How do I train a 17 year old. > know a bloke who's dad was beating him, he is now living with me. >He wants to start lifting with me know so been showing him squats, bench and press. Mate who used to be a PT said I should not get him to start deads until he is 18- Y/N
Currently I am doing 5/3/1 BBB, he wants to train 3 days a week 2 with me 1 without. What’s a good routine I can give him to get started out. Was considering getting him to do A1- 5x5 Bench, 3x12 Shoulder press 3x 12 Row 3x12 Curls 3x 12 Tri- pulldowns 3x 12 Face pulls
B1 5x5 Squat 5x5 Military Press 5xF Chin ups Core Work
C 5x5 Squat 12x3 Lunges 12x3 leg curls 12x3 hamstring curls
A2 5x5 Military Press 3x12 Incline press or Dumbbell press 5xF Chin ups 3x 12 Curls 3x 12 Tri- pulldowns 3x 12 Face pulls
B25x5 Squat 5x5 Bench Press 5x10 DB Rows Core Work
C 5x5 Squat 12x3 Lunges 12x3 leg curls 12x3 hamstring curls
Or should I just get him to start doing SS or Strong lifts?
Evan Sullivan
What shitty program is that? SS or gtfo!
Austin Ortiz
Just do Greyskull LP cmon he'll crush his daddy in no time
Cooper Powell
I didn't mean to judge. But do you really think that being average on all those lift will make you bigger and stronger than lifting 1/2/3/4?

>looking after someone else's kid >but you aren't fucking the mum you have literally taken the worst part of being a cuck without any of the benefits
Adam Miller
pretty much 5/3/1 BBB but with 5x5 for the compounds and no deadlifts
Nolan Hernandez
SS + GOMAD
Cameron Peterson
ignore the pt just don't go overboard on 1rm testing for deadlifts
Colton Diaz
5/3/1 is an advance program. A beginner doesn't need to isolate before he knows his weakness, which take atleast 6 month to a year. SS with dips and pullups is plenty enough.
Logan Flores
I'm pretty sure 531 doesn't have an ABCABCx structure with squats 4 days a week
Connor Parker
SS with dips, pullups and lateral raises
Logan Jenkins
>he shouldn't deadlift until he's 18 LMAOing at your life
Carson Martinez
Im diddlying since 16, no issues. As long as he progresses naturally his body will adapt, hes not a frikkin child
Asher Allen
I was always told to wait until 12 years old to start lifting weights. 17 should be fine. Shit, back in Jr high wrestling, we lifted at practice.
Carson Young
I Started with SS when I started. Any one do Strong lifts or Gray skull and find it worked good for them?
Samuel Kelly
what are his current lifts? at 17 threre really isnt any reason to train him differently than an adult. put him on SS with accessories. maybe add some fun shit if he gets bored because hes a low attention span teen
Christopher Ortiz
He is 5'7" 65kg, Bench- 37.5kgx5 Press- 27.5kg x5 Squat- 50kg x5 Have not got him to do dead lifts yet, - Tried once to get him to do stiff legs as a hamstring exercise but he was having issues keeping his back not rounded.
Brandon Russell
I see literally no issues with that program. Good strength/aesthetics mix, really good for people who have fucked up genetics for one or more of the big three.
Grayson Brown
>I should not get him to start deads until he is 18 If he does it with proper form and doesn't lift more than he can handle (whilst maintaining proper firm) as many teens are prone to do then there should be nothing wrong with having deadlift. Also, >implying one year will make a difference to whether or not he should deadlift Everyone stops growing at different times and "18" is just an arbitrary age of adulthood
Jason Thompson
>this program >this motivation >trying to act like father/protector dunno which one is worse
Jonathan Sanchez
just make sure he has good form and he should be fine to DL. he could also stand to gain some weight t b h
if he sticks with it, hes going to be very grateful to you for giving him help with this shit. hes going to have a head start compared to all the kids who didnt get good advice, or didnt even start to lift until their early 20s
Ryan Watson
being a cuck without banging hot mom
Landon Hughes
I started deadlifting at 16. Start low stay 135 and under for a long time and rep it out. It will help build the muscle memory for when he wants to start getting heavier.
Colton Turner
>He is 5'7" 65kg, Fuck teaching him lifting Get him to go full trap mode and then you'll have a gf(male)
Just make sure he does some light lifting to develop solid glutes and thighs
Jonathan Reed
Too much volume for a beginner, start simple
Zachary Cruz
-looks good. -add some abs each day. -c day some gluteham raise or reverse hyperextension. -don't force the reps on the main lift, he should always have some reps in his tank.
Chase Scott
my dad had me doing diddlys at 13 nigga im 6'3 now dont worry about it just oractice priper form
Austin Cox
Your programming sucks. Get him started on a beginner name program with a rep, like Starting Strength (and not the ripoff "stronglifts" or "greyskull").
BTW your choice 5/3/1 sucks and is a ripoff of BFS BiggerFasterStronger which is a hs program that Wendler was taught when he played hs ball. It is a good program for kids, high schools have been using it since the 70s.
Middle school kids, like 11-12, lift all the time in the US nowadays. Most chink and russian weightlifters start earlier than that. The key is focusing on form and progressing at their pace.
