Training my 15 year old brother in law

I did a search but didn't come up with anything.

Right now I am teaching him the basics of lifting and making sure he has correct form in all of his lifts. So far he is doing pretty good at not wanting to jump into the heavy weights. My only problem is that he can only train for 4 days a week and I do a five day split. Any of you guys know of a good split to do that will still help me reach my goals, yet stay simple enough to keep him from becoming overwhelmed?

Thanks.

No reason at all to take a beginner over 3 days per week for strength and mass building. 4 days would absolutely be tops. 5 days per week would kill him IMO.

That was what I was thinking but I am trying to figure out a good routine for both of us. I still haven't really found anything as of yet.

Why don't you just train how you normally do and when he's there to train you could try a schedule like this one for him...Cutlers Beginner Program just an idea, good luck

If you were looking for a mass building routine that you both could do, try an upper/lower body split, or simply design a routine based off of the 3 big lifts. If you need to add a little volume, then go for it, but I think if you were going for mass, 3 days would be good, even for an advanced lifter. Besides, you could always add a 4th day for auxillary muscles for yourself. Two good routines from both of these concepts...

Day 1
Flat/incline Bench
Military press
Dips
(add your extra exercise here)

Day 2
Squat
Leg curls
Weighted abs
Calf raises

Day 3
Deadlifts
Pullups
BB curls
(add your extra exercise here)

Other option

Day 1
Flat bench
BB rows
Military press
Skull crushers


Day 2
Squats
Deads
Calfs
Abs

Day 3
Incline bench
Pullups
Laterals
BB curls

Only thing I disagree with Shortz routine is the Deads. He really needs to learn how important form is before adding and advanced lift like this. It can hurt you so bad so easy. The squats are iffy, make sure you are always there and nit pick his form when doing it.

If no deads then have him do t-bar rows or bent over rows.
