Diet and Lifting

Dont do any diet that cuts out entire food groups, unless your body cannot handle them, like lactose in your case. Just dont eat like an asshole, it's really that simple. Make sure you eat healthy foods in healthy amounts, and have something special here and there.

Try to get 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Count your calories (look up bodyweight calculations to figure out how many carbs/fats you need as well). If you're really serious about making gains fast, you'll eat six meals a day-- this can be made easier on the go by buying protein powder in bulk ($100 bags) and getting a big 1st Phorm bottle with a jax shaker (add a scoop of weight gainer and take a chug-chug every three hours or so).

Of course you'll be doing big, compound movements-- the ones that work for me are mostly simple with some variations (military press, upright row, lat pulldown, weighted pullups (buy a weight belt), weighted dips, heavy squats, and incline, regular and decline chest press (when just starting your lifting journey, don't just hop on the bench-- use dumbbells and build more muscle stability).

People will tell you that deadlifts are the most glorious and taxing exercise you can do-- and they might be right about how taxing deadlifts are-- but if I could go back to my 16 year old self, I would tell him to workout the muscles involved individually (back extensions, etc). I'll get plenty of shit for saying it, but deadlifts are an awesome way to give yourself a herniated disc before you're even two decades old.

Do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get big. Commit and give it one year.

You’re 16, just eat healthy and a lot and the rest comes from alone...

Ketogenic diet. No dairy, no grains. Fats and proteins. Eggs. Fish. Spinach. Raw nuts. Fruit but not too much.
