Being a gray in the gym

[eli2niche]

Im almost 16 and run track + im a winger in soccer so im not fat but not lean either, I want to start going to the gym but don't know where to start. I'm also wondering what's most important in terms of aesthetics. My frame honestly is not horrible, but I lack definition in my core and wanted to know how I could train abs to achieve something more pleasing in 4 months time.

hard to hit the gym wwhile doing sports. how many days a week can you hit the gym consistently?

 

[shngstaaaa107]

Slight calorie deficit, cardio, smart dieting, and exercise 4-6 days a week

start going consistently first and watch YT vids on splits and what machines to use

Yeah something i struggled with, right now is our off season though and like I said I have about 4 months until we start up. But probably like 4-5 times a week

do upper lower / anterior posterior split. i would tell you to do 2x failure in the 5-8 rep range but as a beginner you should do more volume. i would do 3 sets in the 5-8 rep range (0-2 RIR). this is the most optimal shit you can do.

if u are back in season and can only hit the gym twice a week or something just do full body splits.

If you're doing this much cardio weekly, you might have dietary issues or are eating way over maintenance/unhealthily
Building muscle while cutting fat is easy enough if you simply lift weights, but doing this while having 4-5 practices weekly means u might have to cut down your volume or do little-no leg days

Yeah idk I feel im not getting any bigger or smaller and have kind of just been maintaining my body which is why I want to lift to see if that can help. Also like I said my main focus really is building abs/stronger core since its a fundamental of running that I lack.
