This weeks Q and A
subject: How long does it take for a teen to get big ?

Question: i'm a 17 yr old teen who's been going 2 the gym for the last 3-4
months.My objective is to change from skinny to toned / fit body (broad
shoulders, firm pecs, big lean arms & abs). Lately my body is beginning to get
toned - especially my arms but i was wondering how long will it take before i
can get big(not musclely big, just fit nice body). i go the gym 3 times a week -
mon, wed & fri, doing different parts each day. i usually do intesifying work so
my muscles can grow but it takes AGES ! i eat the right food, take protein
shakes & have several days rest so my muscle recovers. What else can i do ?

Btw, im half persian - chinese, 5ft 11 & have a lean / athletic type physique.
Can you plz tel me all is there is to know from your personal experience.

Answer: Hey Dani,
It's hard to say how long it will take for you to gain weight, i can tell you if
you don't do the right things, you won't ever get big.
let me give you some good tips on how to gain muscle
- If you train 3 days a week do full body work outs that are under 1 hour long.
- Eat more food , if you are not gaining weight , you are not eating enough
plain and simple . Eating the right food and training will make sure the weight
is lean muscle weight.
- Drink a protein shake right after you work out , thats the most important
time.
- Focus on getting strong on major movements - row , dead lift , squat , bench ,
pull ups
those are the lifts that get you big
good luck !
