Bodybuilding at Any Age

Bodybuilding for men has been a competitive sport since the 1800’s. Women got involved in the mid 1900’s. The newest addition to the mix is at Any Age. One advantage is teens involved in this sport learn about discipline and how to set goals for themselves. Both of these are great attributes that they can apply to any area of their life.

Proper training is very important for teens involved in at any age. Their bodies are still growing, so it is important not to lift too heavy. Injuries occur if they attempt to lift too much. This is likely to happen when they think with their ego rather than their mind. Most teens in this sport get involved in basic weightlifting at home or at school in physical



education class. They then choose to take it to the next level. With proper training, it can be a great physical investment.

Bodybuilding at any age is an art. We will help you reach the peak of your performance. Teenage bodybuilders should only train 3 to 5 days per week. The body needs to rest because it is still growing. Training more that that will make a harder process. It will actually work against you. These work out sessions should never exceed 60 minutes. It is recommended to train each part of the body only 1 time per week. Compound exercises such as bench pressing, squats, shoulder press, rowing, and deadlights will yield the best benefits. The key is to balance volume and intensity. The higher the volume, the lower the intensity should be. If you are working at a high intensity level, then the volume should decrease.

Teens can become frustrated with the slow process of bodybuilding. It is important that they are educated in the effects so that they won’t do damage by over working or give up because they feel they aren’t going to be successful at at any age. Teens will gain strength before they gain size. Over time, their size with then begin to increase as their strength increases. Diet is not a huge issue with teenage bodybuilders because most have a high metabolism. However, it is recommended that they eat balanced meals and eliminate many sugar filled items including soda. Lean meats, apples, vegetables, yogurt, and peanut butter are some healthy foods to incorporate into the diet of teenage bodybuilders.
