Question for Predator Nutrition/Athletic Edge Nutrition

hello predator,
 
I have been training In the gym for around about 4 weeks now , i am just recovering from injury and i see an improvement , is there any way that i can improve my muscle size and recover from my injury at the same time so i can keep in shape both ways , i am only young yet and i play rugby for my local team , i am in good shape and i am bigger than most of the lads on my team but now i have lost size because of injury, i was just wonderin is there anyway that i could add size on , and increase my muscle tone around my body. I have been reading good things about your products and i am just wondering whether this product ( athletic edge nutrition ) would be any good for me to improve myself thanks, just let me know predator
thanks
steve

As a general rule and I know you're going to hate to hear this. ;) But we don't recomend our supplements for anyone under the age of 18. If you have your parents ok and are going to go ahead anyway.

The best and first cause of action would be:

1. Creatine, can be straight or in a preWO product, 3-5g a day
2. Beta-alanine supplement (IntraXCell) We actually have alot of high school and college athletes using this product
2. Protein powder, in case you don't get enough in your diet. 1-1.5grams of protein per lb is a great range.

At your age, I wouldn't go outside of the above, or mess  with any hormonal products ect.

You'll be back and strong in no time.

Hi Steve

It is great to hear of your interest in the Athletic Edge Nutrition range, as well as seeing you have well defined goals and a dedication to improvement.

I have to say this to all the young guys but training and diet are absolutely paramout for training, whether you are 17 or 70. Fail to get these right and everythign else will suffer.

Having said that,  Athletic Edge Nutrition products are a good choice in my view. Anyone engaging in sports activities, gym work, sprinting etc will find that risk of injuries and soreness is elevated due to the pounding their body is taking.

Personally, I think Intrabolic which is essentially focused on amino acids, and intraxcell, as mentioned above by Athletic Edge Nutrition are great choices, especially for sportsmen, as the products are designed very much for them (we have a lot of MMA athletes using intrabolic and intrxcell for instance).

Let me know if you have any questions but if you could post up an example of diet and training split then that info will be valuable to us.

Hi Steve

Can you show me a typical training routine for your legs and upper body? Break it down with exercises, sets, reps and weight used. That will give me more of an idea where you stand now and what is most suitable for you.

basicallly when i go to the gym i allways start of with pull ups , this stretches my muscles and gets me ready to workout.
When i go to gym now i train one different muscle therefore if i was training my legs i would , do squats with the bar and 10 kg on each side 3 sets on 8 reps, use the machines to lift with my legs and a few leg raises, on legs i tend to do 3 sets and 8 reps on each exersize

for chest i do bench press start of with 50 kg 1 set 12 reps then as i do 1 set i increase the weight for example 5 kg and then i increase the weight further and decrease the number of reps, i also do decline , dumbells 26 30 kg 1-2 sets 10-12 reps. for back i do lat pull down , pull ups , use many of the machines.
