Be incredibly grateful that you found this sub when you did. Start building your empire now.

Do everything you possibly can in high school; join clubs and lead them, play multiple sports, get great grades.

Start meditating. Start lifting and take it(and your diet) as seriously as possible. Start reading the sidebar and other useful works of nonfiction. Do not blame others for your actions, take accountability. Do not be afraid of failure as you'll learn more from it than success. Be confident. If you're not confident now, fake it as it will become a part of you if you do.

This is basically what I would tell myself if I was just finishing my freshman year of high school. You're incredibly lucky that you found this sub when you did. Put in the work now and you'll reap the rewards very soon.

Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe.

TL;DR: If you just do the basic compound exercises in perfect form (find a reputable bodybuilding coach in your area to show you perfect form), you'll do yourself a huge favor. The basic compound exercises are: Bench Press, Squat, Deadlift, Military Press, and Pull-Up.

Accept nothing less than perfect form because anything less than perfect form will fuck up your joints in the long run.

Otherwise, for inspiration, read Arnold's books.

I presume you are from either America or Canada, join your American football team.

Go on amazon and buy Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Read the book twice and then follow it to the letter. Most people at tbe gym fail and get no where you have to really want it.

Let me give Mark Rippetoe another endorsement. It's the best starting point for strength training I've ever seen.
