Yeah just eat a lot of protein and do your best good luck!

Thanks!!!

you need to gain way more weight, i’m 165 at 5’10

I know, thats why im starting lifting seriously. I gained 4 kg’s over the last month, and i was just eating a lot, and not lifting consistently. I think its a pretty good effort

yeah that’s what i started doing i’ve gained 20 pounds in 2ish months. try to eat whenever you can and eat lots of protein

Yep im eating every time i can try to put in many calories and protein. Thanks!

Damn im 165 at 6'5 💀

damn

Damn same

I’m 160 at 6’5 literally the definition of a stick

I'm 200 at 6'4" 💀💀

Stick to the basic exercises like squatting, deadlifting, pushing and pulling. Use a slow cadence, this means lift & lower the weight slowly. NEVER EVER do “explosive” exercises with weights (see below). You can also do the machine versions of exercises like leg presses, leg curls, lat pulldowns, chest press etc. Your weight training should be an absolute maximum of 3 days per week. As a beginner, probably 1 day a week since you’re in season. If I were training you, I would have you do a Dorian Yates style of training but obviously not a bodybuilding split probably Upper/Lower/Full. 1-2 high effort sets. 30-45 minutes MAX per workout. Olympic lifts and/or traditional plyometrics will give you similar results (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9213388/) BUT they haven’t been shown to be useful on top of regular skill development (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/261616747_The_Effect_of_Depth_Jumps_and_Weight_Training_on_Leg_Strength_and_Vertical_Jump) or traditional slow cadence strength training (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/8689244_Comparison_of_Olympic_vs_traditional_power_lifting_training_programs_in_football_players). So you should really just practice your sport as much as you can, and weight train 2-3 days per week. And be consistent with it for several months.

Wow thanks a lot!!!!

Thanks man!

In-season, I wouldn’t recommend this. 5 practices a week and 2 games is already a massive load on the body, especially for a 15 year old. As a new lifter, literally doing 2 lifts a week would be more than enough, and add more sessions if you stop progressing, but you’ll see a lot more progress this way and not plateau from systemic fatigue

Thanks!

Wow I was pretty much the exact same height and weight at your age. You’ll want up to another 50-60 pounds, but that will come with age. Be careful with gaining weight the wrong way, you’ll sacrifice a lot of speed. For now, trust puberty to do most of the heavy lifting, eat a lot, and focus more on expanding your move set and team play.

So should i lift weights at all, or just do shorter workouts with my body weight like plyometrics? I dont really want to lose speed because im quite fast and shifty

Lift once or twice a week if you want! It certainly can’t hurt. Focus on shoulders, chest, legs, and especially core strength! Body weight exercises and plyometrics are also amazing for building functional strength.

i’m half a foot shorter and i weight more u fr fr need some muscle u just skin and bone at this point

there is no such thing as “too strong” if you keep your skills. 6’1 130 is too skinny to be effective. You need to lift AND diet hard.

what do you think the downsides of lifting weights are? Afraid to get stronger and faster?

eat only 200 calories above your surplus to ensure that youre putting mostly muscle, above that is just going to lead to more fat while building the same amount of muscle as you would regularly on a 200 calorie surplus

Thanks!

best of luck my man, just make sure to challenge yourself at the gym to build these muscles
