Bodybuilding question?
I am 14 years 2 months, 5 ft 11, 63 KG, athletic build.
I am trying to get into bodybuilding. How long should i work out for?
what weights should i use? how many sets/reps?
how many times a week should i go to the gym and for how long?
Finally, is it true that lifting heavy weights at my age stunts growth? Please answer this, if anything. I dont want to be a midget.
thanks for your time ![]()
just to clear things up; i started puberty a long time ago (i am a very early starter) . Would that mean that my growth will not be stunted or what?? and yes i plan to take this very seriously
I am an acsm personal trainer
Body building can be a good activity. If you are really serious you would want to work out at least 3 times a week minimum, but no more than 6 days a week. As for how long let your body tell you how it feels, if you push too much you might hurt yourself.
as for how much weight start light especially at your age. Before you reach puberty your bones are still growing and lifting too much weight will stunt them, but if you are past puberty your bones are already hardening. So, focus on higher reps like 12-15 and do 2-3 sets. AGAIN, use LIGHT weights. As you get stronger increase weight and change up your routine.
