to the 16 year old who wrote this thread. 3 key points you must dial in at the age youre in are:
1) the right training with the right form with the right weight. bodybuilders are NOT powerlifters (in most cases) you will try to go for SUPER heavy weights to impress the hoe cheerleaders in your school and you will never see your muscles grow. remember this!! work as heavy as YOU can lift, correctly!
2) C A L O R I E S and at your age I WOULD NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE CLEAN DIET CRAP. you dont build a thick bodybuilder physiqe by eating clean and dieting. you EAT TO GROW and you eat CLEAN to CUT. always remember this! following a strict diet at your age will eliminate the word HUGE from future compliments given to you. when you wake up in the morning tell yourself this: muscles do not grow on broiled chiken and brown rice. muscles do not grow on extra lean beef and oats. you need calories MILK, EGGWHITES, STEAKS, ICEREAM, SPAGGETI AND YOU CAN CHEAT YOUR WAY TO ALMOST ANY FOODS OUT THERE.
3) H O R M O N E S: you can be like many of us and start at 18-19 or you can be like many others that never turn pro and stuck at an amatuer show because they started at 30....all depends on your own needs/ambitions. before you start juicing make sure you got a good foundation on you since the drugs will not build it on you!! yes drugs will add 2 more inches on your arm but you will have to work for the next 2 inches past that like a mad man. it is not only the hormones that make the diff! it is a lot of hard calculated work, it is knowing your body, it is knowing your ego! and most important!! knowing your genetics.
