17 yr/o Wanting to get started in BodyBuilding

[MattyB]

Hows it going guys, im new to this forum.

I started weight training for rugby halfway through last year and got obsessed with seeing my body changing so much and my muscles growing. I have just turned 17 and i am wanting to start out in bodybuilding .. Im just looking for some advice on what body parts of mine are lagging and suitable workouts i could do to bring them up to scratch and if i work hard what would be the time frame in that i could start to think about competing. My nutrition is pretty clean with 6-7 meals a day and i am currently 5ft7'' and 79 kgs. I know i cant pose for sh*t as i have no idea what im doing, if a photo of any other position would help just say

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers MattyB

Shot from the side and a proper leg shot please.

Post up what you would eat on a normal day.

Example

Meal 1: titties with penis butter.

coffee etc.

The best gains happen at the beginning. Well, the most noticeable gains anyway.

LOL ... :grin:

Looks like you've got your shit sorted to me.

If you train legs hard, it looks like they could be quite dominant. They look pretty decent having not been doing it too long.

Yea my legs have allways been quiet muscular, thats why i got told at the gym to have a look into bodybuilding. I think its from when i was younger with all the mountain biking i used to do :pfft:

[Shutupandsquat]

Hahaha!

As stated, just focus on overall mass for the mean time. You'll pick up things on the site and realize different exercises target different parts of the muscles. Some exercises will build width and thickness where as some can just build thickness and things like that.

Also try take note of how you react to some foods. Some can make you look leaner the day after and things like that. It will come in handy if you plan on doing a show.

Thanks alot bro

Not bad at all, MattyB. For a first attempt at posing, you've made a pretty good job of it!

As others have said, you've got good quads already. If I had to pick a lagging body part, I'd say focus on bringing up your chest and lats. Lats in particular will give you that cool V-taper.

Cheers guys :wink:
