-Ever-

I don't care what any of you guys have to say, you all seem to have done sufficient research but still all go against eachother. One thing that I will comment on though is that I don't recomend power lifting and reaching fatigue at only 3-5 reps for such an untrained, young kid. That will put way too much stress on everything *but* his muscles. I guess it's all relative, however I'd assume to start off building stabalizers and getting used to proper lifting way before jumping into low reps.
Do yourself a favor. Go to 24 hour fitness or a local nice gym and organize a few personal trainer sessions. They'll size you up, ask you about your past and give you a much more personalized method, which is why I think listening to the guys on the board is a bad idea. Different things work for different people, and no matter what type you are, power lifting without any prior training for a 16 year old is pretty bad news IMO. You'll be wishing you took your time in your elder years.
Just my .02
