So I recently turned 14 years old and I've been going to the Gym since 1.5 Months and I need some advice
I researched a bit but everybody tells me different stuff and I've concluded that focusing on compound movements like Bench press, Squats, deadlifts and barbell shoulder press is the best way to grow muscles if your skinny. But there's also other people telling me to focus on Isolations or to focus on both, what should I do?
And for the Split I chose PPL but other people also tell me that splits like UL and Interior/posterior are better but the UL and the other splits with like only 3-4 days of training are way too less for me and I like going to the gym everyday and not have many rest days that's why I choose PPL
In my training I include like 7-8 exercises ( only 5 for legs ) and I try to focus on compound exercises mostly. I struggle with things like bench press because im a skinny guy and my arms are super unstable when lifting it up so that's why I only bench like 30KG. And I was very insecure when I first came and completely avoided dumbbell or barbell exercises and focused on machines because im super weak on exercises where you have to stabilize yourself, any Tipps how to fix my instability when doing barbell or dumbbell exercises?
I noticed muscle growth and gained like 2-3 Kilos my biceps and chest grew the most. I am 180cm ( 5´10 ) tall and weight 59-60KG im ectomorph and got made fun of as a kid constantly for my rips being visible every time I took of my t-shirt. I did gain weight though and I also had terrible posture ( still kinda do, any Tipps? )
Any Tipps on diet, habits, when to go to the gym, how to increase weight in my exercises like bench press, what split, how many rest days do I need and other important stuff. My goal is to reach David laids physique at 15 ( idk if my genetics allow me too or if its too much of a goal )
and one question what music do you all listen to in the gym im curious
help
