A way to get "ripped" without weights?

[FlyingJesus]

I'm not 100% on this as I've never wanted to get bigger, but isn't the idea behind high protein intake that it builds you up after the workout? If so it's not going to do him a lot of good considering he can't do heavy workouts and so it'll just make him bigger with no definition

Also Robbie you're like 12 or 13 can't remember but that's too young to be tearing up your muscles (which is how it all works basically) as it can then damage your natural growth - like I say, I'm not into bodybuilding but back when I was in school there were actual laws against the schools letting people under 14 use big workout equipment

I thought he wanted to get bigger ~ as in weigh more cuz he was skinny.

Although FlyingJesus does raise a good point if your 12 - 13 i really suggest you don't work out.
My friend use to work out when he was around that age and hes really short now and his brother/dad
are both really tall not sure if he woulda been short anyways but always made me wonder if thats what
did it, as i do believe working out at a young age stunts growth.

do you really want to look like you just came out of auschwitz

i class ripped as 8% BF<

I honestly wouldn't reccommend going near that if you don't got much lbm.. you'd look unhealthy

[Arch]

Just curious what lbm means, and also what is a healthy BF % for someone who is 6'1 ? 10-15% ?

eat chicken

Have a decent diet for starter e.g. Plain chicken, rice, plain nuts

Push yourself, say 10 pushups 10 situps and 10 leg lifts for a week then try 13 next week and so forth.

Plus the gym i go to has a age restriction of 16, but yeah, if you start lifting weights at such a young age your body's growth cells decline as they have to help your muscles more than what they have to averagely

run up and down the stairs for an hour. Lol no ok just do like sit ups and push ups. My brother is 17 and that's all he's been doing for a year or so. Also what above said have a decent diet. Maybe look on Google or something.

lbm is lean body mass

height doesnt matter when it comes to body fat, 10-15% is healthy no matter what height

Would like to point out that muscle developing exercise stunts growth at a young age. When I was in school we had this bully called george who was fairly muscular when he was younger as he used to work out at home with his older brothers, really horrible kid that no one liked.

Anyway by year 9 he was still the height of a year 6 most the girls in our school had grown taller than him and he was getting the crap kicked out of him on a daily basis as he was still just as gobby and I don't think he hit puberty until year 11 going by the lack of facial hair and high-pitch voice.

Saw him about a year ago he is probably no bigger than a year 8 and hangs around with chavs about 4-5 years younger than him as I suppose he feels like he is the boss in that group.

I think i should also point out, that building muscle will just increase your metabolism even more.
