My 14 year old cousin is a BEAST! Help me!
- Thread starter shockandawelifter
- Start date
while he is inseason it's hard to build strength because of games and practices, so i would recomend going with more of a maintenance program. You could have him do 2 full body days a week, that way he is still lifting but not to such an extreme that he will be tired for games/practice and a risk of injury.
When he is off season though, go with the westside for skinny bastards template or just an upper/lower split. if you want to have the dynamic lifting in there like you have listed, then do dynamic sets after the heavy work. Bill Crawford does that every few weeks, does his heavy work then 9 sets of 3 with a dynamic method, thats also a great way to help with conditioning.

he is 5'10 175 with vary low bf.
deadlift is 195-5
squat is 195-5
bench is 135-5
i have never had him max out, this is what we have worked up to during workouts while keeping good form.

He's 14 he shouldn't be working out with Weights. Your going to do more harm to him then good.

I think ws4sb is a great start. Keep him away from maxing out and don't let him do a ton of volume, etc... keep him enjoying it and not making it a chore and he will begin to love the sport.
In season I would keep him doing maintenance stuff. Maybe some lighter upper/lower body split stuff and he should be good. Just keep him away from any supplements at this point and make sure him form is perfect. The last thing you want is for a young kid to learn the big lifts wrong.

and no kids should ever work on farms either because lifting hay bails digging up stumps and laying fence will do more harm then good.
I couldn't disagree with this more, did you even read my post?
I didnt let him lift weights for a full year. I had him doing strictly bodyweight exercises.

Good advice from the Milkman i agree 100% - see if you can get him interested in nutrition too so he can make the most of diet to complement his strength/weight gains. But remember he's still a kid - so you'll have to make allowances for reese's or ice cream sandwiches or whatever is is taste.
great that you are doing this for him! Props.
