Background
I started weightlifting during wrestling season to
improve my strength while staying in the 165 weight
class. Doing a one hour workout 5 days a week along
with 2 and a half hours of wrestling practice every
day was enough to rip me down to 160, with 5% bf. I
liked how I looked, but there were guys a lot stronger
than me, and I didn't like it. So after wrestling I
started going to websites like Teenbodybuilding.com,
and I bought Arnold's New guide to modern
bodybuilding. I started working with low reps, trying
to increase my strength. It worked. I went from 160
all the way to 184 in a few months, though my bf rose
to about 10%, I was actually stronger for my
bodyweight. I got hooked and the rest is history.

Herculean Back: The Advanced Lat Shocker!
That back, however, is especially well designed for supersetting, because the back is composed of several smaller muscle groups, which can all be stressed individually with only slight help from the other groups.

Monster Quads And Bulbous Hamstrings!
This is THE program to build leg mass AND superhuman strength at the same time. Given, it will not happen overnight, patience must be employed so that you do not hurt yourself.

Filling The Details: Biceps, Calves, And Abs!
A bulging, freaky calf can be quite awe-inspiring, onstage ripped abs tie in the rest of your physique, and nicely peaked biceps give what would be just big arms a look of beauty and completeness.

Nutrition: The Most Important Aspect!
When you eat large, infrequent meals, your body makes allowances to store some of the energy to be used when your not eating. Unfortunately that stored energy isn't very useful for bodybuilders since we don't need large amounts of stored energy to survive.

The Chest, The Bench Press, And 'Feeder Training!'
I gained 55 lbs. on my bench press in four months, from 260 to 315, and 3 inches on my chest. This is, I believe, the perfect workout for chest size and bench press power.

The Bottom Of The X: Leg Training
If you're just starting leg training, you'll have to start slow, though, doing less work then you feel capable of. But, each week take it a little farther, little closer to failure, until you're at a full-out hardcore session, bringing your body to total exhaustion and if you have the guts, beyond.

Basic Back Training
This is the back program you can use in conjunction with the bench/chest program I already laid out. Because the back is a much larger muscle than chest, training it requires more focus for more sets for a longer period of time.

Back To The Basics: Thicker More Powerful Back!
In previous back training articles my focus was a lot on machines, they were good because I was just starting back training and I needed the isolation to help create the mind muscle connection to work the back effectively.

Alton's Supplement Review!
I've tried several common supplements out there that most serious teen bodybuilders have seriously thought of taking to get an edge. Most have not tried, perhaps, because they did not want to waste their money in case the supplement didn't work, or are afraid of side effects.

Building A Champion!
The pizza was my junk food for the day, and since I'm in school I bring a banana, a quart of milk, and my Bigwhey shake and N-Large shake with me. I also bring a bottle of water so I can pour it in and shake them up when I need them.

An interesting thing happened, I found out that, when I did 390 for 4 on the squat in one of my earlier articles, they were not full squats. They were slightly above parallel, I'll explain as I get into the journal.
