What's best for me

[brent1215]

Sorry for being such a noob coming here and asking questions, I know it gets annoying. But I'm looking for some help and thought this is the best place to do it.

I'm a 19 year old student athlete playing baseball. Right now I'm 6'3 180lbs. Once fall ball is over, we have roughly 14 weeks to lift and get ready for the spring season. I'm trying to pack on muscle and get in shape for the spring season. I've been lifting off and on for the past season and the only thing I take is whey protein.

My question is, what supplement would be best for me to help me get bigger and not waste my workouts?

Diet and training. I can already tell from your post you are not 100% dedicated to it so you should try that first.

I'm a pitcher

I am very dedicated. The past couple weeks I have been running 2-3 miles a day to get my legs in shape and started lifting last week.

I was a pitcher in the minor leagues.


You do not want to be buff as a pitcher. Size is the last thing you should worry about. If you want to pitch, lifting to get big is the WORST thing you can do. DO NOT lift heavy and try to bulk up as a pitcher. Bad idea.

Lifting is good, but keep it to high-rep medium-intensity workouts. You don't want to be max lifting and shit like that at all.


You are only 19, and over the next 2 or 3 years, you should thicken out quite a bit just from becoming fully mature.

The best thing you can focus on is a solid diet. Get a lot of meat in your diet and some good complex whole grain carbs. Don't drink either.

If you are running 2-3 miles everyday, you need to be eating a ton. The running is fine to stay in shape, but you need to eat a crap load of food to put any weight on when running so much. You could back it down to every other day and be just fine, and it will help you sustain more muscle mass in your upper body.
