Here is a teen workout appropriate for people ages 10-17. Contrary to myths you might have heard, working out IS good for teens and it wont stunt growth. This is a 45min upper body workout you will do 2-3 times a week. There are seven exercises to workout pecs, lats, triceps, biceps and abs. These exercises are self spotting which means you can do them safely alone. You will perform all these exercises in the order shown, then repeat the whole thing two more times so that you end up doing three sets of every exercise. chest: pushups, flys, dumbbell press lats: pullups, rows abs: crunches biceps: curls triceps: french press For each exercise we want to do between 8 and 15 reps. First, we are always going to lift slowly, 2s up and 2s down [demo with count]. If you can do more than 15 of these slow reps then its too easy for you and you need use more weight. If you cant do 8 slow repsthen you are using too much weight and you are likely to get injured. Nutrition is key to being able to add muscle! I cover nutrition on my website, if thats not detailed enough for you I have reviewed and recommended some excellent books: scoobysworkshop.com

Stiff Deadlift??? If you’re going to criticize his videos, at least use propr terminology. There are Russian and Romanian Deadlifts. Russian are more commonly referred to as “Straight legged”. Romanian being the bent. And the most effective form of working out for teens, in my opinion, is anything high endurance and supersetted. Well done Scooby. Make more videos like this and stay away from attacking specific sports.

@AimTyrael He stated at the begining of the video that you should find a sport you enjoy such as football or basketball which onvolves a lot of running and jumping to excercise your legs as a teen.
Great video again Scoob, you made the excercises accessible to many with a great use of improvisation of everyday and household objects
I should start this week and I hope to get ‘ripped’ in the near future, hopefully I’ll make it to your site

Thanks Scooby! i was hoping you would come out with a video for teens, it seems like teens are the most interested in working out and being 17 i enjoy it a ton! i have studied a ton of info about working out, and everything you said is the total truth. I also heard that teens can’t get incredibly big like a 20 year old can…is this true? Thanks for the Video i will be sure to lift slower and hopefully see even better results than what i have already been seeing.

everytime you do cruches you make sure to say feet flat on the floor, well for football the coach makes us out our feet in the air, does this do us any good?

Can I ask whether must I do these exercises 3 times in a row or must I go through the 7 exercises first and then repeat it until 2 times?

running and jumping is NOT sufficient lower body work, do sqauts and deadlifts. Proper form won’t leave you injured or stunt your growth

@OvoPiano
yeah i hear you man..
i’m taking classes for personal training right now and they have taught us all about momentum. i used to be able to bench press 290 – 295lbs when i was training with momentum. i didn’t slam my chest or anything like that but there definetly was no pause. now i pause when training with exercise and there is a significant difference! my muscles are being trained much better and i am definetly stronger..

no, your is not science, check a good sport physiology book and you’ll see that in order to use the total strenght of your muscles you must avoid momentum which is why lifting slower is more hypetrophic but lifting fast. Even a weakling can lift an heavy weight fast, that’s because he is recruiting irradiation, momentum and explosiveness but only if he lifts slowly you can really determined whether he is strong, whether is strength without momentum is up to the task
