Before starting your sessions, do some cardio to get the blood pumping. For a 16 year old I would do at least 30 minutes before the start of my session. Hope it helps.

Looks like your off to a good start, I would think for your age you may need to increase your cardio. Keep up the good work.

I would probably alter it. It’s not going to be very effective working large muscle groups such as your back and chest in the same work out. Check out some online sites and read the magazines. There are tons of workout routines that you can try. Remember to allow variety in your routine. To truly progress, you should focus on more than simply cranking out a certain amount of reps for a static number of sets. Muscles grow best when worked to exhaustion.
