If I could change one thing it would be starting to lift when I was your age and actually knowing what I was doing. Make sure you research thoroughly to avoid being part of the 90% of high school lifters who don’t know what they’re doing. Being jacked as shit can be the social fast pass in college, as long as you aren’t weird or awkward.

Lifting but also saving money to move out. I moved out when I was 18 but I wished I saved more. I started out with 4,000$ and it went down so fast especially with college. I wish I had at least 10,000$

Being 18 and just about ready to go graduate, a few things, especially after learning about trp, that I wish I had been going more were, lifting, prioritizing school work and sports, cleaning my room and making my bed, waking up earlier to run or swim, and staying away from nicotine which is very prevalent in my school. I wish I had been more social with everyone in school and not just my main group and maintaining real good relationship with all my teachers. Make sure to figure out your learning style as early as possible, in my case the best way for me to learn is by teaching my self which I had unfortunately just learned this year. Make sure just to be as friendly as possible with everyone even that massive cunt that sits in the back of the room fucking off, or that really ugly girl that eats four bags of Doritos a day. All in all highschool goes by way to fast there is no point in using any of your time or energy to be lazy or a massive cuck.

-Keep Lifting Learn proper form for all the lifts you. Make yourself a workout schedule you can execute consistently. Consistency beats intensity 10/10.

-Finish High School Strong Forget senioritis, and all that bullshit. High school years are crucial to building habits for success. Grind hard on your grades, and SAT prep. During your downtime enjoy high school while you can.

Socialize Immediately The minute you step foot on your college campus, and I mean the very fucking first minute you better start socializing. Fuck what anybody tells you, those first months of freshman year are crucial for your social life. Go to all the lame freshman meetings, introduce yourself, just be socially active. If you’re interested in rushing a fraternity I’d recommend that as well. Pledging is going to suck, but it’ll be worth it in the long run.

Join a sport. Gives you a reason to keep yourself accountable and consistent with fitness and lifting, gives you social status, and might even help you pay for college if you're good enough.

Your school have a wrestling team?

Get off your phone. Drop the videogames completely. Avoid drugs and alcohol, lift instead. Pick one thing to get talented at (not a life's work, just something to be good at).

Kick academia ass. If you go to college pick STEM or business if some opportunity doesn't open up prior. If not, I recommend skilled trades with prevailing wage rates. This is for starters, always jump on golden opportunities but watch out for scams.

Fuck close friends, get acquaintences and social power; don't be genuine about this part with people though. Sharpen your social skills, frame, leadership, etc. Learn, learn, learn. Seek out information regularly. I remember kids who used the internet intelligently and become crazy informed. It's a game of time management, learn to be as efficient as possible in whatever youre doing. Doesn't hurt to keep a stopwatch handy. Study and train correctly so you can engage in other things to get ahead. Make sure you understand and train your mind in concepts before using shortcuts.

You have more freedom and control than you really know, look at the adults in your life and see if you can use them to accomplish something incredible. If not, are there people in your community that you could try talking to? Almost all young success stories involve adult support systems.

Sit down with a cup of coffee and try to visualize exactly what you want your future to be like. Get down to the details. What color is the first house you'll own? How many cars do you have? What's your morning routine? Then ask yourself how you're going to make the money you need to get there.

Select a few good habits and stick to them. Lifting, reading, studying and saving money are a few which come to mind. If you stick to those you'll be in the top percentage of men in your mid twenties.

Nofap is bullshit unless you have an actual problem jerking too much.

Not sure how much pseudoscience goes behind this but too much lifting at such a young age can stunt your growth and cause muscle degeneracy later down the line. I mean still lift but just don't fuck yourself up too much doing it. You're 16 so you may still have a couple of inches left to go in terms of the growing process. Try to eat well and get full nights sleep everyday to maximize height growth.

I knew this kid who started lifting weights at the age of 12 so by the age 13 he was jacked as shit. But unfortunately he basically stopped growing in height so by the time high school rolled around he was basically a midget.
