Well i have been reading through these threads and i would like a more personal response.
I have just joined the gym today and have a target of 6months to get a more 'defined' body...
i have been looking at protein shakes and am looking more towards
' http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=100&prodid=566 '
mainly focusing on chest (abs, pecks) for show on holiday also looking at arm and leg definition but not as much;
Height - 6ft
Weight - 143lbs
16years old..
i will take pictures if wanted..
can someone please state recommended amount of protein a day and routines i could do to reach my goal..

EDIT:
Sorry i didn't add more detail about current routines ...
I currently have no specific diet, i basically eat anything when i'm hungry and they aren't particularly healthy.
A normal day would be wake up and dont eat anything before college, have a sausage bagel at around 10:30ish ... then wait til 1 for a chicken burger, 7' pizza or a tuna sandwich then would just eat crisps and chocolates until around 6 when i have either chicken or pasta meals.

Current exercise is football on thursday 5.45-7 which consists of a short warm up jog stretching then straight into 4 a-side games indoor on astro turf.
And i 40minute each way football game 11-a-side on saturdays..

I am quite skinny but extremely i am average build for a 16y/o.

I dont have a particular routine as it was an induction day at the gym today so i havent really started properly yet hence why i would like someone to plan me one out :)

by a mile over h&b

are you quite skinny or carrying a lot of fat currently?


*edit you're 143lbs.

I'd probably just say eat more, make it healthy and do something along the lines of Rippetoe's starting strength. Get plenty of rest and play a sport/do some cardio on a couple of the rest days. 6 months later = profit.

Oh and try to get your protein from whole foods, only use powder if necessary. The advice in the sticky is pretty sound although newer research shows that the 5/6 small meals a day thing is not the only way to go about it.

Do you actually need the additional protein?
what is your routine like and whats your diet like?

pics would be a good start, can give you an idea of what is possible then.
 
Without sounding too harsh, you need to understand that there isn't going to be a quick fix and looking and your current diet you're going to need quite the shake-up in order to get decent improvements. Having said that, if you're willing to put in the time and effort we're more than willing to help!

PLEASE understand that to have a "good" body you need to have balance. Just working on your chest will end up looking silly, trust me. This is probably just the area that you notice on other guys (not accusing you of being gay here :P), be guys who have a good physique have decent development everywhere. The fact that you haven't even mentioned your back (even to say you aren't going to work it) is concerning.

I don't have time to write a routine out atm but if someone hasn't I'll do it later.
 
Lean bulk then cut a couple weeks before your holiday. The above is all sound advice and remember:

Train legs.
 
Yep that pretty much covers it :D

Seriously, do starting strength. Once your weights stall (although they really shouldn't) you can switch things up.

The last thing you want to do is start by specialising on certain body parts. A good routine will take care of balance on it's own, so your chest and arms will be growing as fast as they would be as well as the rest of your body. Good times.
