Andrew is a 19-year old collegiate running back who wants to improve his performance while on summer break. He has seen muscle development in elite athletes and wants to increase his muscle mass, strength, and power. After talking about training regimen, nutrition, and supplementation with other athletes, he has decided to take several supplements to help him reach his goal. He notes not making quality food choices. He currently resistance trains two to three times a week and takes the following supplements: “mega” multivitamin/mineral supplement, boron, arginine, and whey protein.
