Time for an update, haven't posted here for a long time. Looks like the thread hasn't seen much activity too.....

I am steady at 166-170 lbs after my long bulk from 125-128 lbs. I must be at...

Back is rounded from the start, will become a problem at heavier weight

I had the same issue and my inability to keep a neutral back was due to -

Lack on control on lower back, just couldn't...

Always a good idea to benchmark your lifts based on your BW and your training experience http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.html

I know folks who think benching 120 lbs...

Head position slightly out of alignment on some of the reps. Anything beyond this, I'd be nitpicking

By the time the bar breaks the floor, your back is almost parallel to the ground though you are trying to start with an inclined back by squatting down a bit. I guess you have proportionately longer...

I would add RDL's to lower A and Lunges to Lower B

Maybe knock off calf work unless you are too particular about it

This is good progress for 10 months

This is too early to be asking "do my genetics suck? when will I get buff?"

After the noob stage the limiting factor will be the diet when it comes to size....

I never bothered too much about the technicalities. I just managed to find a way of squatting (through trial and error) that my body was comfortable with where I could move some respectable poundage,...

At 125 lbs it's damn easy to bulk on food. A weight gainer will come handy only when you get to a stage where you cannot eat any more than what you are eating. That will take years to attain

If you really have been diagnosed with a digestive/any other illness, disregard this. Else read on.......

I kinda know this feel. I suffered from bronchitis as a kid and I think I was as thin as...

Looks ok at this weight but you are only pulling slightly more than your BW. When you get to pulling 1.3X your BW for 5 my guess is your upper back will start to round since you ain't getting much...

The only mass gain program that has worked for me is more food. As long as the routine is half decent, you should gain muscle unless you are already quite experienced

As for your routine, I'd go...

Been some time since I've posted here. Had to take a step back since I am settling into a new job that has me traveling 12-15 days a month, couldn't do much lifting over the past 3 months but I am...

Probably too light for a form check, from what I see looks ok though

Not sure if it's a good idea to try and reach for that much depth at the bottom position, once you go below parallel you should be fine with whatever feels natural

But pretty good overall IMO,...

Discard the trainer. Getting to 180 lbs at sub 5% ain't a joke

If you are looking to increase strength the routine you posted may not be the best

To gain 15 lbs of muscle your lifts have got to...

How much do you OHP?

Not exactly skinny but low on muscle mass

Get on a proven routine built around compounds, you should see visible changes in 5-6 months

Too heavy for a form check, get a video closer to your usual working weight

If your back rounds that much, you gotta deload and work on your form before pulling heavy
