I have recently started to lift weights again. I have never done anything major but now i really want to. I would really like to get into good shape, and right now seems like the best time. I am 16 and recently started to take HGH due to my inability to naturally produce GH.

I am about 5'4" and i weight around 122. I have some muscle but not much. I have a thin body shape but some extra fat on my stomach.

My goal is to slim down a little bit and gain a good amount of muscle.

Current Supplements:
-Amplified wheybolic extreme 60 (1 scoop with water after workout)
-Cellucor C4 extreme (1 scoop in water before workout.) This is a pre-workout drink
-Megamen sport multi-v (2 per day with meal)

I made this workout plan. Opinions? Will it get me the results im looking for? any other helpful info.

Every one says that for losing weight one must burn more calories then one eats.



All focus on either eating less or burning more. Strangely enough when u eat less ur body heats up initially. After some time there is no energy in the body. So people says eating less is not the final solution. One must eat less but do more exercises. When a person exerts more than he is used to in recent past he gets tired. The result he will rest more or eat more.



So what is the solution. Those who have seen titanic, would remember that man woman body in touch produces lot of heat. That means it burns lot of calories. A cold a person burns more calories.



Then u have some people who say that sex act burns lot of calories. But that tires out a person. There is a limit to that as well. Physically as well as emotionally.



Now start thinking - is it just the sex act that produces hear. I do not think so. Even body contact produces lot of heat. That is not tiring physically of emotionally.



It could be emotionally. But I wonder whether it has to be body touch by other sex or could be even contact with the person of same sex.



May be the heat is generated even when ur own body touches other parts of the body.



I think that is true.



So to burn more calories one may try sleeping without putting on clothes. Wearing pants or shirts may cause the body parts not touching other body part.



By when u are not wearing anything but are safe under suitable mattresses or quilts ur body parts are in touch. When u are sleeping u can burn more calories.



That will teach u to master ur body better over a period of time.



U can eat what u feel like and burn those excess calories without tiring urself. May be u are fresh and more energetic in the morning when u get up to burn more calories.

Well, as a physician, I think it is great you're trying to get into shape, but I also think some of what you're doing may be a little dangerous. For one, you are taking a lot of supplements, I'm guessing mostly protein. Too much protein can damage your kidneys. Irregardless, your body only uses as much protein as it needs to repair muscle, produce hormones, etc, and the rest you pee out. You'd probably do just fine (and have less long-term problems) with just doing one protein supplement a day if any. Only other thing I would recommend is taking a day off each week. Your body needs time to repair broken down muscle. Just remember we're all built differently, and with a frame like you describe, you need to have realistic goals. Don't kill yourself trying to be like Arnold.

It's all good overall. If I was to just say my opinion about your workouts, I would work on chest with your triceps, and your back with your biceps. This is because in most cases when you work on your chest you are also using your triceps to help with the exercise, while when you work on your back you mainly get the help from your biceps.



This is how I would mix it up, still considering your overall plan:

Day1: chest and tricep, cardio

Day2: legs, abs, cardio

Day3: back and bicep, cardio

Day4: shoulder, core, abs, cardio

Day5: rest, optional cardio

...repeat...



The only time when you need to rest your muscles from your workouts is when you are simply too busy to workout, or when you are sick. There is nothing magical about resting from your workout plan every few weeks. When you are lifting, always consider your form and speed before worrying about how much weight you can pull off. If you ever see yourself not improving, or actually decreasing in size or strength, you are over training. When this happens, you can just take few days off from your workout, and kind of "reset" your body, although that is impossible to do(I just word it that way). You can also consider increasing the days of rest for the muscle you worked on if you notice over training.



"Remember, a protein shake is a product that contains protein powder, a liquid (milk, juice, or water), flavors ( fruit, chocolate or peanut butter), sweetener (honey, sugar, or artificial sweetener) and typically lots of supplements. The ones you buy are typically very unhealthy and are extremely expensive so I would recommend making your own healthy protein shake for a fraction of the cost." - http://scoobysworkshop.com/protein-powder/



There is nothing significant from having a single protein shake before or after your workout. What you need is a constant supply of protein throughout the day. Instead of worrying about when to have the protein shake it's the best to have a well balanced meal every 2 to 3 hours with about 15 to 30grams(even more) of protein depending on your body weight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4_UY_kIPFU&list=PL6F55423FF907B68A&index=5&feature=plpp_video



"If you lift 5 days a week with intensity, and focus for an hour a day, and do that all year long, and you have perfect flawless nutrition you can expect to gain 5 lbs of muscle in a year if you're a hard gainer, and if you're the one of the very fortunate few, you might gain 10 lbs of muscle in a year." - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7dlrupsBWw&feature=channel_video_title If you gain more, you simply gained fat, you grew, or were onto something.
