Hey all

[Odysseus]

I just joined here and am trying to soak up all the information I can get before I begin working out.
I am mesomorph by nature and have been involved in sports all my life. I will start on a program soon, probably lifting 3 x a week and following bulking guidelines for diet. I'll keep it simple and effective.
Here are a few pics..
I'll get one of me flexing soon!

By the way, I am 16 years old.

Welcome to AR

Is it just me or do you look like a young Mike Bibby?

Aragorn

[B-BOY]

welcome aboard bro, nice build for a sixteen yr. old, good base and you should get big quick just remember ...EAT BIG, LIFT BIG, and SLEEP BIG.

[Odysseus]

Aragorn: Who's Mike Bibby?
B-Boy: You're definitely a big inspiration! I've seen you around and you're huge! Thanks for the comments and I will definitely go 110%

[Aragorn]

He plays basketball for the Sacramento Kings...

[Odysseus]

Aragorn: LOL! I wouldn't mind being a few inches taller to look more like him!

Here's another pic..

[Aragorn]

Here's one when he was a lot younger...
Kinda close I guess

[Odysseus]

Aragorn: Hehe..Finally somebody that looks like me!

Good solid build bro, you back has some great development going on..but not to flame you but I have to agree with pump111 you are an etco...there is nothing wrong with that..so don't worry.

Welcome to the board bro..there is all you need to learn here and more so enjoy..by the way NICE BUCKET you have there

[Odysseus]

Sorry about the mix-up then.. I thought I was meso since I was a little more developed than most people who don't work out. Also, the pictures don't really make me look very well. But it's ok!
Well, thanks for the comments shredz! And I assume my wannabe goti is a bucket? lol It's took me a while to get it!! But I had to shave since I go to private school
I start working out and bulking up on Monday! Anxiety...

[The French Curler]

I disagree, he is definitely a mesomorph. Just think, for a guy who's never worked out, he looks very very good. Damn mesos!

[Rocket]

Great start, hit the heavy compound movements, eat and get big!

[majorpecs]

Hell yeah man....you got a good base...remember working out is the smallest part of getting big!!

[Little Jonah]

wow great base man

[Odysseus]

Hey everybody..
thanks for the positive feedback, it really motivates me a lot!
I started today at 3500 calories...
Also had my first workout, a leg workout.. What a way to start off my working out, it was a bitch! I found an old track picture that sorta shows my legs, it's about 2 and a half years old, so I was 14 in this pic..

[The French Curler]

Man, you are really well developed. I can't believe you just started working out, you have some killer genetics. And those are some good wheels!

[symatech]

yeah bro your gonna get big fast!!! Just eat a lot and sleep right and youll swell up. Welcome to AR

[thetank]

nice back, decent thickness for being only 16(im talking about your goatee)jj

[BennettBoy]

I'm inclined to put you in the meso category....but hey, whatever....you have a great frame from which to start with. Your back looks really good already and your chest looks pretty developed. Looks like you have messed around with the iron a little before.

Good luck.

This is Odysseus, I'm on my cousin's computer..

Thanks everybody! I've followed everything to a T so far.. kinda hard to adjust to eating 7 meals a day with school, but I'm definitely not quitting.
BennettBoy: Thanks, never messed around with weights, though. Plenty of calisthenics and sports, including handstand pushups, one-legged squats, etc. Done calisthenics my whole life. Now's when I start with weights..
