Routine-Beginner needs Advice.

[Patrick124]

I'm 15 n a half, weigh 115 and am 5'6. I'm pretty skinny as you can tell, and with the help of the Bulking thread I designed a routine for myself to get big through heavy-lifting over this sumemr break. but as tis my 1st lanned routien ever, I'm in dire need fo advice on it.
I've read that at my age I'm so pumped full of horomones that I can lift every other day and be fine. true?

My planned routine[Mon-Wed-Fri]:
Warmup Bench: 36lbs x12
54lbs x6
68-70lb x3
80lb x1
Bench Sets: 85lb x6
90lb x5
90lb x5
Those 3 sets 3 times a day with a short break in between

Dbl-Arm Curl: 46lb x12
56lb x8
66lb x7
66lb x7
This twice a day.

Sngl-Arm Curl: 20lb x10
22lb x8
22lb x8
This twice a day.

Saturday Routine:

Sngl-Arm Curl: 20lb x10
22lb x8
22lb x8
This twice.
Pushups: 30x2
45x2
60x2

I'm not entirely sure, but if my bench can be raised for squatting I'll plan on doing that on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday as well.

Comments would be greatly appreciated. Am I going to overwork myself? Is my number of sets per muslce insane? Thanks.

Make sure to eat alot of protein (1.5-1.7 grams per lb of body weight)...chicken, tuna, ground beef...and clean carbs...like brown rice and vegetables...

Also start off slow...and be consistant in your training and diet...and you will see yourself grow....also at 15...just try to eat like a horse....you can eat pizza and burgers once in a while...just not every day....

Thats sound advice you've been given, and I like that routine.

Good luck with it

Also forgot to add...try to eat around 3000 calories a day....and also try to limit yourself to 45-60 mins at the gym....that's all you need man....there are so many guys that think that they need to work out 7 times a week...3 hours a day....and they find themselves exhausted...and not building any muscle...good luck with your training man...once your muscles get used to working out...hit the weights HARD....

I would love to go to a gym and all, but I don't have access to one[no ride]. I'm stuck at home with a bench, 15,20 and 25lb dumbells[weight can be added to the 25], and a curl-bar. Is aw a link that showed how I could do squat-like excercises without a squating setup.
Can you make suggestions with the above info? Thats why my routine is based mainly on biceps and chest ...
If I didn't do as many sets, would my routine be a pluasable-useful one, or can someone help design one that uses only my equipment?[I'm 15, new equipment is fvckin expensive]
thanks in advance, adn thanks for the posts alreaqdy made. I'll keep the food and protein n such in mind when I begin this summer.
thanks
