View Full Version : So I'm wanting to get into shape for beach season. I need advice/help!

So I'm straight/but curious and I was looking at other teens my age on google (nothing bad) and they all have pecs and nice abs. I'm doing P90X and I look at those pictures as motivation, because I look at the guys with all that and think "I can do it!". I have a few reasons for doing it:
Self esteem
For the girls
So I look good and so I can try out for my soccer team

So I have a condition which makes me need extra fats in my diet and I need an addition 2800 calories a day (if I'm not working out, if I'm working out I need 3800 calories a day). Ive kept restarting P90X 2x already! (I got half way through almost both times) My goal is to make it through entirely.

But concerns and questions I have are:

1. When I flex my abs while breathing, I really don't see anything! But when I flex them when I breathe out fully I see them. So I try to have as much air as possible escape my lungs, so then I flex and I have a pretty good 6 pack. With an ok amount of detailing. But of course I run out of air so then I breathe and it goes away. Is that normal?

2. I'm trying to get pecs. And I feel like all I have is man-boobs! When I breathe in, you can see my ribs and everything but when I breathe out you don't. Is that normal?
Also how long does it take to get pecs? (not bodybuilder status pecs, but you notice that their pecs and nothing else)
When I get pecs, will people at the beach notice? Do you have to flex your pecs to show they are their? (kinda like abs)

3. I have a few concerns with body hair and puberty. So my parents are kinda embarrassing when it comes to that. When my voice deepened (it actually didn't crack, but every morning it sounded super deep so I just never talked and throughout the day it went normal) my dad said (I was talking on the phone with him cause I stayed the week at a friends house) "Wow I didn't recognize you your voice deepened!" so then he told my mom while I was on the phone and she said "uh oh, it's starting". Then when I got leg hair (my mom mistakened it for puberty or whatever when I was like 10) my mom she said to my dad look he's got leg hair. But since that wasn't puberty it wasn't a big deal. So now I do have super dark leg hair, when I get out of water it's 2x dark. I've always been embarrassed about puberty cause my parents make it a big deal. So the last time we went to the beach I shaved my legs so I can avoid any comments. This time I know i can't escape it. And I've also got armpit hair. So we're going to the beach and I've been kinda worried. I'm very shy and I HATE attention (attention that's awqard at least). I don't know what to do, I don't wanna shave yet I wanna save the embarrassment. But I also want to show my body off at the beach. Help?

Also, what parts of the body should I save that's unattractive?

Should guys shave their back hair? Mines not hairy, but since it's dark it's noticeable. Also, how would I shave it so I don't miss any spots?






Thanks for your time!
