16/17 Year Old Going To the Gym :)
I go to my local gym about 4 or 5 times a week on average I'd guess. I love going to the gym, particuarly the weight training, and it is one of my biggest hobbies 
Just wondering if anyone is roughly my age and goes to the gym, (age doesn't matter too much i guess) and has any good exercises/routines/tips etc. for weight lifting in particular
Also what do you consider to be a good weight to lift for someone at a particular age and weight for certain exercises??

Well the routine I'm currently doing is chest/triceps, back/biceps, shoulders, legs and arms, for five workouts a week with rest days thrown in whenever. Incorporate in supersets (two different exercises in a row with no rest in between), drop sets (where you exercise to failure then simply drop to a lower rate and continue) and if you go to the gym with someone else negative sets (where you load a slightly heavier weight than you can actually lift and your workout partner aids your reps) and you'll be massive in no time.

Im 17 and I started going in september. I go once a week and quite frankly I am a novice when it comes to using the gym.
I do not have time to go more as I play for a football team and work.
I would also appreciate any tips about using the gym as well.

Going once a week would result in very slow gains but yeah. You could try 2-3 full body workouts a week.

Don't worry about it, your football will give you a good athletic lean look adding in the odd weights session and your good to go with a decent diet.
Even going once a week you'll see results, always remember someone telling me this: Rome wasn't built in a day, neither was your body.
I'm in the same situation as you! I'm meant to be on a 3 day per week workout, but due to work and college I am currently working on a 2 and 3 when I can, consisting of Bicep and Chest. Tricep Shoulders. Back and legs. And when its the two day a week, I alternate between back and leg on the second day split them over the two days.
