5x5 is a great workout. protien and creatine before and after workouts and glutamine after. 25g pro before and 5g crea. 50g pro, 5g crea, 5-10g glut after... LOTSA FOOD and SLEEP!!! do that and he will blow up

football workouts are much different from bodybuilding...he has to create a workout that is position specific. lots of explosion excercies, power cleans hang cleans squats one legged squats, etc... I mess with resistance bands, chains all sorts of shit.

what position is he bro? that would help alot. I am an olineman so I eat like a mother fucker.

what position? I did core lifts and basic lifting with plyometrics. I was a WR/punter and this helped my speed a lot!

workout advice above is spot on.

For creatine 5g ED early in the morning is good.

For protein he needs to hit 1.5-2g per KG of body weight. Since he is young and growing I would recommend the upper limit of that. I would recommend he obtain the majority of his protein through solid foods like eggs, steak and chicken and also supplement with 2 or 3 x 50g shakes per day. He needs to take the shakes between meals. A pre and post work out shake is also in order. Throw in 40-60g of carbs in the post workout shake too.

This may seem like a little bit for a 16 year old but his metabolism should be like a rocket.

My philosiphy on protein is "within reason" no more than 400g/day. 2g of protein per pound of body weight. I can keep muscle with only 100 grams per day but that is very low -- little gain, only form. I can not build with less than 200 grams / day. Age matters; greatly. Buy The Big Green Machines cookbook.!!


I may be back

Every high school football player I train is on KreAlkalyn for their base Creatine. Protein, I leave up to them. I do recommend a lot of chocolate milk post workout. A ton of college level strength trainers have found that it tends to work as well as any powdered protein supplement. That said, I also recommend that they add a scoop of their favorite protein powder to their chocolate milk. Taste is pretty much the most important thing to these kids. Syntha-6 seems to be the most popular with my clients...I guess they like the taste.
