Hey guys,

I'm 15 almost 16, and I'm a smaller kid. I'm 5'7" 120lb. and I'm trying to bulk up. I don't want to affect my growth by lifting too much or incorrectly, so I want to make sure I do this right.

I bought the triple threat bars for protein, and I usually have one a day. I've been eating a lot of meat and trying to stay away from anything unhealthy (McDonalds and such). I do a lot of running, pushups, situps, and I just got a pullup bar so I've been trying to use that. I also do curls and lift in small moderations.

I'm about 7% body fat on my torso, 7% on my triceps, and 6% on my back (got tested for wrestling, but I didn't follow through because of my problem with gaining/losing weight quickly). For sports, and MMA I want to know how I can get bigger. It'd also be nice to fill out my T-shirts better. I'm not all skin and bones, I do have some muscle, and I'm very fast and agile. I want to see raw strength, and I've had trouble getting bigger for a long time.

Sorry for making a big write-up, and I'm sure you see a lot of these threads. I just want to know specific workout techniques and what I should and should not be eating. I have a lot of time after school, and I'm dedicated so I'll stick to what ever you guys tell me. I'm too young and small to start fighting, but I want to make sure I'm in good shape for when I do.

Thanks.
