Im 17 (2001), from the USA. I'm 6 feet tall. I Weigh: 146 pounds, Chest: 38 inches, Biceps: 11.75 inches, Waist: 32 inches, Thighs: 21 inches Calf: 15 inches. My aims are listed at the bottom of the page.

How and why I started.

My original question was related to my Pecs. I really wanted to change them and am now well on the way to what I want, even after only a few months. As you see below, I am working out each day at the moment, but may change that.

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! At first whole body sessions are perhaps best, but that's not a rule.

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! It is useful to make up an inclined board too. See Routines page too.

Will is asking re shoulder and back exercises. The upright rowing exercise hits much of the shoulder area. Hold the bar, close grip at arms length, overhand grip.Raise the bar close to the body so the elbows peak above shoulder line with the bar level with your chin. Dumbells can be used too.
To build the upper "Traps" and shoulders, use "Shrugs". The bars are held alongside or in front and you literally raise or "shrug" the shoulders. Alternate front dumbell raises (beware swinging again) hit the front deltoids. (lift to level arms not vertical is an alternative). Side raises, (again possibly to midway only) hit the side deltoids and rear to some extent. It is also possible to do this face down on a bench, raising out to the side, straight arm to level or a little above.

Sergey Litvinov (at 19)

Remember that Sergei (left) has been training seriously since early teens. You can't get a solid bod like his overnight. It is normal though to gain quite a lot early in training.

Comparative pics. (the left guy has trained for YEARS not months!)

Labelled example

Will (November 01)

Will is the pic (right). He has already a solid start. the deltoids (F andTd) are well marked in his pic too, but are not tensed.See the second routines page Will.

Will has clearly made a great start here. All the muscle groups show well already, even compared with the other pose.

Bigger or simply better toned?

The use of weights can have these two effects.
