Andy is now 18. He has been working out for roughly 4 years now.
Patrick and Andy write here for you. See Counter Jan 23/2007 His Website E.mail ANDY Here 380	He tells me he has no access to a gym etc at present. Height 6 foot , weight 155 lbs, waist 33", chest 35.5", biceps 13 inches flexed, thighs 21" and calves 14". I have a good measuring tape but I can say that my arms have had some substantial inprovment, my pecs and abs have developed a fair amount and my legs are good to i have nice calves.

How and why I started.
I have done training
Jeremy at 14, not Andy. Jeremy was a lot leaner, or more "cut" as you can see.	The page is a combined effort. The training suggestions below relate to teens up to 15 or so, or initially ANY teen new to training. In other words don't run until you can walk! The pages most useful to you are the beginner article, and the one on abs, since that is the area you want to work on first. The abs are very important for posture and for general body form for twists and turns. Bear in mind that there are alternative exercises there. You are NOT expected to do all of them! Soccer players need strong upper and inner leg muscles too. It is useful to make up an inclined board too. See Routines page too.

Sergey Litvinov (at 19)	Remember that Sergei (19 in the pic) has been training seriously since early teens. You can't get a solid bod like his overnight. Check also the younger Alexey Wolf for a closer comparison. Ummm Well that looks like a six pack! Andy has a pull-up bar to work on. He does 3 sets of "crunches" until failure, "till I feel the burn" and also on the bar is doing 3 sets of pull-ups and reverse pullups (that's with overhand and underhand grip) Overhand - Lats, Underhand - biceps. In each case he has a 2 min break. He does these exercises every other day.
Comment The pic shows

Original pic.	Suggested workouts.	My training history.
	Good looking shot here! Andy had already built strong arms at 14, and with exercises for the shoulders and back he should soon broaden out. He's already very keen on sorting out his abs as well! Hence the nickname!

Bigger or simply better toned?

The use of weights can have these two effects.
