IM 15 and ive been working out for a year no results

[Toro]

Alright iam tired of working and seeing no results. I want some results now!!! ive been working out for the last year ever so often and when ever i feel i have the energy. I joined cross country to try to build up my muscles. I built my leg muscles but now its over and i want to work on my six pack and arm muscles. Ive been doing some benching and curl ups and push ups.
I dont really watch what i eat because i dont know what the standards are for a guy trying to gian muscle. I really have no clue so i go eat candy and drink soda and all i know its not all good but i dont know whats bad and whats good. I think my problem is particlay because of my eating habbits and if someone could help me that would be really nice.

ok young buck you seem to be going the completely wrong way. I say that cause all I know is that you eat wrong, worked out for a year with no results, and you joined cross country.

Cross country runners are thin and dont really build much muscle if you are looking to put on some serious muscle reply to this post and tell me your schedule and a bit about your diet. I will help you put on some lbs pretty quick.

[Toro]

alright cool. sounds good i know cross country runners are thin now but before i joined i had no clue and i had to stick to it. So ya Ooops that was bad in the long run i think not really sure, i am faster and stronger in my legs but not strong anywhere else, which sucks
Alright even though i did that i have been eating more food than ever when i joined track but it wasnt good. My diet consided of junk food:
Alright my diet is:
Cearal, or Pop tart for breakfast
Then school
Lunch- Prezelz and cheese when i have $$ but normally Ham sandwhich pretzels or cheetos, and a gonola bar
when i come home- snaks: gonola bar, candy(since holloween was yestarday for me)Milk, chips

For dinner i like to eat chicken or something w/ meat in it

If you want your arms and chest to grow you must also work your back and legs. Leg curls aint enough. You are overtraining. Do a search on beginner routines.

if you're increasing weight 5 pounds a week then you're obviously seeing gains

Alright i get what your saying about me overworking myself but what you gotta understand is that my plan which seems good to me doesnt always make it through the whole week sometimes things get in the way and i cant even find time to do things. Another thing you have to understand is that i have been working out for like almost the past year and seen no results mind that i only got the bench this summer so before that i was only doing curl ups and pushups and streching and lifting heaving iteams i could find around the house so its not like im new at working out mayb on the bench but i have been keeping in shape for a while. Another thing you gota do is read the first paragraph i wrote i think it is more on what i am eating then what i am doing working out.

Back when I was your age I felt the same way about progress. The thing that changed my success first and foremost was research and the help of the people on this board. After that it was all about dedication. Hell we've all got things we have to do or want to do but working out has to be a priority or you won't get that far

that makes sense so does any1 have any sources i can get some information so i can do the right thing????

Yea i have a source, one that comes to mind is www.discussfitness.com. Its a pretty good one that has a neat search feature so you can browse the forums for what you want and not have to read through all the other information.

Thx Jackel thats good

[wm009]

I dont really watch what i eat

Diet is about the most important thing when it comes to building muscle. Your workout is a waste of time without the proper diet to go with it.

[Toro]

That makes sense .... it could explain y i havent gotten any sort of good muscles strength in me what sort of things are good to eat to refresh your muscles?
Is eatng prezatles good??

[wm009]

Pretzels don't build muscle lol.
Go into the diet and nutr. forum and say, Hey , I'm 15, I weigh blah. I'm this tall. my bf% is blah. And say, I want to put on some lean mass. can someone tell me the basics of how to properly eat, when to eat, and what to eat.

Like, go into the diet forum and just look through the threads, Even use the search feature.

It's quite amazing what you can do, when you harness the power of your diet.
