Welcome, mate. Good to have you here.

I'm not sure what you're asking with your "too young" question... Do you mean "Am I too young to start bodybuilding?" Or, since you've posted in the steroids forum, I'm wondering do you mean "Am I too young to take steroids?"

I'd say no to the former, and yes to the latter. Especially as a beginner, you won't need steroids to grow. :wink:

EDIT: I just realised you also posted this in the introduction forum, so I've merged the two topics for you.

hey thanks for the replys, do you think itd be best for me to get a program from a trainer at my gym or should i seek other trainers that may be more specialised etc?

Specialised trainers certainly have their place (rehab from injury, preparing for a competition, etc...) and they're probably very good at the "general" stuff too. However, for your purposes, I don't think you need to actively seek out a specialist.

Having said that, a lot of people have very low opinions of the worth of personal trainers (that's not overstating the case, is it, Cornfed?! :pfft:). They prefer to do the research themselves, then build their own routine.

Personally, I'm somewhere in the middle. I'll talk to trainers and get their opinions, get other ideas from people here, or people at the gym, or people at the supplements store... and then I'll write my own routines, and try various things they've suggested.

We'd be happy to give you a program, if you'd like. Just say the word, and you'll get several members all recommending different routines. :grin:

Do you have a workout program at the moment?

hey, yeah id love a routine, i have one at the moment but i think iv grown out of it and need somthing to raise the level. i like to train everyday even though im begining to learn i dont need to, id like to work all my body, im focused on increasing mass and strength.

cheers

Hey man welcome the the forums...you can google any information that comes to your head about bodybuilding etc etc. You can also go to:

There is heaps of info there.

You can also stick around this forums to find answers.

Good Luck bro

OK... Let's get that routine sorted for you. First of all, what do you do at the moment? Are there any body parts you think need more work than others? Or do you just want to get bigger everywhere?
