Body Building | Workout routine


Hi. I am 14 years old + 5'10 and 140 lbs. My goal is to build muscle so i can be big and cut. I also want to lose some fat around my stomach and triceps. Theres only a little bit of fat but i want to get rid of it. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I workout my chest(flat + incline bench, 6 reps 6 sets), shoulders (military press 10 reps 6 sets), and triceps(not sure what you call it but i do 12-15 reps for 6 sets. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I do abs(leg raises 15 reps, 6 sets and crunches) and biceps (standing curls...not sure what the exact name is...and concentration curls 8 reps, 6 sets)..i take sundays off.I try to eat 2500 calories a day with 30 or less grams of fat. If there is something wrong or inefficient with the way i am working out plz tell me. Thanks

yup all i see here is cardio and the same
old routine time and again. it's great
that you have started very young and i
sure hope you continue that until you are
able. try to vary your exercises and
routines from time to time. the body
adapts at an alarming rate. it gets to a
point where the same old workout does
nothing much anymore.

Good start, you should eat more, and get more cardio, also, you should time yourself, so if you are taking 2 hours to workout then you can do the same amount in 1.5 or 1 hour you will get much stronger, more powerful and bigger and cut.

Good luck with your training.

Cool, well you should start with not a lot of weight on the barbell since you haven;t been training your legs, you might get injured. Condition them for 2 weeks, unless you already feel they are in shape, and then do lunges with dumbells by your sides.

well actually my mom is concerned with me doing heavy weights and she is very careful with her health in terms of what she eats and how much she exercises. i tried to tell her that and i just want to confirm if it was true. i also have a barbell to do squats with. i was wondering how to put down the weights after i am done with my squats since i dont have one of those rack things designed for squats

Well, now you have to make a choice i guess. Squats aren't really bad if you do not do one-three reps maxes. If you stick to 10 reps I think you should be fine. It is dangerous if you do a lot of weight, although safety first is the way to go. If you do cardui you might want to have enough rest time from your squats. For your age, well at least where i'm from, you are pretty tall. Anyways, I think the "myth" of weight training stunting growth is nothing but bs, I mean, who told you that, your 300 pound dad that doesn't do crap but watch tv, and complain about his weight and ftness yet he does not exercise to fix it(PLEASE ANYONE DO NOT TAKE THIS TO BE OFFENSIVE, IM JUST TRYING TO MAKE A POINT). I mean, an unhealthy person that doesn't have interest in getting in shape talking to you about what's healthy seems kinda silly.

i'm not sure about doing squats...i mean its not as safe as some of the other exercises...and also i am still growing since i am only a teeanger...so i was wondering if squats would be bad for me...anyways i have around maybe 130 lbs of dumbells altogether

Now the thing is to find out how heavy are your weights. Please tell me, because if they are heavy enough you could start squatting.

Well, doing the bike is more related to cardio, so that will help you lose the fat, not really build muscle. Do you have access to a gym? Please reply.

what are some exercises for back and legs? I have a bicycle at home with different lvls of difficultly. Would riding the bike for five minutes with a harder difficultly increase my legs muscles?

Yes do back, and also if you want you can do legs on wednesdays instead of doing your triceps. I mean, you dont want to look like a chicken (big upper body, skinny legs).

Dear Guest


That is actually an interesting program. i would keep that up but throw in "back" on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays (before biceps).


Your nutrition sounds ok, but you might want to have even more calories. But, you have to find out what works for you.

after 2 months of completing this program try switching it up and do a 4 day split with 2 days off.
