Here Are The Answers Specially For Your Questions, Sean! Sincerely From Sean Toh.

Dear Sean,

Nice to hear from you again. I'm glad you are interested in bodybuilding. Let me tell you how I started bodybuilding?

I must said that I love the look of muscles on the body when I was young. Just like you now, Sean. When I saw bodybuilders on the TV programmes, magazines or books, I'm naturally drawn to them. I love reading those 'Muscles & Fitness' & Flex magazines from Joe Weider that I would save every single penny to buy secondhand magazines from secondhand bookstores. I will do chin-ups, push-ups, sit-ups and lift books or pails of water just to work those muscles. I will head for the gym after school to workout and I could workout everyday. I started bodybuilding at maybe the age of 10 and serious bodybuilding when I was 16 years old. From 16-23 years old, I tried to build mass on my body structure and I took part in the Inter-varsity Bodybuilding competition representing Singapore Polytechnic and came in Third for the show. Below is a picture of the competition that I competed in 1992 and I in the middle wearing a blue trunk. We were asked to execute the 'Front Double Biceps Pose'.

 

 

I got into serious training when I fractured my knee-cap when I was in Secondary One in Westlake Secondary School doing my Physical Education lesson executing Long-Jump. I had two operations to have metals inserted in my knee and removed after a year after the first operation. I could not bend my knee even after the operation as I could not walk, run and squat properly. I undergone therapy at Toa Payoh hospital doing stationary cycling and simple leg-extension exercise with light weight wrapped around my feet. When I could bend my knee properly after the therapy, I trained serious to fully regained control of the functions of my knee and legs. I chose to persevere to achieve what I really want - to able to walk, run and jump fully. You can learn a lot from me and yourself. Do not under estimate your full potential!

Four Steps To Financial Freedom

 

Let me tell you that it is not easy to get ripped muscles unless you go into serious dieting eating very clean food and do your cardiovascular exercise for 25 minutes and above ,3-4 times a week. With the food that Singaporean are eating like Roti Prata, Carrot Cakes, Chicken Rice, Satay, Nasi Goreng, Nasi Padang, etc. I can assure you that you would not get ripped muscles if you are not doing cardiovascular exercises like jogging, cycling, swimming, etc. If you are interested in getting ripped muscle, Click Here!

Basic Exercises For 11 Years Old

What are some of the exercises for you, Sean? Don't get caught up in the training routine's that the pros put out in the magazines, those will only lead to over-training. They have all day just to lift, eat and rest, they don't have to go through 7 plus hours of school and all that other junk you have to do.

The routines they do are good for them, but may not be good for you. Like you have heard many times before, no two people are created equal, and this applies to bodybuilding also. So when it comes to training go back to the basic compound exercises and keep it simple.

It is very important to not neglect any muscle, especially your larger muscles, like legs and back. Those are two commonly neglected muscles, and the two muscles that if you get them big everything else will follow. You should base your routine around the compound exercises, these are exercises that involve multiple muscles to help move the weights.

For example in bench press, you are primarily working out your chest, but you are also getting help from your front delts and your triceps. I will list the main compound exercises for each primary muscle.

    BACK
  • Deadlifts
  • Barbell Rows
  • T-Bar Rows
  • Pull-Ups

    LEGS

  • Squats-(king of all exercises)
  • Straight Leg Deadlifts-(can be done with a slight bend)
  • Leg Press

    CHEST

  • Incline Bench Press- Barbell or Dumbbell
  • Flat Bench Press- Barbell or Dumbbell
  • Dips- lean more forward, to hit your chest more - I don't think declines are necessary, because flat bench and dips will hit your lower chest enough

    DELTS

  • Military Press- Barbell or Dumbbell
  • Push Press

    TRICEPS

  • Close Grip Bench- hands should be spaced about 8-12 inches apart
  • Skull Crushers/Lying Tricep Extensions
  • Dips- with your body more upright

    BICEPS

  • Barbell or Dumbbell Curls
  • Incline Curls
  • Preacher Curls
Those are the more basic exercises for each muscle which you should be able to do the most weight for also. I would recommend sticking to these exercises listed above or a variation of them. Don't get to caught up in many cable and machine exercises.

Free weights are more superior in terms of gaining mass. Machines are more for isolation and you really don't need those unless you are training to enter a contest or your physique is at the point to where you are satisfied or you are big enough to start worrying about "detailing" your physique. I doubt many teens are at the point to where they need that. I know I am not even near that point.

You should also be keeping your sets and reps relatively low. If you don't have the proper nutrition to feed your depleted muscles after being torn down by lifting, then doing many sets will just tear them down more and more and if you don't have the proper nutrition they won't repair properly and you will only be tearing them down worse, and you won't be gaining, you might be losing.

For your smaller body parts do about 6-8 sets, and for bigger body parts do about 9-12 sets. Keep your reps relatively low to gain some good size and strength, we are all looking to get bigger and stronger muscles. The so called "best" rep range is from about the 6-10 rep range, I think it is pretty true. Sometimes I will go for a heavy workout and train in the 4-6 rep range, but that is for variation. As for you, Sean. I would suggest you stick within the range of  6-10 rep as your body structure is still developing and might not be able to take so much weight to just achieve 4-6 rep range till failure.

I hope you get a better understanding on what to do in the gym, to continue growing. Keep it simple and keep it moderately heavy, train within your limits. And have some patience. As for illustration of all the exercises, please

Tanning your body helps you burn off those calories when you are sun-bathing or sun-tanning  and a tanned body give an illusion of a muscular body when your skin is brown in coluor. You don't have to go swimming in order to keep your body lean and muscular. In fact, too much sun exposure is harmful to your skin as you likely to develop skin cancer later on in your life. However, swimming is a good cardiovascular exercise if you swim at a faster pace with many laps in order to achieve a cardiovascular benefits. Bodybuilders like to use artificial tanning products for competition by applying bronzing gels on the skin surface and spreading evenly to achieve an even tan just before they go on stage. As too much sun exposure is harmful to the skin and it is not easy to achieve an even tan in areas like armpit areas. Hence, if you are interested to know more about tanning products for use during competition, please

What all this resources  are not:

It is not a business opportunity sales pitch, a get body muscular on a fast track scheme or a bodybuilding investment scam.

What all this resources are:

It is a comprehensive resources which I have personally used to educate myself and have used the products to build my body to a level that is worthy of standing on the competitor stage. It take more than ten years to achieve a physique that I have now. I started bodybuilding since 16 years old when I was in high school. It take much more than resources to be a champion. It took me perseverance, determination, patience, willingness to learn from competitive bodybuilders, a hardcore attitude, education in knowledge and practice in bodybuilding, sport nutrition & contest dieting to succeed. When I was boy, my dream was to be a bodybuilder! I used the best bodybuilding champion - Arnold Schwarzenegger, 7 times Mr. Olympia,  to be my idol whom I can emulate and motivate myself to be a bodybuilder. Although I'm not a Mr. Universe or Mr. Olympia, I know I'm a bodybuilder in my heart. It's not about the winning but the courage to try what you dream of.

Finally, if you've had enough pain and frustration and dare to fulfill your dream to be a competitive bodybuilder, then all this resources is for you.
