which muscle groups train well together?
If you decide to focus on two muscle groups each time you work out, does it really matter which two you choose? I am thinking that the following work well together, but would be keen to hear what others think:
Chest & Triceps
Back & Biceps
Legs & Shoulders
Abs (can go anywhere)
16 y/o Starting off - Any tips/help?
Hey, Im 16 and decided i really wanted to gain muscle&become stronger. Though my goal is not becoming a body builder, I just want to become less skiny, stronger, more athletic, because i play basketball. I want to work on my back, chest, biceps, triceps, shoulders and legs. My fat % is pretty low, i want to keep it a little low though. Im pretty athletic; my vertical jump is like 34 inches and im really quick compared to most others - even though ive never really worked on agility. i run like 3.1 miles in 18 minutes so nothing wrong with my condition.
Diet isnt really my problem, i know what to eat, when to eat etc and i can always ask my brother.
My brother bodybuilds but thats just not my goal and i thought maybe some people out here have been working on a similar goal as mine. I just dont really now how to start. what about weights? how many reps and sets etc? i currently do (for me) medium weights for about 4x12kg (26.5lbs). is that alright? sometimes i cant make all 12 reps, it slowly goes down like i start with 12 ->10->8->6 reps. Anyone with some tips? how did you start off? did you get any help or did you just try something out?
Anyways, thanks;)
