13 Mistakes By Teens

Have you ever heard the statement that "Youth is wasted on the young" or "I wish I could be in my teens again"? If you are a teenager and heard that statement you are probably looking in the eyes of a middle-aged mom or dad and have no idea what they are talking about.

To you being a teen comes with many restrictions, can't drive, can't drink, don't make any money at the crummy job and have to go to that school thing that always gets in the way of a good time.

What this "old person" in front of you is trying to say is that the youth always are making mistakes and not taking advantage of there time and energy as a teenager. I am a big believer that experience is the best form of learning.

Once you experience something you know how your body will respond to that stimulus negatively or positively. But sometimes it is better to listen to someone older and more experienced about what things you should and should not do. This will save you a bunch of time and energy in anything that you do.

Don't get caught up in the training routine's that the pros put out in the magazines, those will only lead to over-training. Remember these guys are on steroids and have all day just to lift, eat, and rest. They don't have to go through 7 plus hours of school and all that other junk we have to do.

The routines they do are good for them, but may not be good for you. You have heard many times before, no two people are created equal, and this applies to bodybuilding also. So when it comes to training go back to the basic compound exercises and keep it simple.

It is very important to not neglect any muscle, especially your larger muscles, like legs and back. Those are two commonly neglected muscles, and the two muscles that if you get them big everything else will follow. You should base your routine around the compound exercises, these are exercises that involve multiple muscles to help move the weights.

For example bench, you are primarily working out your chest, but you are also getting help from your front delts and your triceps. I will list the main compound exercises for each primary muscle.

Energy Flows. Your thoughts are magnetic all contain a specific frequency. In other words, they are energy. Therefore you always get more of what you focus on. This is true for everything including natural bodybuilding. Like water and electricity it will always follow the path of least resistance.

Over the past thirty years, the once ???cult hobby??™ of bodybuilding has become an incredibly popular mainstream sport. Unfortunately this has led to an influx of greedy companies, corrupt magazines and self-appointed fitness experts that feed on the naivety of their targets. To help you avoid confusion, I will clarify in this article what the beginner bodybuilder must focus on to train and build muscle.

Become a Great Teen Bodybuilder

If you want to be a good teen bodybuilder then carry on reading this article. I am going to tell you about basic teen bodybuilding. This article will tell you about reps and sets, how much weight, how many days, goal setting, motivation and more!

How Many Days

To start off with, you need to know how may days you can train each week. When you start bodybuilding 3 days a week is ideal. When you get more experienced you can train 4 and 5 days a week.

Also, any bodybuilder will recommend you to train 3 days a week and each body part one a week. So, say you trained Mon, Tues and Fri.

* Mon: Chest, Biceps and Abs
* Tues: Back, Calves and Shoulders
* Fri: Quads, Hams, Triceps and Abs

Training

If you want to get big, you need to train big (like you haven't heard this before) so let me break this down. Train 3 - 5 times per week and keep your sessions short. By short I mean under an hour. Train one muscle group per week or every 5 days... do not combine 2 large muscle groups on the same day. Your big muscle groups are chest, back and upper legs. Below are three examples for splits:

3 Day Week

Mond: chest, tris, calves
Wed: back, bis, shoulders
Fri: thighs

receive emails every single day from aspiring muscle-builders all over the world, and one of the most common questions I’m asked is “does drinking really affect the muscle growth process?”

I’m sorry to say it, but yes, too much alcohol will almost definitely have a significant negative impact on your muscle-building results.
