welcome to the musclechat board johnnyada1

i didnt start training until i was 19 ,so your question is really beyond my knowledge.i wouldnt imagine starting at 13 would stunt your growth.

i could be wrong though

theres some top guys post on here,im sure 1 of them started early

and would be able to help u out

steve

p.s what is your current training like.

Hey bud,

You weight 450KG!!!! lol

I take it your 45kg, ok lets just get one thing clear, stick to the right track and dont go down the bad road. You need to understand that you are still young and are still growing, so it is important that whatever you do does not put yourself in any form of risk.

I started weight training at 15, but when I was 17 I was in a nasty accident where I was forced to quit altogether. I started again last year and have found it to my liking once again.

Always remember that building muscle takes time, if you are close to a gym, I would suggest speaking with the trainers there as they sometimes run programmes for under 16s.

I think the minimum age to start training is 16. but I'm not quite sure (for schools anyway) but to start, why not try and do plenty of sit-ups and press ups. Combine that with plenty of walking and you are well on your way to becoming fit, but you will also feel better too. It may take a while but dont stray from what you are currently eating.

You need more than you know for you to grow and reach maturity!

If you want workout tips for home use, I'm sure that either myself or some of the other members can help you out with pleasure.

One question I ould like to ask is, how come you want to gain muscle mass at such an early age, and what do you do for sports currently?

Let us know, and all the best!

well to be honest all my friends are a lot taller and more muscular ( maybe that is due to adolesence) but i feel like a outkast

Sorry i got my weight wrong its newtons

dave · 01-02-2004, 09:19 AM

johnny just stick with the basics

deadlifts
squats
benchpress

4 sets per exercise

do this 3 times per week,every other day,

eat loads of protein turkey tuna chicken eggs etc

eat like a horse,dont worry about gaining a little fat

this can be burned off later,

just concentrate on getting big

youll soon be bigger than those other guys

johnnyada1 · 01-02-2004, 01:19 PM

thanks I have been trying to eat a lot but its harder than it sounds.

What about the delts and biceps ( I have my uncle's old dumbells and a really ancient barbell)

oh by the way i have been doing kung fu for seven years whoever asked me what current sports i was doing.

i do some bodyweight exercises eg legraises situps, pushups, dips nd a lot of pull ups.

thanks

Hey mate

BEst bet is to start off slow like Dave said. Stick with the basics and you wil notice gains.

It doesn't matter about your piers, some people hit height spurts later on, trust me you will find this out a bit later.

Don't forget to carbs up in the mornings, and loads of protein throughout the day, this will help build and retain muscle mass!!

BEst of luck and let us know how you get on!!

johnnyada1 · 02-02-2004, 05:32 PM

this is my daily diet ( since bout 2 weeks ago)

Brekfast: muesli and nutri grain

Mid morning snack: ham/turkey sandich, crisps and a sort of breakfast bar

Lunch: 2 sandwiches nutri grain, crisps and some nuts

Mid afternoon snack: 2 oranges and maybe a banana

Dinner: 2 chicken breasts rice and salad

nichtime snack: cereal or a breakfast bar.

Is this a good diet to use for building muscle. are ther any exercises that do not involve weight for the shoulders or deltoids.

I know this is a very boring diet for a teenager

hello mate your diet looks pretty good for your age,

certanly much better than myne was at your age.

do u like tuna?

we bodybuilders try and consume protein about every 2-3 hours

this way u keep the muscles constantly fed,and that way they can keep growing

good protein sources include

tuna
chicken
eggs
turkey
steak
milk

i notice u eat 6 times a day,your diet is fairly good
if u try and eat about 30 grams of protein at each meal,youll soon get big
but the bigger u get the more protein youre gonna have to eat.

pressups will hit the front of the shoulders a little bit,but really u need weight to build the shoulders up.

do u own a set of weights?

johnnyada1 · 03-02-2004, 07:43 PM

Yeh I have weights, I have 3 pairs of dumbells the weight going from 1.1 kg to 4.5 kg. I also have a really old barbell with 2 plates the weight is 7.5 lbs.

Yeh I like tuna oh and by the way the dumbells are my uncles.
