you’re not going to change your body drastically in a month
Do a boot camp 2x1.5 hours a week workout for 28 days.

But if there’s no local gym then who/what/where would run a boot camp?
Even then a good “group circuit training class” [ie. aka. bootcamp] is hard to find in the best of places. most of them are jogging with push ups.

Good response Chris, sorry about mine too, I know what it is like to be pissed at one thread and carry it to another. I wasn’t at that time but I am getting sick of spending a lot of time posting something and then having the kid(s) ignore it anyway.
Also sometimes feels like going in circles. And foundational knowledge of training/nutrition is just lost, and people won’t go read, and people just drive me nuts.
I think most are agreed on a few things:
- a month is not long
- he prob. isn’t fat and fat loss shouldn’t be the prime focus
- fat loss WILL be the prime focus regardless coz kids these days are crazy for being thin, scrawny, with “abs” and love to waste their one and only chance to build serious muscle in their youthful prime
Milk without squats, bad. But with sprints instead of squats, would be fine. BUT not if he can’t have milk. But if he could, it is a cheap and fast way to get what is needed.
I still think sprints are the key to this month for him, or anyone his age wanting to lose fat / get into weights. As long as they are not injured, you can hardly go wrong for a normal person to get good results. Not for a mega-fatboy though … could hurt themselves. But for a kid who is skinny but can’t see their abs, better to do sprints than cardio/diet. Sprints should build a fitness, leg strength, a hunger for food, burn calories, prime them for weights. All good.
I wish I had all this information served to me on a silver platter when I was a kid. Damned right I would not ignore it, or not bother reading it, or doing it.

I generally just run until I get tired, which is around 14 or 15 laps around the indoor track. [/quote]
Training has moved on from the 1950s. Consistent fly and die workouts are not optimum nor are utilised by any athletes wanting to improve . Just like to point that out to everyone.
your 6ft 160 and you have any body fat?

pretty much. Im still not convinced about this teen super man thing where they get such dope gains. I reckon I’m better at gaining strength now because i have developed the ability to “learn” better.
Im just not sure that kids during puberty are mentally equipped to put in real “hard” training. either way, he will ideally get his shit together for the incoming semester and start work on a legit program with real food planning.
We will see, or not. the O{ doesnt really post back much.

We men [and/or ‘guys’. “men” fought in WWII. I just play Xbox a lot] are good at reconciliation. Girls can never [or not often as far as my experience] get back on the same track after misunderstandings. And all is well on this thread again.
i have a feeling your gonna be in the gym for a solid two weeks, stop for 2 months, and come back asking for the same advice.
join a gym, or find a gym you can attend regularly and make it your lifestyle if youre serious about changing your physique.
reading about the best programs wont get you anywhere unless you take your ass to the gym.

dan gable used to practice until he passed out.
he didnt give up a single earned point in the olympics.
If Usain Bolt, Phelps, Redgrave blah blah trained day in day out till they passed out and then tried to win an olympic medal they would utterly fail.
In order to be “trained” an athlete needs to hit UT2 to Above Max in the appropriate ratios.
Unless you can prove to me that Dan Gable did every workout till collapse I stand by my point.
just take it as is. dan gable mentions in his biography that his teammates would sometimes have to carry his limp body out of the wrestling room because of his relentless mind… he just never stopped pushing. and for gable, his body gave in before his mind and heart did. i dont think this means that this happened every time, its just a testament to how great athletes perform the way they do.
swimming wouldnt have been dan’s best sport.
