 'activity modifier', usually 1.24-1.5, to get your estimated caloric needs. Then add 10% to that to get a 'bulking' intake, or subtract 10% if you're trying to lean out.

But, you'd still need to monitor your progress as these formulas only get you estimates, not the reality of your caloric needs.
