I've gone around reading and asking aloot in hopes of finding the correct way to strengthen myself. I no longer am concerned for my height and if my growth will be stunted or not.

I've learned that eating properly is a key factor in getting and keeping fit, and ive decided not to bother with any supplementation like creatine or whey protein. Ill just stick with my vitamins

I also know machines are not a good idea for children at my age (14).
At first, i thought that weight training = BICEPS BIGGERR, but i now dont care much for my biceps. I also dont care for my chest as much as other people do (those who go to the gym JUST to bench press) instead of the bench press i decided to go with the pushups.
What i really care for is my back and my legs, when i train, i go for the compound movements like pushups, pullups, chinups, squats, etc.

I've also recently started doing lat pull downs and rows, i was wondering how many reps i should be doing on these and at waht intensity. And same for the squatt?
