Yes you can surely go to the gym. But refrain from doing too much weight training as that can have an effect on your vertical growth and dont overdo anything. Follow set regimes and routines and concentrate on the abdominal muscles for 6 packs. But keep patience as it takes a few months to develop. Take care. Dr Rishi.
