beginner... help!

[Hawkin]

okey dokey i wanna get started bodybuilding and i've been reading forums and forums and stuff and i know a little bit but not enough i feel. so... i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on diet and training (im 15), and possibly a basic routine and split for me so that i could have a little boost in getting started. I'm sure you wanna know a little bit more about me than i weigh 160 but i don't exactly know what to tell you so any help would be greatly appreciated!! i'm sure there's some other info on this somewhere in this forum but i'm new here and don't know how to search yet ... thanks in advance for your help!!

I don't know how strong you are for your size or anything, but if you're not very, don't get discouraged because we all had to start somewhere. The thing you have got to focus on more than anything while training is your form. I can't stress this enough. If you have bad form, it can lead to injuries and lifelong problems, so make absolutely sure you know the right form for an exercise before attempting it. All that said, have fun!

like SB said, id have to agree on the form thing. its probably best if you start off with lower weights than you would like to at first, just to get your form right, and to basically get used to the whole weights thing.

thats what i did for a few months in fact, im only really starting to get to work.

though if youre a member of this forum you cant go too wrong, theres a wealth of knowledge literally at youre fingertips.
