If anyone cares, he's 15, around 180 and he hang-cleaned 4 reps at 215.  |
the one exercise my high school baseball coach stressed was dips, this also helps with increasing your benchpress strength, and if your friend wouldnt workout as much he would be bigger.
building muscle needs 3 equal things to be done and one of them is not more important than the other
1. Working out ( lower reps, heavier wieght builds more strength/muscle size, 6-10 reps per set)
2. get plenty of rest
3.quality diet
the science behind building muscle is when you lift wieghts you break down (rip) the muscle fibers and your body will repair those fibers plus a little more and this is what makes your muscles bigger, if you workout too much you never allow the fibers to rebuild. I dont know the amount of time your friend gained these 20 lbs. Expect to gain 10 lbs of lean muscle a yr doing it the right way ( no steroids)
