Hi Liam,
Thank you for your enquiry.
I would not recommend that you take Hyperboilc Mass as this is not suitable for individuals that are under the age of 18.
I would recommend that you follow the below mentioned diet as well as the training plan. I have also included supplements that you can safely use for your age group.
Muscle Fuel STS This product consists of 49g of Carbohydrates, and 46g of Protein. I recommended you to take 2 servings daily (servings halved), one at 10am and another at 3pm. The Proteins are commonly found in food stores such as milk and cheese, while the Carbohydrates are derived from corn maltodextrine.
Fast Grow Amino Stack. Amino acids are the chemical units or "building blocks" that make up proteins. Protein provides the structure for all living things. Next to water, protein makes up the greatest portion of our body weight. Protein makes up the muscles, ligaments, tendons, organs, glands, nails, hair and is essential for bone growth. Enzymes and hormones that catalyze and regulate all bodily processes are protein. Fast Grow Amino Stack provides all the amino acids needed to support protein synthesis. Take 4 to 8 tablets 2 to 3 times daily. ie. Before training, after training and before bedtime. For general supplementation, take in-between meals.
Your dietary intake should resemble the following;

This does not include warm-up. If you reach failure before you can complete the sets, lower the weight by 20-30%, and continue until failure. If failure does occur, you can stop training that set as the muscle has reached failure twice, and normal function will not occur until recover has take place.
