Ok here is my work out.

been lifting for 6 months.
I am 15 years old and am 5'8" and weigh approximatly 140.
My max bench press is aproximently 145.
My max pec dec weight is aprox. 120.
My max lat pull is aprox. 130. (without my body being lifted
off the bench)
My max tricep pull down is aprox. 50.
I can do about 15 dips to a ninty degree angle from straight arms.
I can do about 35 push ups properly.
I can do abouyt 15 pull ups from straight arm hanging position.
I can do about 60 proper slow crunches.


most days I eat like this.

Breakfast: Piece of fruit, or small cup of high protien low carb cereal (no milk)
2 cups of coffee with little 2% milk.

Lunch: Salad-carrots, cucumbers, tomato, lettuce, and about half a can of tuna.

*workout*

Snack: Soy nuts/ or peanuts, with some veggies or fruit (i like fruit)

dinner: Usually a serving of meat with a small salad with a small amount of dressing. I usually have some form of carbs. rice, pasta, or potato.

snack- peanuts and fruit.

i would say i drink a gallon of water a day.
I have read up on most diets. I feel me being younger than whom most the diets are reccomended for, that i should eat a serving of carbs and have salad dressing on my salad.
I realize i have a higher metabolism and i require more fat and calories to maintane weight.
Any critquing is well appreciated. Thank you

My school has an extensive weight room with more than 100 machines/benches/ and other weight training tools.

It is open 5 days a week. Foot ball players in my school are there everyday. I have been lifting since the beggening of this school year and i ahve doubled the amount of push ups and i can do. and added about a third of the weight to the excersizes listed at the top.

I have read in a few places that doing very light weight training on off days will keep your muscel more pliable and strechable. (on tuesday i do my uper body just enough to get a good stretching and a little blood flowing. and on monday and wednsday i do the same for my lower body.


Monday- Abs, Lower back, Chest, Biceps, Triceps, and Forearms.
Very light calve workout(2 sets light weight) and light leg presses.

Tuesday-Abs, calves, leg press
Very light Lower back, Chest, Biceps, Triceps, and
Forearms.(2 sets of light weight.)

Wednsday-Abs, Lower back, Chest, Biceps, Triceps, and Forearms.
Very light calve workout(2 sets light weight) and light leg presses.

Thursday-Abs, calves, leg press
Very light Lower back, Chest, Biceps, Triceps, and
Forearms.(2 sets of light weight.)

Friday-Wednsday-Abs, Lower back, Chest, Biceps, Triceps, and Forearms.
Very light calve workout(2 sets light weight) and light leg presses

So far- i have gained much more muscle definition and i have dropped about a pant size while staying the same weight.

Goal: continue to cut. Trim the very little excess fat. Gain more strength in my legs. And continue to strengthen my whole body.

I appreciate any advice.
 
welcome to the board..i think a routine like this will be much better for you..it was deigned by Pullinbig who posts here...there are videos at te top fo this forum describing most of the lifts in this routine..also there is no need to max on things like pushdowns, lat pulls and pec deck..heres the routine

Here’s a generic one that is a good starting point. This is a mass building routine. Probably less volume than you are used too but very effective. 3 days per week because that’s all most folks can handle if they are training heavy. They key is forced/assisted reps. Painful but very effective if you really want to put on size. This does no include warm ups so that is up to you to make sure you are stretched and plenty warm before performing work sets. A work set is defined as a set that you just barely get all reps or need assistance on one or two reps. If you get all the reps fairly easily then it is a warm up and not a work set. Add abs and cardio on the days off to fit your needs.


Monday:
Squats 2 x 5
Box squats 2 x 4
Leg presses 2 x 5 (pick two of these pressing movements)
Calves (your choice of exercise) 2 x 10

Tuesday:
Wide grip flat bench 2 x 6
Decline medium grip bench 2 x 6
Weighted dips 2 x 10
Upright rows or side laterals 1 x 10

Thursday:
Dead lifts 2 x 5 (or a variation of)
Bent over rows 2 x 4
Reverse grip narrow grip pull downs 2 x 6
Standing wide grip curls 2 x 8

Every one of these movements is a mass building exercise. These are the essential movements for putting on size. Rest and nutrition are just as important as lifting, neglect any one of the three and you will not grow. Juice or no juice all will grow with this routine or a similar one. Consistency is the key. Adding 5 lbs to the bar every other week equals 130lbs/year. Not bad considering many are moving the same weight year in year out. Strength gains are the key to growth, not other way around.

I hope this helpful to all who read it. I have designed many programs for a variety of athletes with varying needs. If you have special needs such as martial arts, football or gymnastics (to name a few) the program can be altered to accommodate these needs.


As far as your diet your not getting enough protein or carbs..at 140 im not sure why you wanna cut..adding lean mucle to your frame is what you should be doing..the routine above will help out a lot

hey blackbeard, honestly...do you think this routine is more effective in putting on mass than DC's if your not huge already??

PB's and DC's routines are both good routines that will work..try both and see what works better for you
 
you need to add some calories to complete your program. especialy protein. more lean chicken, fish beef and also get a good protein supp.
 
Squats 2 x 5
Box squats 2 x 4
Leg presses 2 x 5 (pick two of these pressing movements)

does it mean to choose 2 legs exercises from those 3 written in routine ?
