Hi, i'm 14 years old and began bodybuilding around a month ago. I was quite skinny when i started but i'm gradually beginning to see minor improvements with my body. I go to gym 5 times a week and train for roughly an 1 hour on weekdays and 2 and a half hours on the weekend. How long do you think it will take untill i see my first major improvements to my body?

With my routine, you don't know my routine mate. I do 8 exercises (chest,back,biceps,triceps,shoulders,quads,hamstri ngs,calves) for each body part with about 3 - 4 sets and 8 - 12 reps. I distribute a day to each body part and work my ass off. My diet is very healthy and i have a protein shake post workout. Now answer the question mate.

It's funny how people immediately judge me and feel threatened by me because of my age. If you get pleasure out of bullying a 14 year old, well then go on and keep doing that. Also when someone usually comments about another's guys balls dropping it usually just means that they are self conscious about their small dick and undeveloped ballsack.

Okay, all teenage angst and testosterone aside...
You won't see results as quickly as a 16-17-18-19 year old would, but you will still see pleasing results in about 3 months. You'll add noticable mass in about 5 months, and will start to look like you lift after 9 or 10 months.
This is assuming your diet is in check (make sure you know all about calories and protein intake), sleeping enough, and don't overtrain (I'm tempted to say 2.5 hours at the gym is overtraining, but it depends what you're doing). Can you post your whole routine for each workout? It'll help us adjust it if need be to optimise gains.
Good luck bro! I wish I started at 14.

I meant like 1 hour and 15 minute workouts on both days, so like 2 and a half combined. And i have lots of protein and carbs throughout the day. My dinner usually consists of some kind of protein, (meat, fish, ect.) vegetables and a carb such as rice. My lunch involves a turkey and salad sand which and a low fat yogurt. Breakfast consists of egg whites or weet-Bix and pre workout is a banana and protein bar. You convinced now mate?

probably a long time. a healthy diet does not mean a good one and a protein shake doesnt mean youll turn into jay cutler.
you have no right to start disrespecting people after you demonstrate to everybody that youre a cockhead.
HAHAHA

Kid ,
First off you are a bit off a jerk and will see minor improvement in about 3 months and after 6 months you will gain nothing
Second your routine sucks ...... small balls (quite an unlucky fellow) .. it won't work after your noob gains
Third read the stickies
Fourth you need to follow a program with linear progression .... I will give you three choices -
Starting Strenght( get the book buy it pirate it I don't care get the **** book even if you choose to do another program ) , Greyskull lp , All pro's simple beginner routine
Fifth eat a lot ( way over your maintainence think 500 to a 1000 calories over it ) and stop all that cardio ... limit it to a slight jog once or twice in a week

2 and a half hour workouts on the weekends not sure if srs? unless a lot of that time is devoted to cardio then that is just rediculous. My workouts take 45 mins on average (like an hour max) and at that point im burnt out as **** there's no way you can be effectively lifting for over 2 hours straight. also if you're doing full body workouts then 5 times a week is too much frequency you def won't be getting enough recovery time (which is when your muscles grow).
Edit: nvm about the full body thing see you're doing a split

The amount of time you spend working out has nothing to do with the results you'll get. Just some key points that are generally accepted to get you the best results:
-Try to train 3 days a week, less isn't optimal and more isn't really necessary
-Focus your training around compound lifts; Squat, Bench, Deadlift (with good form). Don't make substitutions for these until you are at an advanced level, and above all: always try to make progress on these lifts. Doing this alone will ensure gains if you are consistent.
-If you are trying to grow, make sure you are always eating more than your maintenance calorie requirement.
That's pretty much all you need to know, GL OP.

I think that's far too much. I'm only a begginer myself but i suggested starting a 3 day split the other day on here and apparently that is too much so yeah.. So far I've only been doing full body workouts really (I'm going to start 5x5) and i seem to be making good progress so I would just try that!

You will see a lot of progress in the next few years as continue to go through puberty. Srs. Write down all your workouts. Every set and every rep and focus on making progress on your main lifts bench squat dead rows etc at least 2k calories a day 1gram of protein per pound of body weight and make sure to stretch

Fellow 14yr old checking in, don't worry about all the negative comments, your not meant to be a bodybuilding expert at 14 so don't worry. Key things to do are:
eat above your caloric maintenance intake, you DON'T need to go crazy and eat 1000 calories over maintenance because a lot of people who do that come out fat, stronger but fat. I went from 130 to 155lbs without getting fat and am still putting on weight so find a good caloric intake for you and be consistent.
Find a program, SS, WS4SB whatever, you'll make gains as long as you are consistent!
Not too sure about how long it will take to see major improvements, but if you stay CONSISTENT you'll make progressBench: 255lbs (115kg)
Squat: 320lbs (145kg)
Deadlift: 430lbs (195kg)

Even tho he said it in a rude way he is kinda right. At your age your body is still developing and your muscles, bones, and joints are not fully developed. this means that it is accually dangerous for you to be lifting so heavy and you can acually stunt development. your body at age 14 isnt ready for big lifts you can seriously damage joints and bones giving you anything from scoliosis to bone deteriation. be carefull.

First off mate for the first few months you'll see improvements no matter what your doing in a few months after them your gains will stop. Unless you get your workout correct. By looking at yours you just had a quick google and copied and pasted the first one you found? It is way too much. 1 hr 45 mins is maximum per workout, remember actually less is more if done correctly. I started training at 14 with no knowledge I wasted 2 years of training because I didn't know anything on nutrition. So make sure you know what you are doing first. Food + training + rest + more food = great results.
You've only been training a few weeks and you want to see arnie in the mirror, it takes years, and years before you start getting a shape you like. So don't give up. Keep at it.
Oh you seem a little cocky, maybe tone it down abit.
Good luck bud."The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure."

OP i saw improvements after my first week with a ****ty diet and a ****ty push-up routine
just hope you've been blessed by the newb gains gods cos i know i was and the truth is that when you first start lifting, you can get big on the most ****ty routine but as months pass, you need to change it up a bit and become more 'optimal'. and being optimal while starting lifting is the best thing you can do and if you're not now, you'll definitely regret it when your newb gains phase is over and you stop seeing results.Φ United Misc Frat Φ
