Where normal training gear and leave your phone in the locker

Work out TDEE, eat 350 cal more than that, follow an actual programme and don't be disheartened by the DOMS, it'll go away after a few weeks.

16 is a good age to start, you can be swole as fuck in a few years.

Find a solid program. Strong lifts/starting strength/fierce 5. All are quite similar.
Look up form on all the exercises, Alan thrall and Brian alsruhe have decent videos. Learn the form now so you don’t have to pay the price in the future: imbalances, injuries, strength plateaus etc.

Much easier to learn form new than to unlearn bad form later.

CONSISTENCY. I was hit and miss when I was 16. For a few months, I was a fascist with working out. If I had to workout on Wednesday, I would move the earth and heavens to go.

But then if something happened that caused me to skip, it was kind of a snowball effect where I wouldn’t get back for months.

Progression. You can’t always progress in every exercise every session but that’s the goal. To increase your bench by 2.5lbs every time you go (or at least try), to do one more rep per set on your curls etc.

Start light. Make sure your form is good

Don't get motivated and go all-in. It's just a matter of consistency.

Look up AlphaDestiny and Jason Blaha on YouTube for programming and general advice, and look up Brian Alsruhe and Alan Thrall for some form tips.

my 2 cents:

do 3 weeks of basic training so you get used to the weight 3 or 4 days per week. once the 3 weeks end, start with 5x5 stronglifts. (don't go crazy on the plates and dumbells, listen to your body)

go with a nutritionist, diet for bulking.
