Me!! "Frail kid" to meat

[minimoya]

Hey!!! I am 13 years old and I weigh about 113 lbs as of October 15th. I am also 5' 6". Ppl at my school (even my older bro) called me frail or "skin and bones" and Weak. But I wanna turn around. I want at least some strength and to look pike I have actual shoulders. Plus my stomach kinda hangs out...... I want some muscle but I'm not asking to be super buff. I want my dad to look at me and think that he has another strong son. And I wanna lift something by the end of the school year. Plus I wanna look strong for when I finally ask a girl out or to dance. Thanks!!!

Confidence is something you create from inside yourself, you dont get it from getting bigger, as your case would be.

But to get bigger: eat lots.

[Technium]

Eat more food, and you will gain weight. Do some weight exercise, and that weight will be muscle. If you eat more and DON'T do weight exercise, it will be fat.
That's pretty much how it works.

Try doing some bench press for chest.
Overhead press for shoulders
Get on chinups early, they get harder as you get older. they widen your back, making you more manly (lats)
Uhm, do a few curls, some bent over rows, and you should be sweet.
Do some squats with light weight, and work up slowly, don't hurt yourself.

pretty much this

Do compound exercises for putting on some mass man.

Squats, Bench, Shoulder Press, Chinups, Lunges, Deadlifts,

But you should probably start Starting Strength, check out the routine, it's stickied on the top of the page.

This is me.....

[tetrasarin]

I used to weigh 105 when I first started bro. You just gotta eat above maintenance and lift heavy and you'll grow.

[Sean666]

You have really long arms!

But as mentioned above, Rippetoe's starting strength is a good place to start

[str8nutty]

your only 13, youve still got alota growing to do. Just eat, get on a workout program like starting strength and play some sports

[musclefreak69]

judging by the picture you look like you have a good foundation to build on.

eat and lift bro

[Foxr32]

You should eat and do the basics like push ups pull ups maybe some light weight benching and squating and when your 14 beast mode it.

[Seth100]

I'm 13, it says i'm 15. My bro has me on a program, maybe you should ask your bro to train you? And eat protein. And lots of it. For 13, workout three times a week, make sure you have rest days between workouts.

[xZxChris]

Milk.

[hockey1234]

It's all about how you carry yourself bro. I know some guys who are 15 and scrawnier than you. They just act confident despite their stature. If you are self conscious, then it would be a good idea to start lifting, just don't be intimidated by others. You don't even have to tell anyone you're going to gym because when you're older and 10x more jacked than them, theyll be sorry.

[trainlikeafr3ak]

all bout workin out and eating dude, maybe you can stay after school and workout at school if you have a weight room? or if theres a gym near you you can sign up? or even ask your parents for some bowflex dumbbells for christmas.. and also eating you dont wanna eat to to much because your still young your growing on your own i would say a solid breakfast lunch and dinner maybe some almonds or some fruits in between

[minimoya]

Thanks guys!!! I am gonna try this stuff and when I see results that I, myself would like to see, I'm gonna come back and check in!!! SMILES!!!

[harlan8800]

haha..this is the first to come here..I wanna to let everybody to know me.I will leave my message in every thread....ohoh....Nice forum..I want to keep fit..Who can help me???I want to lose my weight....

[JoE6191]

most important part is to not expect results in a month or two... this is the biggest mistake i made when i was younger and subsequently never stuck to it as a kid, looking back i realise if i wuda stuck to it back then i wud be a ****en monster and so much closer to my goal physique

[monkeyfrogO.O]

join a gym,
start eating a heap
do rippetoes with some arm work



get big

[minimoya]

Well i tried seeing if i could join a gym (sorry it took me so long) and i apparently too young. So is there a way to work out or gain strength at home, without spending too much dough $?

I got 1 question
1. Have you hit puberty?

You should really start with pushups and stuff if u havent
google around for answers

[minimoya]

That depends. Im stuck in the middle. My voice is lower and my aunt said i shot up in height since April 2010. Ive grown a shoe size. Thats it

[whappend12]

when ur balls drop, u start looking at girls butts, your voice cracks, you become mature, and you grow hair you are in puberty THAT IS WHEN YOU SHOULD LIFT
in the mean time, EAT and do Body resistance exercises like Push ups and/ Wrestling exercises and drills will make you VERY TONED and Strong! google for them

[minimoya]

O thats a little too much info (although im aware of it), but okay.

[minimoya]

The only piece of fitness equipment in my house is my parents' olyptical. And that helps with legs....which i also want to improve on....

[shortguy722]

eat a lot
wait for puberty
???
profit

but srsly, once you start growing (height) just make sure you eat A LOT to get a big frame/base. at your age now, even if you lift heavy you probably won't get that big (due to lack of puberty growth hormones)

once you get a good base probably ~16 years old, start lifting/following the routines people post on this forum and you'll see results.

PATIENCE YOUNG ONE.

WTF. back in my day we had gym EVERYDAY... are schools really that bad now that you only get GYM twice a week?

[BoomBox501]

Great your starting at 13. Keep at it and you will be a beast at highschool!
