Lee Priest Suggestion for Teenage Bodybuilding Workout Routines

Lee Priest nicknamed "The Blond Myth" is an IFBB professional bodybuilder. At 5 feet 2 inches tall Lee Priest is one of the shortest professional bodybuilders.

Lee Priest was 13 when he started working out and won his first three bodybuilding shows later at the same age.

As he said in FLEX magazine, the one thing he want to emphasize to teenage bodybuilders is to be patient. “You’re just starting to grow. Right now, you look at everyone else and think that nothing’s happening to you, but you must give it time. You can work at other sports, such as football or basketball, for a year or two and become a quite good, but bodybuilding is a long-term sport. Some pros have been training for 10 to 12 years and are only now beginning to acquire the right physique. Stay at it, and it will happen.”

Here is Lee Priest suggestion for teenage bodybuilding workout routines:

Chest: Flat and Incline bench presses, Flat or Incline flyes; five sets each, eight to twelve reps

Shoulders: Behind-the-neck presses, Standing dumbbell lateral raises, Bent-over lateral raises; four sets each, eight to twelve reps

Triceps: Pushdowns, Dips, Overhead extension (either barbell or dumbbell), Close-grip bench presses. Pick three of these and do four sets each, eight to twelve reps

Biceps: Concentration curls, Barbell and Incline dumbbell curls; six sets each, eight to twelve reps

Back: Chins, Pulldowns, Seated rows; four sets each, eight to twelve reps (incidentally, the heavier you lift on all your compound free-weight exercises for other muscle groups, the more they will help build your back)

Legs: Leg extensions, Squats, leg presses, Lying leg curls, Stiff-leg deadlifts; four sets each, eight to twelve reps
