End of the summer goals

Well, I told myself, I would have started this long ago, and it was actually planned to be finished when summer began. Sadly, I was very lazy, and decided to skip it, and not work hard.

I'm an average size guy for my age, 15 years old, about 140 pounds, 5'9. I look skinnier than most people, but I look more fit than most.

I have a lot of lower body strength, because I used to be a really serious runner when I was younger, I wanted to do triathalon. Since than, my goals have changed. I'm sick of being the average Joe. I'm sick of looking the same each day in the mirror. I have been saying this to myself for almost a year. I have gained muscle, about 10 pounds of it this year, but thats nothing.

Lately I have seriously, and I mean seriously been working out. I have worked out each night, almost to failure, but not quite, on almost every muscle.

I will post my routine soon, I haven't decided on exactly what I'm going to do yet. I do have the basics though.

Mon- upper
Tues- lower
Wed- rest
Thurs-upper
Fri-lower
Sat-cardio/rest
Sun- rest


Like I said, I don't have a plan all writen up, with what exersized I will be doing yet, but I know the basics, and will have it completely done soon.

This is what I'm eating:


7:30AM - Baken and eggs, with 2 cups of milk, and my multivitamines
10:00AM - chicken, turkey, or roast beef sandwhich, plus a grain bar, and 1 cup of milk
11:30 - an apple, or other fruit
12:30 - Another sandwhich
3:30 - Any type of egg, normally 3 eggs.
5:00 - Small snack, normally a fruit, a hotdog, and so on. 2 cups if milk.
7:00 - supper. Again, it's hard to say what I'll be eating, since my mom makes random things. 2+ cups of milk
9:00 - Some left overs from supper 2 cups of milk.

Sorry I couldn't get the food specific, I like to change what I eat a lot.

My goal is to gain 20-30 pounds over the summer. Thats asking for a lot, and is probably close to impossible to gain all in muscle. I will gain some fat, but try and keep the BF down, just raise it a few %, the most I would like is 18%, I'm at 8% right now, so 10% is a big change.

I am currently, like I said earlier, 140+ pounds.

My goal 160+ pounds by the end of the summer.

Any fat gained while be lost when I'm done bulking, I will do a lot of cardio when I'm complete with my goal.

This is just a small goal, I plan on gaining much more muscle. I just want to start off my second last year different. I would like to start the year off no longer being an average sized kid, and now be one of the strongest kids.

I have all the gear, including weights, and I'm soon buying a summer membership for a gym, and will spend 3/5 days in the gym, if not more.

Any tips?

First of all, I kno it seems better to workout everyday, but it's not. Your muscle grow while you rest, not in the weight room. Therefor make sure you add in a few days of rest in between workouts when you right up your new routine.

Also I would cut cardio down to just once a week. If your goal is to bulk, especially 20lbs, you don't need to emphasize cardio very much. Save that for when you cut.

Lastly, good luck, and eat a crapload of food.
 
I am giving my muscles a 2 day rest. I work out, than the next day - they get to rest, while I work other muscles. Thats why I split upper body from lower body. Also, I have monday and tuesday, all I do is rest, no workout on those days.

I have cardio once a week, just to get my heart into shape, and get it pumping. Once a week will burn a small amount of what I've gained in fat, so it wont do to much cutting.

Food - Yep, I am eating tons, theres all that I listed + more that I just randomly pound into me. I'm going to need to do a lot of cutting when I'm done, but that wont be a problem, I actually like the cutting part.
 
IMO if you are doing an upper/lower split you should do something like
Mon- upper
Tues- lower
Wed- rest
Thurs-upper
Fri-lower
Sat-cardio/rest
Sun- rest

This way you get a rest in the middle and end of the week. Just a suggestion, do what you want.
