My first post was merely an answer to the title, though it was not full.
( actully it was like a raised hand to the question );
In my second post, I was wondering why a peson would post an answer "No, I wouldn't really quallify as a bodybuilder" when the author wanted bodybuilders to answer, and not to get answers as that.
My third post here is just a pointlees off-topic answer to your question.

Why don't you train at home?

I don't bodybuild, I bodybreak, and I've got the knees to prove it.

This is my weight lifting -

I'm amazed I still have vertebrae after ten years of this.

Pitbull, do you wear a belt when you lift? I've heard people who wear them end up with weaker backs? (Also, I spoke to your parents and they said you're only nine years-old. When you hit puberty you're going to need your own ozone layer. )

I was quite into it when i was your age around 16-18 but i had a bit of an accident when weight lifting and had abit of a weird blackout which quite honestly scared me a hell of a lot.

I'm still big but i've toned up more with more cardio and with quicker and lighter reps than slower, heavier ones.

Also watch your back man, i remember sometimes coming up to fast with a squat or coming off the bench doing some weight exercises and damaging my back quite badly and nothing hurts more than a bad back imo.

Me i do heavy wegihts six days a week (3leg,3chest) usually 4 sets of 4 or 6 this helps build muscle quicker

[King Arthur]

cheers 'strike for the south'.
at the mo i do a split day treaining regime , one day i do my pulling muscles biceps etc and the next the muscles involved in pushing triceps etc..
and 3-4 sets of 12 reps
any advice which would improve this?

[Strike For The South]

are you dong light or heavy and are you trying to tone or build muscle or both

if trying to tone sets of 12 at 50% is good

if both sets of 8 at 60-70%

if muscle sets of 4 or 6 at 75-90%

Note: This isn't a set thing its just the way I approach it
Good Luck

[King Arthur]

[Strike For The South]

[King Arthur]

Have a look at my "Getting fit with SwordsMaster" thread. You might find some useful stuff there.

Right now I'm looking at reducing bodyfat without running for hours....
