A bodybuilding program that is geared to help a teenager become successful in developing muscle must be customized to that stage of development. Because a teenager generally starts out underdeveloped, the weights and how the exercises are designed should start from that stage to take him forward toward a more muscular overall physique. That is why it is best for the teenager to have the help of a bodybuilding trainer to specifically knows how to design a program for a young athlete. That trainer can make sure that the natural enthusiasm of youth does not cause the young bodybuilder to go too fast and take an injury as a result.
It is important that a teenager who is starting out in bodybuilding take the time to set up his first exercise program so that his muscles can endure the stress of lifting weights. If the initial introduction to bodybuilding is properly customized to the state of development of the teenager, that will result in the building and stimulation of muscle with will cause the growth the youngster wants without injury that can end the teen's bodybuilding career prematurely.
It is also important that the novice, teenage bodybuilder learns the principles of bodybuilding before getting to ambitious in his development goals. Youth are often too enthusiastic about going wild lifting weights, which is not wise. That is why a teenage bodybuilder should have the active involvement of a trainer and parents to make sure that proper attention is paid to safety, diet and other lifestyle requirements that are just as much part of the sport of bodybuilding as weight lifting and "bulking up".
Usually a teenage bodybuilder goes through a stage of gaining weight and slowly building muscle as a preliminary step before serious bodybuilding exercises are introduced. To help the youngster be patient, review the weights that are required to participate in bodybuilding competitions. That inspiration will give the teenage athlete the determination and will to take the steps of building a bodybuilding program slowly and methodically.
When the teenager bodybuilder has reached his muscle goals from stage one, only then can he begin to work on his ability to perform at a competitive level. The hard work of building muscle and weight that has gone on so far begins to pay off in this phase of development because the young athlete can begin to compete in junior events and realize some of the recognition and excitement of competition that could become quite addictive.
Along with a dedication to working out that requires the kind of patience and ability to see things through that is difficult for teenagers, the dieting requirements for success in bodybuilding will be new to him as well. The typical diet of teenagers of fast food and snacks has to be replaced with a strict diet that is focused on supporting the young person's bodybuilding goals.
That means maintaining a calorie count that may be even higher than a teenager is used to. But that diet is focused on providing the fuel to move that teenager forward in his bodybuilding objectives each week. If a young person can become enthusiastic about the sport of bodybuilding and then develop the discipline and devotion to be successful at it long term, those will be skills that will benefit him for the rest of his life.
