Hey everybody. I'm back. I'm 15 years old, I'm 175cm tall and I weight 60 kg. My goal is to gain mass and strenght to and I was thinking in this routine:

Workout A:
Squats 5x5
Bench press 5x5
Inverted rows 3xmax
Push ups 3xmax
Chin-ups 3xmax

Workout B:

Squats 5x5
Military press 5x5
Deadlift 1x5
Pull-ups 3xmax
Triceps exercises. 3x10 (For example skullcrushers)

I will do this routine 2 times a week. The first day workout A and the second workout B. Do you think this routine is good for my goals and it's good for a teen? I personally feel great doing them. Since I started I increase the weight that I use in every basic exercises and I feel great. If I'm increasing the weight day after day, It means that I will build muscle mass?

I also want to say that it would be a great idea if Scott creates a diary category. So everybody will post his progress in this 'wall' and the other people can help and comment his routine and his impressions. Just a suggestion.

Thanks everybody.

This is an amazing routine. I see you only do 1 set of deadlifts and that is 100% correct because it follows the heavy 5x5 squats and presses. 1 set is all you need if you do this workout anyway.

You will defiitely gain strength from this workout as well as muscle. I would do it 3 times a week though. Every 2 days even better. So lets say Monday,Wednesday,Friday and then either Monday again, or Sunday if you feel up to it. Just make sure you are progressing with those important lifts. If you can squat 100lbs today and 200lbs after 6 months your legs will be much bigger. ( provided your nutrition is correct). People will tell you this is not good for muscle gains but in my opinion this is perfect. Progressive overload is the best way to gain muscle. And in addition to this, you are still young so it would be good to teach your nervous system those few basic compound lifts and master them throughtout the years. Your body will be strong as well as big. But as I said just try to alternate between the 2 workouts every other day.


Thats it!

I agree with Kostas here ! Although I would not do this that much at first. Begin with this 2 times a week then bump it up after a while and the bump it up again. Progressively increasing the frequency of this workout will give you massive gains.

Yes,yes. Right now I think that 2 workouts a week it's enough. It's hard for me to recovery from an intens workout. For example I did 'heavy' squats on monday. Just 30 kg, I know it's almost anything but for me are heavy squats and today my legs are so tired. So I think for me the moment 2 workouts is enough.
