Hey,

I am new to the forum and I was wondering if you could advise me on a few things...

At what age do you think it is safe to start body building, I've started doing a bit more and I'm only 14 years old. Is this too young?

This is what I do:

2 * 10 Bicep Curl/Hammer Curl
2 * 10 Tricep exc. - not sure what its called, put weights on shoulder and push up, its sort of difficult to explain
2 * 10 Lateral raise
2 * 10 Shoulder Press
2 * 10 Uptight Row


I use the same amount of weight for all of them - 9KG

Is this too much? Or what exercises to you guys recommend?

with that weight u have nothing to worry about,
i started working out at 12 doing pushups and using only 15lbs, just working with u body weight , wont hurt ,

[kenney]

nothing to worry about man. with that routine, you will be laying the foundation for more serious bodybuilding. oh and if you can lateral raise 9kg, you might want to up the weight on your shoulder press

go for it man!!!!

[soccer21]

but yea i'd up my weight on the shoulder presses

do u have a home gym or are you a member of a gym somewhere?

[db11]

actually i made a mistake with that, I can't lat raise 9k. And I weight train at home, I have some dumbells and weights- nothing major.

i personally stick to 3 sets of15 reps untill ur 15 years old then 8-10 reps but with a few more exercises until your 16 then u should be able to do anything u want. really just depends on when u grow and how much u still have to grow but when ur 16 u should be fine to da heavy lifting

thanks, Its difficult to tell whether I have "grown" or not lol. i will use your advise though.
