Bring a friend, cause if you're gonna bench you're gonna need someone to spot you so you don't drop the barbell and kill yourself. Well, maybe not kill yourself, but you will be badly winded. You also need more than weight exercises (if you plan on getting bulk). Stuff like protein shakes and lean meat. Eat healthy. No sweets. No soft drinks. Good luck. @above: I go to the gym, and I'm 15. Fairly bulk. Use to be fat as a kid, and I guess I wanted a change, so I started working out.

You can only work out so much, you gotta give time for them muscles to repair. 12 hours is no better than 3 hours.

Eat whatever you want just make sure to get more protein, no protein shakes needed, you can get the amound needed from food.

Don't be embarrassed to start off with the smaller weights.

Promise said: "@Izaki. What you said in your paragraph. you eat that stuff, at 15 ? i reckon youre mature in food " Thanks. I don't wanna go back to my old shape (plump kid at like 100kg. Now I'm pretty bulk at 71kg. Lost 12kg last week). @TS: Bench press is one of the best workout for your upper body. If I remember correctly, It will increase the size of your biceps, pectoral muscles (pecs/chest) and I think the upper back, but I'm not so sure. If you're looking for an upper body workout, try deadlifts, dumbbell curls, pull ups (or chin ups) and push ups. I know staying away from junk food can be hard at first but you'll eventually get use to your new diet. I admit, I eat at least 2 candy bars a week, and I also drink alcohol and do drugs (Ecstacy and Marijuana). (Please don't comment about the drugs/alcohol part). I just try my best to work off the fat I get from the alcohol, and that's what you should do when you're enjoying sweets. Just work it off. Also, I'm sure there are plenty of bodybuilders at the gym who will be happy to spot you if they see that you're determined to get bigger.
