my son is getting taller but wants to add a little muscle for the upcoming football season whats a good work out for his age?
Best answer:
I would suggest taking your son to see a trainer at a reputable establishment. Granted, that costs money, but those guys have gone to school to do that job, so they're usually pretty good at it.
Other than that, it's tough to establish a weight program for youths because they're still growing and their knowledge about their bodies is still relatively sub-par; this increases the chances for injury, and as I'm sure you know, any injury to the growth plate of a bone can be devastating.
Though I'd recommend machines more than free weights, it's important to remember the major muscle groups that you can exercise. With the arms, it's important to focus on shoulder strength, and the biceps and triceps. Grip exercises are possible as well. The back (upper and lower), chest, abdominal and oblique region, quadriceps and hamstrings, calves and tibialis anterior (or shin) are all areas for consideration.
It's also important to balance the lifts. For example, if you do a pulling exercise, it's important to do an opposite pushing exercise (e.g. pull-ups and dips, bench press and one armed dumbbell rows, etc.), though these don't have to be done on the same day. Also, make sure your son gets rest between workout days. Excessive training can be more dangerous than not training at all.
I could go on and on, but those are the basics. Good luck to you and your son on the upcoming season.
