Background
Just 30 seconds to explain a bit about myself. I always wanted to be big
since I was 10 years old but I did not start until I was about twelve when I
started doing push ups, pull-ups and other basic exercises using my own body
weight. When I was 14 I got a bench and set of free weights for my birthday
and from there I was amazed at the progress I was making. I then got serious
about 1 year ago and started trying out different training programs and learning the
important nutrition side of bodybuilding.

Coping With A Medical Condition

The Proper Way To Warm Up!
Firstly who actually warms up at the beginning of their training session by stretching. I reckon 90% of teenagers who go to the gym forget that part and go straight into heavy lifting.

Thinking About Entering A Competition?
Everyone hits a plateau I have actually just hit one and another competitor who's doing the same competition as me said he's seen gains everywhere but in his legs which he also hates working.
