Smile 15 & Too Skinny

Well you have seen probably seen some posts of mine around, but I am still new to the whole thing

I have had several P.E lessons on 10 power max or something like that and no little about how many sets and reps I should do...

I am an athletic overly skinny teenager, who finds it impossible to gain weight! I am about 5ft10" and weighing in to about 119 lb.

I am looking forward to a ski-in trip to Slovenia, which is in the half term break at the start of February, which is with a load of fit :-D girls, so I want to get into shape! Also, I am enthusiastic sports player and mainly into Badminton and Basket Ball at the present moment.

I want a routine that will able to benefit in both situations, so that I physically fit for sports and beautifully fit for the girls :-D For the ski-ing trip I want to have a good upper body - 'pecks' etc... my main goal for my chest is a six pack but I know it is virtually impossible before February! But I want to have a six pack if it is possible (sorry for my greediness lol)

I am a busy teenage lad, in my second year of my GCSE's and busy with school work, I want a routine that will able to tie all these things and not bog me down tooo much.

I don't just want it for the ski-ing trip but just in general, to make me bodily confident and able to pull the one or two with my amazing body after all your great help! I also want to maintain the body and be able to build and build until I am satisfied with my body.

I can say that I am sometimes a fussy eater and sometimes not, but I am Indian so I have mostly curries but I want to be able to eat right to help me build muscle.

Please can you help me make a routine and meals/foods that will complement my workouts. I don't want to go into any protein shakes etc.. I want to build and rip muscle naturally

I thank you for reading my story so far and for any post :-)

Hey DJHitzz,

You'll have to consume a lot of calories to build muscle, especially since you are so active and a teenager.

Use THIS CALCULATOR to figure out your daily caloric needs.

Then read THIS ARTICLE on nutrition!
Then read THIS ONE!

I'd pick one of these BEGINNER ROUTINES and stick with it until February!

February is 4 months away, plenty of time for a teenager, who is new to lifting and eating properly to make decent gains! You just got to read up, eat right, and lift hard!

Good Luck,

Dave

I also have another set back, my gym only has resistant machines, and no free weights what's the best way to get around this? Or exercises on free weights that are similar/do the same job as the resistant machines.

Well, while it is a set back, it doesn't mean you can't build a body using only machines.

Are there too many machines for you to write them down and list them here?

Most machines have instruction pictures on them with the name of the machine and what muscles they work, or the name may be on the metal frame around the machine's weight stack. If I were you, I'd write them all down, post them up here and let us work out something for you.

Good Luck!

Dave
