: At 15 years old you have the highest testosterone levels in your body
: than you'll have the rest of your life. Steroids shouldn't even be an option.
: If you want to grow I'd start taking a good look at the routine i was doing.
: Make sure you vary your workouts, and to train no more than 90 minutes at a time.
: Make every workout more intense, use forced reps and some negatives. Put on an extra 2 1/2 plate on each side,
: crank out a few more reps. You've got to tax yourself to the limit. Intesity is the key.
: Be ure to do plenty of core lifts like Bench, Squat,Rows, and Deadlifts.
: Most inportant being the squats. The most important key is get enough rest. REST is the key to Growth.
: Don't get discouraged, and don't run to a quick fix when you hit some adversity.
: Don't cheat yourself. Beside at your age the side effects could fuck you for a lifetime

A word of caution. . .
Don't go overboard on the forced reps, negatives etc. as most strength/size coaches know, these techniques should be used sparingly.
for example, on your bench do some forced reps on the last 2 sets out of 4 every third week. the rest of the time DO IT ON YOUR OWN, OR DON'T DO IT!
The reasons behind this are sound. Even with a huge amount of testoserone, rest, supplements etc. your body can only take so much super high intensity.
After getting beat up on to many times it will call it quits and you may just start losing size, getting nagging injuries etc.
remember this, the body is no different now than it was a few thousand years ago. when you were out dragging your sabre toothed cat back to the cave you
gave yourself a rest before going on, someone didn't help you every few hundred feet!
damn I love analogies!
Hope this was helpful
