just curious on what i should do. I am 6 ft and weigh 155, i am only 16 years old. I want to know how much i should eat and what to eat, how many times to work out during the week and how many exercises i should do to get to 165- 170 lbs, of lean 6-8% fat while still getting pretty big. I want to get bigger but I also dont want it to be fat so just wandering.

-eat 5-8 times a day in small portions
-get 170 g of protein a day split among your meals
-eat about 350g of complex carbs(yams, lentils, brown rice, sweet potatoes, any fibrous carbs 30g(black, red, green, pinto, lima beans))
-healthy fats(olive oil, fish oil, avacados, nuts, etc) 40-50g a day

Focus on small meals, split evenly in these categories, with 3-4 snacks between meals(trailmix, nuts, fruits, sandwiches(no mayo, 100%wheat/rye bread), beef jerky)



For training check out powerlifting thread....you should probably do major movements, at moderate weights(although it's not recommended to do explosive movements for higher reps b/c form breaks down after 3-5 reps...I think you should wait a couple years before going this low)....so you should probably do Squats, Deadlifts, Pull Ups, Cleans, etc for 8-12 reps....focus on going lighter, and using good form, and exploding with the weight....Ask Gatormade in powerlifting forum for more suggestions...
