Sorry to ask something that's probably already been asked, but: what about for people in the UK? Any suggestions on courses you can do online, supplementary for somebody who already works full time?...

Not too sure what's wrong about that. Building strength (in the correct rep range), is the best way to develop muscle long-term. Barbells are superior than D/B's in this context.

What other...

For an absolute beginner, it's always best to learn how to squat, deadlift and press efficiently. So, full body movement patterns are automatically a better selection, irrespective of the goal. After...

I want to offer one piece of salient advice to a 14 year old: don't train "body part's" at your age - train MOVEMENTS.

Find a good coach who can teach you how to squat, deadlift, and press...

Such as?

Not to criticise you directly, because you didn't really expand upon your post, but gaining muscle is always best achieved by exercises that accommodate the most potential for progressive...

I agree that when it comes to building a turtle shell, "get creative and vary things up" is probably the worst advice you could give somebody.

To build dense, quality muscle, you need:

1) an...

Tried both dude and found them very difficult. Getting one DB into position is OK, but keeping it on my knee / leg while putting the other up is difficult.

At the moment I've incorporated DB floor presses (with a neutral grip) into my routine.

However, I'm having some trouble getting the bells into position as I'm going very heavy on them.

Anybody...

Completely unnecessary to do that much volume / variety of movements. Just pick 4-5 exercises overall and separate them on each day.

Here's a sample:

Monday: Press & fly variation
Thursday:...

My head is a little all over the place after reading your post, but here's my suggestions mate:

1. Get your training simplified and follow a basic routine such as the one's outlined in the sticky...

Google Eric Cressey dude. He is the man you need to learn from when it comes to baseball.

No need to manipulate what you're already doing too much. Train as you would normally, but perhaps reduce the amount of assistance exercises and put more emphasis on strength training to hold on to...

Actually, playing all those sports should mean you're pretty agile and flexible already. I would make your goal injury prevention / overall joint quality.

I remember Mike Robertson did an amazing...

Read the stickies dude. Everything is explained in there. Devour the info in this section, and then head over to the nutrition section to get the basics on that.

Carry on training them as normal - never hurts to be wide as hell. The rest of your body will catch up when your lat growth eventually slows down.

Also, bear in mind that you still need to pull in...

Try to be a bit more specific where the pain is located - are you referring to your inner legs? When you say, "inner hip", can you pinpoint the pain exactly?

Either way, I'll cut it short and say...

Congrats. Not the best form, but it's a 1RM, so well done man. Excellent strength at just 17.

Honestly dude, no, you're not.

The routine is far too clustered and vague in terms of rep ranges / direction.

First off, what are your goals? Do you want to get stronger / bigger like most...

There are plenty of things you can do with just your bodyweight. Can you get access to a pull-up bar as well?

Some good movements you can include:

-Push-ups (all variations: utilise different...

188lbs, cardio three times per day, and strength training for an hour at 1,500kcals?

Way, way too fast man. Start from scratch unless you're intent on losing all your muscle and strength quickly....
