That way he'll teach me the right ways. I'm 17 years old and I'm really skinny and weigh about 126 lbs but want to start weightlifting to get muscular and toned up. Should I get me a personal trainer for a few sessions?
Thanks.|||No, 99% of personal trainers are worthless unless they are a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist or a registered Dietitian.
If you want to get big and strong here is the best beginer's program out there:
Drink a GALLON of WHOLE milk a day. Eat plenty of eggs, lean ground beef (or other red meat), tuna, almonds, walnuts, whole-wheat pasta, multigrain bread, beans of all sorts, and plenty of raw vegetables and fruits to balance it out. You should be eating a meal every 2-3 hours and consuming between 2000-4000 calories a day. Also make sure you are getting no less then 6 hours of sleep a night.
Get a workout that looks like this, and make sure you start with a fairly heavy weight 75-100 lbs and make sure to rest at least 2 minutes between working sets (not warm up sets):
Workout A:
Squats 3 sets of 5
Bench press 3 sets of 5
Dead lift 1 sets of 5
Workout B:
Squats 3 sets of 5
Shoulder press 3 sets of 5
Power Cleans 5 sets of 3
Alternate every other day (EX: Monday 鈥?workout A, Wednesday - workout B, Friday - workout A. Next Week: Monday - workout B, Wednesday 鈥?workout A, Friday 鈥?workout A. Etc.) Add 5 lbs everyday (10 lbs to dead lifts).
You should warm up for each lift like this:
2 sets of 5 with just the bar
1 set of 5 with 25% of the weight
1 set of 3 with 50% of the weight
1 set of 2 with 75% of the weight
You can add dips to the workout if you also want prettier arms.
If you want more details about this workout you can find everything you want to know by looking up Mark Rippetoe and feel free to email me with any questions or comments.|||If you have the money then sure go right ahead if not you can always use the internet to find workouts that you could at the gym.
