Bodybuilding newbie needs help?

[orgil]

Hello. Today i read rippetoe guide. I am newbie and going to do this program. But i have a little problem. I am little underweight, can't gain weight without exercise because i have very very fast metabolism. So i can't do Sets across because i need to lift same weight. I can do bench press with only bar. I can to do deadlift more then with bar. I can't do military press with bar. So you can see the problem. I am very weak and someone can laugh at me but i can't sit at home. I want to lift more weight. Please tell me another method of weight progression. I am 15 years old.

Stick with it, just improvise. The 'bar' is 45 pounds, and the preacher curl bar is 20 pounds (IIRC), start with that. Also, you need to seriously EAT while doing Rippletoe.

Eat your normal meals and GOMAD. That means you eat regularly AND you try to drink a gallon of milk a day. That should give you all the protein, fat, carbs you need to grow.

You just keep trying to do a little better each exercise. If you can only bench the bar, once you get to the number of reps you want, add 5 pounds the next time you bench. Once you complete all your reps with that, add another 5 pounds the next time you bench. Keep doing this, and you will start to see big improvements real quick (in a couple weeks or so).

Diet is also very important. Most of your diet should be in the form of protein. You should try to consume 1 to 1.5 grams of protein for each pound of body weight. So if you weight 150 lbs, you should consume between 150 to 225 grams of protein each day. The rest of your diet should be split between complex carbs and "good" fat (unsaturated fats).
