Bulk Up the Natural Way
There are many fantastic natural bodybuilding tips out there these days. However, there are also tons of misconceptions that are in circulation. That is basically the problem with the World Wide Web or the Internet. While there are so many information that are readily available online; not all of them are accurate and true. If you search online for tips on how to bulk up naturally, you will immediately be bombarded with tons of information and it would be difficult for you to choose what among them to use. Then again, the good new is that, out of all the advices and tips that you can find, there are still some good information out there that can help you achieve your goal. Here are a couple of them to help you out.
1.) You need to consume more calories. In other words, you need to eat more meals. Start eating six meals instead of the usual three. All these six meals needs to consist of varying levels of calories, so you can have that constant calorie supply.
2.) You also need the right combination of carbohydrates and protein. It is already known that protein is essential when it comes to repairing your damaged muscle tissues and building muscles, but if you really want to add optimum muscle mass, then you need a good dose of healthy carbohydrates. Carbohydrates will also give your body that needed energy supply, so if you want to find out how to build chest muscle, how to develop those huge biceps and the like, then start eating a good dose of protein and carbs.
3.) You also need to be very patient. It takes ample time before your muscles can start growing. Always stay optimistic and never ever give up whenever you do not get or see quick results. Keep following your natural bodybuilding program continuously and consistently because that is the only way in order to develop your muscles.

My 14 year old son want to start taking regularly a GNC product called AMP Amplified Mass type of a (Milk Shake drink), I’ve been told these powdered sport drinks are bad for the kidneys if taken on a regular basis, can you shed some light on this, hard to find any reports or negitive reports on the web. Thank you.

Hi Roy, I wouldn’t think that the AMP product itself would be a danger to your son’s kidneys. The issue is that it contains two things, protein and creatine, that if used improperly could potentially create problems.
The main thing you want to do is make sure that, with the creatine, your son is drinking plenty of water and not taking other creatine supplements at the same time. Creatine can causes the muscles to hold more water, so it is very important to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, cramping, etc.
The protein is also unlikely to cause any kidney problems. However, just make sure that your son is not taking more than his body can absorb. This means a MAXIMUM of 40 to 50g in one meal/serving at a time, and no more than 1.5 grams for every pound your son weighs per day.
As always, it is best to consult with your (or your son’s) doctor to get the appropriate medical advice regarding supplements and working out.
