   2kg can do nothing for you. Go hit the gym instead.

   if you done enough reps with good form with 2kg you will get ripped eventually.

   Ignore the above post.

   The only problem is different muscles are different strengths. If you try to do rows or shoulder shrugs with 2kg weights you’ll be there for hours before you feel anything.

   A 2kg weight isn’t going to do much. You’ll need to use a weight that limits you to around 8-12 reps.

   Any repetitive stimulation to muscles will fatten up the myofibrils. 2 kg isn’t that heavy so I don’t think it will get you "ripped." You’re still young and there’s plenty of time after you’re done growing.

   You are correct — for two, three maybe 4 more years, you should avoid very heavy dumbbells or barbells.

   Those dumbbells are correct weight to do shoulder isolation exercises :

   Do the front- and side-raise s-l-o-w-ly to get most benefit.

   To build chest-muscles, use bodyweight namely push-ups. Here are 19 variations
   (start with kneeling/box push-up if you need to; but get to "regular" push-ups and after
   5 weeks of "regular push-ups", then start including the "–with shoulder-tap", the "pike".
   and "spiderman" push-ups)

   For abs, do regular plank for count of 30 seconds, then do "alternating superman-plank" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqInglWU-Tw

   Hi Tom
   2 kg dumbells are okie, but u need to do 15-25-30 and even 50+ reps in some cases

   as per ur age i don’t suggets heavy weights till u turn 17

   but just dumbells won’t help, use exercises which use ur body resistanace like push-ups, sit-ups, chin-ups, dips etc. (min 15 counts till u can do)

   here is a sample workout and diet, pick dumbell exercises and avoid exercises like squats, shoulder press etc

   Exercise:
   ——–
   Divide muscles in 3 groups

   Chest / Triceps:
   Bench press, dumbell Flies/ Curls (lying on bench), inclined dumbell press, pecdec
   overhead dumbell tricep curl, narrow grip bench press, narrow hands push ups, dips, bending triceps dumbell curl, overhead barbell tricep curl

   Shoulders/ Legs:
   Shoulder press with dumbells, shoulder press with barbell backside, military press, front dumbell raises, side dumbell raises, shoulder shruggs
   Squats, spot running, lunges, Calve raises, dumbell squats, leg pullies

   Back / Biceps:
   Pull ups, Front Pullovers, back pullovers, barbell rowing, dumbell rowing, single dumbell raises,
   Biceps curl with dumbell, hammer curls, biceps curls with barbell, biceps curl with bend barbell, concentration curl, reverse curls

   You can combine Abs/ wrists workout each alternatively with above muscle groups, you can do wrist curls with light dumbells, barbells, reverse curls etc. For abs you can do crunches, leg raises etc.

   Reps:
   For 1st month make stamina and muscle strength in you. Do sets of 15-20-25 reps with light weights (reducing weights increasing reps)

   You will become lean and well shaped with above workout

   Now come to gain muscle size, start with moderate heavy weight now, u will do 12-10-8 reps now (increasing weight reducing reps), if require take someone help to lift heavy weights. We call it spotting.

   All the best..u can anyway im or mail me for more info..

   For strength, you only need one set (8 to 12 reps) till you feel the burn and then need to rest and let your body repair stronger.
   For bulk you need several sets, going down in reps and up in weights, like doing 8 reps with whatever weight you can handle, then doing 6 reps with a heavier weight, and then doing 4 reps with an even heavier weight and so forth.

   2kg is like what? 4.4lbs? Either you’re joking or clueless.
   Teenage boys need 10lbs weight, then 15lbs, then 20lbs, then 25lbs…over a few weeks period until they need a gym membership (or they volunteer there) and can use gym weight machines.

   At 14, don’t go bench press 125lbs, your body weight, just yet as you need to mind your growth plates.

   Lifting weights will stunt your growth for a couple of reasons. One of those reasons could be that the best bodybuilders are short, so people will assume they’re short because they lifted weights instead of growing. A person needs a certain amount of calories just to be alive, breathing and digesting…the Metabolic Rate. Then you have to add all the calories needed for activities (walking, moving around and doing anything). Then if you’re a growing teenager, you need several hundred calories more just for growth. Weight lifting and building muscle mass require a massive amount of extra calories. It is understandable to think that a person could use his “growth calories” for energy for muscle mass building, and therefore stunt his growth. Even an inactive teenage boy would need between 2,200 and 3,000 calories. He would have to eat more than that if he’s active and even more than that if he’s lifting weights and building muscle mass. Eating thousands of calories every day requires a lot of know-how and discipline, especially if you’re not the one doing the cooking, you cannot just eat tons of high calorie fast food junk and clog your arteries. It could be said that taller men are not bodybuilders because they already require a lot of calories, because of their height, and it’s just too hard to eat more. Also, the body always adapts to your goals…if your goal is to lift weights, you will do that better if you’re short so you have a better center of gravity and the weight that you have to lift over your head will not have to be so far off the ground. It’s a strong possibility that your body could adapt and stunt your growth to make you a better lifter.

   Another reason to stunt your growth could have to do with the growth plates which are where your bones grow, near the end of each bone, when you’re still growing. Growth plates are very soft and fragile, more fragile than ligaments. Their purpose is not strength; their purpose is to grow more bones. They’re the weak link.

   Adults over the age of 21 do not have growth plates. They’re done with their growth and their growth plates hardened and became as hard as the rest of the bone. When lifting weight, you put a lot of pressure on your bones and joints. If an adult puts too much stress on a joint, he will tear the ligament (that hurts!).

   On the other hand, if a growing teenager puts too much stress on a joint, he will get a growth plate fracture instead (growth plate fractures used to be life threatening or left you crippled if you survived). Messing up with your growth plates will mess up with your growth. Teenage boys will most likely get growth plate fractures than tore a ligament when being injured in any sports.

    2KG IS ENOUGH FOR YOUR AGE IF YOU REP IT OUT. I WOULD SUGGEST DOING I HOUR WORKOUT AT A TIME OR AS LONG AS YOU CAN AND DOING 1-2MINUTES PER EXERCISE AS FAST AND AS MANY REPS AS POSSIBLE IN THAT TIME AND WITH GOOD FORM
    LUNGES,SHOULDER PRESS,SQUATS,DUMBELL FLYS SKULL CRUSHERS, TRICEP KICK BACKS,SHRUGGS, ETC TO NAME A FEW
