Bad technique. He should do the full ROM (range of motion).

that was proven false. as long as teenagers work out properly, working out doesn't stunt their growth or anything.

wait whats wrong with his pushups? his back was straight and he was going down to 90 degrees!

He needs to go all the way down to his chest when benching. I cant stress how annoying it is i find people trying to cheat by not going all the way down. fucken...

I liked the part where he skateboards... quality exercise. On a more serious note, he is basically not doing anything right in this video

Common sense would tell you every exercise is wrong. Using common sense or an hour on youtube will show him how to have proper form. There are many resources on the internet showing you sample workouts for what you what to achieve. None of them recommend blasting through a workout in 7 minutes, doing seemingly random single sets in 3-5 seconds. There are specific bodyweight exercises he can do if he doesn't have proper weights. He needs to spend a few hours online reading and watching. If he doesn't want to do that, he needs a friend / trainer / anyone who has ever exercised before to show him proper form.

pick 7 excercises for each body part (bis, tris, legs, chest, shoulders, back)

split days like this
1 - legs
2 - back
3 - off
4 - chest (don't bench the top 15% of the rep otherwise you work your shoulders)
5 - shoulders
6- arms
7 - off
etc.

Do 15-20 total sets each day ranging from 7-12 reps per set. You should have 4-5 diff. exercises per bodypart except tris and bis, which should be 3-4
Throw in calves/ abs every other day and do 6-9 sets of 2-3 excercises (if you feel these necessary; i trained calves for a year and a half with very minimal results and now i just skip them entirely)
I usually put deadlifts on my back day, but every now and then i'll do stiff legged deadlifts on leg days

Eat 200 calories above your maintenance (what you'd eat to stay the same weight)
Pretty simple.

I started as a scrawny 135-140 pounder and i'm about 200 pounds now 2.5 years later
theres some pics of my progress here if you care

I don't think starting out with so much isolationary work is a good idea for a starting bodybuilder.

Why not? The kid is 19 years old he probably has atleast a very mild muscle mass. When i started doing my plan i was smaller than he was.

lol this has to be a troll right?

I don't even know where to begin, but i'll try.
-You don't cram a bunch of weak weight in as fast as possible in a workout. (should take like an hour total)
-You have horrible form:
-Swinging arms around on curls with that shit, im laughing as I write this.
-Benching like 80 lbs~ super quick, don't be ashamed, bump it up to more weight and do slow controlled movements.
-Same with the pushups, you don't fall to the floor, and then push yourself back up. You slowly lower yourself down and wait a half second and slowly push yourself up. breathing for each stroke.
-Singing some gay song 'between sets' lol are you asking to be ridiculed?
-Same with the terrible skateboarding.
-You need to not do half assed crunches and hold them til it hurts.
-Just looking at the impatience of you in the video seems like you have ADD or just lack of focus on working out.
etc



What are the goals of your workout? Do you wanna lose weight or get buff or what?

If you want to do just upper body strength here is a workout that I used.
Tools:
Bench Press, Pull up bar, Dumbbells, Chair
First start out with jumping jacks and arm windmills and other stupid excersizes and stretches for like 10 minutes. I'd do 20 jacks, 20 big wind forward, back, then 20 small forward and back, then lots of arm stretches, which are hard to describe but can be looked up.

3 sets of benching 5-10 reps of hard weight, try to add weight every week or so.
3 sets of curling 10-15 reps of decent weight, try to add weight every week or so.
3 sets of chin ups (start with a goal number and just try to do a couple more every time)
Same with pull ups (should be able to do at least like 3, 2 to 3 times more on chinups)
3 sets of butterflies with dumbells, there are different forms of this, do some research
3 sets of tricep dips, you can use the benchpress but It's safer to use a chair imo.
3 sets of pushups you should be doing at least 15-20

Then I'd add some cardio at the end, either running a mile or just jumping around and hitting a punching bag.

All of these sets with a few minutes in between of each other for rest.

Afterwords a protein shake with lots of fruits. And the next day I'd take off for rest and muscle recovery.

I know this isn't 100% sound advice for body building (in fact some of it is probably bad) but it's still a pretty healthy workout.

Also, it really helps benching if you can get a spotter. It really limits you if you can't push yourself just because of the danger element. I have gotten stuck for a few minutes with some weight on my chest lol. It's also nice to start a workout every time trying to do you max weight bench and you should definitely only try this with a spotter.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

lol again, that is NOT me XDDD it's my friend!

But thank you for the extremely high lvl insight Charlie I'm amazed O.O, also had a couple lols reading it, I'm going to give this to him word by word asap. Hell, I'll make him read this post honestly! And don't worry, he's at like 0% (beginning) so I think anything that's sort of organized and consistent will do, then as he gets better, he can go for something more advanced.

+ Show Spoiler [offtopic] +
Btw, how do you deal with plateaus? I just reached a bench press plateau @ 155lb and can't go up higher for some reason x_X I was thinking of dropping the weight a bit and trying to do 5x5 and THEN increase it again (1 step back, 2 steps forward kind of approach).

Better to stretch using lighter weights than regular stretches, or you can lose a lot of strength for the lifts

And as for what I said about isolationary work most high level body builders agree that it's better to start with compound lifts or at least some of them before moving to heavy isolationary work i.e. 7 groups, 5+ a week workouts. Deadlift, squats, cable shit, bench, military press, etc.

Meh, i use all of those excercises you described as compound on my "isolation" days. I spread out stuff like triceps and bench/ back and bis so that they aren't effecting eachother.
