Hi,
Now that I am a lot more aware of many aspects of nutrition and training I just
can’t believe how easy is for teenagers to put on lean mass…
I say this because I remember ME when I was 18.
I was a swimmer,swam intensly 4 times a week (for one year). I had a crappy diet,I dind’t eat much and most of my food was poor.
Mostly carbs and way too many ice creams…
Now I see myself in the mirror and even if 11 years passed (I’m 29) I still have the lats typical of the swimmers.
They might have shrinked a bit but I still have them.
I can’t fucking believe I grew muscle without any WL at all and with a bad diet.
I guess it was beacause I was 18,a lot of testosterone…I don’t know.

On a similar note, I went canoeing for a week in Canada when I was 15…came back with pretty decent shoulders, and I never lost them even thought I didn’t lift for ~3 years after that.
I’m 18 and I started training somewhat seriously this year, still pretty bad diet but I have progressed much faster then people older then me in the gym in terms of lifting numbers and figure. Its awesome I just have alot more intensity since im younge and can put on muscle so much easier then older guys.
All of you guys here are OLD!! Im 13, and I focus on the big lifts, cant remember the last time I had fries, cake, ice cream or pizza. I havent had a soda in more then a year. Hopefully it pays off in a few years.
Sure, being young is good. But I’ve made much, much better gains after age 30 than when I was lifting in college at age 20. Working hard when lifting and eating is apparently much more important than youth, having a coach and a proper gym.
