I read in the weight lose post that you were a trainer for football any good ideas of putting some more weight on my son would be much appreciated. He lost about 15 pounds since he met his first girlfriend:shrug: His coach is pissed I spoke to him the other day. He normally starts on "D" but he needs the weight . They started yet another speed camp this week which I'm sure he is going to drop even more with the workouts they do.....I am a bit of a obsessed football mom and will do whatever................he doesn't like the protien drinks AT ALL...........

PLEASE HELP

First thing that is incredibly important is the age of the player. as well as his ability to gain lean muscle mass via training, et...

I do want to clarify, I was a personal trainer in college, and continued to do so while coaching football. (Not to be confused with the Athletic trainer commonly found in HS, Colleges and Pro Teams)

Although I have a coaching minor, and took some of those courses, they relate more to the kinesiology aspect, as well as the injury aspect of training in cohort with surgeons and other therapists the higher level the sport)

Just making sure we are on the same page, and not to mislead.

Actually, that is one of the things I do as a personal trainer in developing the goals of my clients. Which often times is how to gain muscle mass. I do need the height as well, other than the weight...but 195 lbs is considered to be pretty large especially for a 16 year old. (Considering I was recruited as a D1 and D2 athlete for football, but graduated around that weight...I lifted for the beach my Senior year!)

16 year olds that lead active lifestyles are hard to build mass on simply do the rate of their metabolism, and the efficiency of their system when it comes to processing nnutrients, proteins, carbohydrates etc., the only true regimen to follow is an increase in proteins to help build and restore muscle as it is being built ( keep in mind everytime you lift weights you are tearing the muscle, and the protein helps regenerate it) as well as he would definitely have to increase his carbohydrates to help gain the mass you may be looking for.

Those are just the first steps to look at, and if he doesn't like Protein shakes he can get protein from other sources such as Tuna, Chicken breasts, Red Meat, and other forgot abouts such as kidney beans, lima beans, etc.)

ALso his weight training regimen needs to be montiored to accomplish his goals, I understand the BFS program that typical HS's run, which is ok when developing athletes, but mass is gained as well as strengthe with Less reps and more weights. His muscular endurance will come from his other activities, but thisphilosophy is designed to add muscle thus increasing lean muscle mass and weight. (I also would have each muscle group worked to failure by utilizing a drop set method at least once a month.) Very effecitve at stimulating the muscles, and shocking them back into training and getting the body to pass plateaus which accompnay most weight trainers.

I hope this info helps, and if you have any more questions feel free to ask. If I am around and have time I will be sure to answer.

dogface -thanks for taking the time to write I appreciate it greatly.

I pulled his girlfriend a side last night! I told her that he needs to put on some weight or she is going to have a front row seat watching her boyfriend get his azz knocked around the football field NOT PRETTY.................." I'M DESPERATE"

There is nothing in this world NOTHING that compares to the joys of a "HUGE" football fan watching her oldest son plow right over the line and sack a quarter back.............NOTHING:D
