Iām not sure what itās like for you guys in the states but for me in the UK whey protein works out as a pretty well priced option in terms of price per 20g of protein. Iāve just got 5kg for Ā£33, thatās 200 servings.
It donāt change the fact that this kid needs to learn how to eat real food, budget and learn to cook. Just thought I would mention it!

So from blackbelt protein.com.au i bought 5 kilos of whey concentrate and 4 kilos of casein,1 kilo of creatije monohydrate and two shakers for 240 dollarsā¦
And what i usually do is go to the gym and do random stuff which is stupid and i overtrained. ā¦
Yesterday i ate fuck all and on saturday im going food shopping.
When my protein etc has come i will start my training using the program kd13 gave.
Also im not trying to argue or agitate anyone.
Readon i have second guessed what people have said is because with protein shakes it adds up alot more than it does to biy a bunch of dood because my mum can only afford 400-500 for a two week shop and once all the meat,school food, veggetables are bought theres no money for me to get food i need
So it is easier to buy protein in bulk because im not some rich motherfucker like you all think i amā¦
Im poor duh
Poor? Iām not sure you actually know the meaning of the word unless your joking
when my dad was growing up he was 1 of 8 kids, had an alcoholic dad who drank all the money away. He was so poor they was living off hand outs and the loose change they could steal from his pockets when he passed out. He had to cut up the kitchen vinyl flooring to make soles for his shoes.
Be thankful to your mum and for what you have, Iām not sure itās just training and nutrition you need perspective on but I have to keep reminding myself your so young.

I thought he said 18. Either way get a job and buy your own food.
Honestly as a mom, I would buy him food, but if wanted protein he would have to buy that himself.

I drink a shake in the morning, and I also use creatine, so I am the one setting the bad example.

Yo it was really cheap protein!!
And today at the gym i went with my mate and decided to test on strength.
The max weight the gym has for the smith machine is 100kilo so i squatted that did 2 good reps and on the final rep wasnt so goodā¦
Smoth bench 70 kilos two reps one good second was bad.
Leg press only goes to 100 and i did alot of reps on that.
Te dumbells in the gym the highet one is 35kilos and i can farmers walk with both the 35kilo which is 70 in total and its easy.
And yeah for those wondering the gym doesnāt have a barbell to do normal squat or bench press so uss smith machine.
Note :still not fully recovered and felt weak today. If had more weight for smith machie could squat more .
Are these decent strength?
Or really weak?
And our neighbour has chickens and ducks so they are giving us 2carlton of eggs and 2 duck eggs a weak for free because they know i am into gym.
Tomorrow we r going food shopping so il let yous know what i can get
Idk when il be getting the eggs but they offered today which is very nice of them
@Chris_Colucci tomorrow il be seeing if i can buy lots of bananas ,some whole chickens,potatoes,nuts,oats and beans
Provided it was full range of motion thatās about the same weight I could do and Iām 18 so Iād say for 14 itās pretty good. How come the weights only go up to 100kg? Are there no more weight plates at all?
Yes it was full range motion bro and yeah no more platesš¢ the gym will hopefully be getting more sometime next year
My legs were good today its just arms i think i overtrained a few weeks ago and kept working out so was feeling weak on the bench. I noticed my front delts were real sore today
If youāre only doing 2 or 3 reps the weights youāve got will be plenty for the time being anyway. Just be consistent and eat well like the others have said. Oh and also train back as hard as the rest of your body. Thatās what I wish Iād done when I was younger.
Best of luck.
Edit: Also listen to everything the people on these forums tell you no matter how much you think differently. Theyāve all been through the same point as you and know what would be best. A good program and diet will make you stronger and bigger than you can imagine, things donāt need to be complicated. A lot of beginners on here, including myself, really need this hammered home to them.
