      First off I was directed to this forum by a member in a different forum that I frequent.

      Anyway, I'm a senior in high school, 5'7" 150 pounds. I haven't maxed out since my freshman year in anything and haven't lifted much either due to a serious knee injury that has kept me out of sports. However, I've decided I want to get back into lifting and get big.

      I need some recommendations on where to start though. I would like some suggestions on a workout regimine that would be good for a beginner that would also net some nice gains at a reasonable pace.

      I also need some suggestions for supplements to take. I'm clueless on this topic.

      I just need someone to point me in the right direction....

      Thanks a lot!

      Pigmeat - I've been snoopin around for about an hour now and just simply don't know where to start....Seems like all the threads I read are all designed for the guys that have quite a bit of experience lifting already. I hate to admit it but all this has me really confused right now, but I'm hoping to catch on quick!

      Start with the mass excercises. Bench, Squats and Deadlifts, research their movements then work on the smaller muscles.

      Also this website will help you learn the diffrent bodybuilding terms and excercises.

      Welcome bro! Supplements: Multi-Vit, protein powder, r-ala, Vit-C, Flaxoil caps or the Flaxseed oil (Barleen's is a very good brand), EFA's, cod liver oil caps, red yeast rice for lowering cholesterol, parsley and garlic caps for bp and cholesterol, saw palmetto for prostate, L-Arginine, lactobacillus acidophilus for digestive system, and Glucosamine & Chondroitin for the joints. Milk thistle and Liv-52 when on cycle.
      This is all the supplements i take, but you can get by on the Multi-Vit, Vit-C, Flaxoil, r-ala and protein powder to supplement the protein in you diet.

      I like this suggestion alot. Start with basic compound exercises. Compound exercises are movements which enlist several different muscles.

      Start out with light weight, enough to keep you in the 10-12 rep range. You'll want to acclimate your muscles to moving around weight, before hitting them hard.

      here's another website which illustrates a whole bunch of exercises: https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.htm

      I'll PM you an example routine, rather than take up alot of space here. Check out one of these websites, and learn what the correct form is.

      I repeat, LEARN PROPER FORM AND USE IT! That's why I suggest lighter weight at first.

      Forget about anabolics for now. You're at an age where you've got all the Testosterone you need swimming around your body naturally! Food is the most effective anabolic that you can get your hands on right now. As far as diet, search around, there's some good info here.

      Let us know if you have any more questions.

      Wow thanks for the all helpful replies guys!

      Blink - I think I like your outlined workouts the best, although I'd like to add to to the regimine....

      I've taken some different suggestions and modified them to form a 5 day routine.....

      Monday - Chest
      5 sets 12 reps bench
      5 sets 10 reps incline (alternate w/declines each week)
      5 sets 8 reps dips
      3 sets skull crushers - Blink - what the hell is a skull crusher?

      Tuesday - Back
      6 sets 6 reps deads
      6 sets 10 reps rows
      4 sets "X" reps presses - Blink - whats are "reps presses"?
      3 sets 5 reps pullups

      Wednesday - Legs
      6 sets 12 reps squats
      6 sets 12 reps calf raises
      3 sets 10 leg curls

      Thursday - Shoulders
      5 sets x 10 lateral dumbbell raise
      5 sets x 10 front dumbbell raise
      4 sets x 8 bent over dumbbell delt raise

      Friday - Arms
      5 sets x 10 tricep pressdown
      3 sets x 8 barbell tricep press
      5 sets x 10 Barbell curls
      5 sets x 8 Preacher bench curls
      3 sets x 8 Reverse curls

      Reason for the high number of reps is I want to start at at relatively easy weight to get my muslces ready to lift more often.

      Also, I want to be lifting EVERY weekday, not just mon/wed/fri.

      Anyway, what do you guys think of this plan? and badasz - what creatine, protein, and multivitamin would you recommend?


      THANKS A LOT GUYS!!!!!!!!

      Bro, don't lift everyday. It will lead to overtraining. Trust us! If you eat well, get enough (at least 300g ) protein, you WILL grow and you WILL get stronger!

      Hmmm.... So should I incorporate the different days together but cutting a little bit of the workout?

      Like this:

      Monday - Chest
      Tuesday - running and that kinda stuff
      Wednesday - Legs/Back
      Thursday - running and that kinda stuff
      Friday - Shoulders/Arms

      OR.......Do you think that workout that you had in that one post is what I need I Blink?

      Sorry if I'm making a fool of myself, I guess you could say I'm a noob
