I was as a youth, then since military service I'd switched to martial arts.
Alittle advice- if want to build muscle faster, gain alittle excess weight-( 15-20 lbs fat), go into strict weight lifting using whey protien product shortly after you start.
Whey protien helps clean out your system, but keeping it healthy, and allows your body to convert whats stored on the body as excess, into muscle. But, it takes raising the metabolism, heart rate and cleaning the body so cells can operate properly and be able to absorb needed components for building muscle.
Only work your body until you have caused minor ache in muscles during work out. Some people sweat alot more than others, so thats a false belief. Slow, steady working of the body does not over stress, but brings the body to a good metabolism level for consistant muscle building operations, even for a short time after you stop.
Stay consistant with your lifting regiments. Don't graduate too quickly in weight you lift, so that you don't inadvertantly overstress your muscles.
Lift weight that makes you work fairly well, but not too hard. Go 15-20 reps. per work out, in groups of 3, first one rep. for arms, one for legs, etc, switching between them for total of 3 times each part you work on. do sit ups, push ups, chin ups all with extra weight when own weight is too light.
For particular muscle group building, just ask, I'll describe work outs for them.
God Bless!!
