Hi, was just wondering what would benefit me the most. I’m a 15 year old kid, i weight about 163 pounds, i don’t know my body fat but I’m pretty sure I’m skinny fat.
At 15, I don’t give a flying squirrel’s ass what your bodyfat is, and neither should you. As long as you’re not Eric Cartman-obese, don’t sweat it.
But the main problem is, is that i have uneven arms in size and strength, my right arm is bigger and stronger than my left
The majority of people have a size/strength difference. It will start to sort itself out once you have some consistent training.
Would using the barbells make my arms more uneven since I’m using barbells and there is a chance of the stronger side cheating?
Even with a barbell, the stronger side won’t be able to cheat to help you lift it.
That bar will end up crooked, you’ll notice, and you’ll work just as hard with the weaker side to complete the lift.
Should I even out my arms first or go on Starting Strength? which would benefit me more in the future?
First step, two to three weeks of laying a general foundation:
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Squat 2x15 (No weight, keep both feet flat on the floor.)
Push-up 2x15 (On your toes, go until the chest almost touches the floor.)
Lunge 2x15 (Alternate legs, 1 rep left/1 rep right.)
Pull-up 2x15 (Assisted, or front pulldown)
Plank 2x15-count (Hold the top part of a push-up, on the toes/arms straight, keep the whole body straight. Count to 15.)
Burpee/squat thrust 2x15
From there, moving onto Starting Strength would be a solid next step. But yeah, in the mean time, pick up a copy of the second edition and start learning about the program.
