Best protein powders for muscle gain?
in Hobbies & Leisure ·
Good afternoon—I’m looking for some insight regarding muscle development and general physiology.
I’m 15 years old and have been training kickboxing for about a year and a half now.
Since I started, my physical appearance has improved significantly, but there is one specific area where I am hitting a total standstill.
To be blunt, my legs still look tiny and scrawny—and by that, I mean my calves; my quads are actually quite developed compared to them.
Essentially, my upper body looks massive in comparison to my lower half—if you saw these two parts of my physique separately, you’d probably think they belonged to two different people.
I’m about 5'7" and weigh roughly 120 pounds, so perhaps my weight is part of the issue.
What I really want to know is: are there any specific exercises targeting calf growth?
Additionally, is there an effective way to pack on weight quickly? I considered taking creatine to help build mass, but I’ve read that minors shouldn't use it. Also, can creatine cause excessive fat gain? I’m aiming to put on maybe another 10 to 20 pounds.
If anyone here has experience dealing with this, I would truly appreciate your input on any of these points!
Thanks in advance!
