I think it sucks that you made up your mind at such a young age. But I think it rocks that even though you're so young, you're experienced enough to start working on weak points in your physique. So congrats on that.
In regards to all the pro's doing it. There's a few misconceptions I must convey to you..
1) The pro's don't construct their training programs. Their trainers do. So when you see guys like Ronnie Coleman saying to do his "Ultimate Back Routine", and you see twenty different angles of exercises in there, that doesn't mean each one targets a couple of fibers in each "piece" of his back lol. It means that he does an unGodly amount of chemicals that'll enable him to absolutely torch his entire back without overtraining. That's all that means.
2) Just because they are massive and pro's doesn't mean they know dick quite frankly. They have personal trainers, doctors, nutritionists, ect (ie. an entire team) that'll get the absolute MOST out of their GENETICS. So when they have a "one on one" in the latest Flex issue, and the 180 lb writer asks them what brings out the "upper chest", of course they're going to say, "Um, inclined anything". Or if they want to make a name for themselves, they could say something completely stupid like, "My 'secret' is to do 4 sets of incline DB presses on every click up of the incline bench until I'm almost 90 degrees in order to get that very tiny hard to reach top strand sitting just under the clavicle." Sound stupid, right? Tell that to all the other 15 year olds that read that shit like it's gospel... Ahem.
Here's an analogy for everyone. If you can draw a line in magic marker seperating your upper, middle, and lower pecs and work each piece... Then the same can be said to your quadriceps (quad = four). So go ahead and find me different exercises for each piece of your quad. Now, I don't know about ya'll seeing as I've been away for quite some time, but I'd still be willing to bet that most of you would probably settle for a couple of heavy ass sets of squats and hit them all with fury!
