Routine for a young boy 15
I used to manage my workout routine and my diet since several years now and I begin to be fine with it.
My son would like to start training. New passion in watching me training :)
He is 15 175cm. Will be like me in 2 years to my mind : about 185-190cm, 6'15
Can he start training now though he doesn't reach its adult height ?
If yes what kind of workout routine would advice me and what kind of diet?
Thanks for your help.
Edit. In a natural way of course :rolleyes:

Don't know Rippetoe? Could you explain? Do you have a link?

That's right.
I just wanted objective advices from Swole

Thanks Pman, good advice!
Basic exercices such as squat, deadlift, bench press is what is adviced inthe strength method too (see previous posts)
My son doesn't eat bad and it's already a very good thing. He eats meat or fish in each meal.
I will see how he reacts with the actual food.
I'm happy that my son wants to follow my way. I personally started very late in my 35. He is only 14 1/2. Cool thing :)

I am very glad I discovered weight training. without getting too personal, it has gotten me through some very dark days. days when i thought i didn't think i'd be able to carry on. but always, there was the iron, solid and reliable. and as i came up out of a max effort squat the weight of the world didn't seem so much anymore.
So much truth here, and I can identify with it on multiple levels.
