What training cycle are you following? Got an overview of the whole thing and/or a normal week?

OP, ignore Brackee. You won't stunt your growth or hurt yourself as long as you train intelligently. You're small and new to lifting, so you should focus on higher rep work to build more muscle to...

OP, you should give more information. How can we suggest how you should change your routine and diet when you haven't told us what your routine and diet are to begin with?

You should do what breathinglife said and read the stickies on programming. Sounds like you're following your own training routine, which probably isn't wise given you're 14 (no offense, but it's...

I don't have an article to cite. But basically it tenses the core, which allows for more stability/better force transference. Same thing as holding your breath on a heavy rep, albeit to a lesser...

Going from low bar to high bar can be useful, but changing your stance more than that is going to give you more benefit, if your quads really are lagging. If you change to high bar, but keep...

One of the worst experiences and feelings. Sorry to hear about that.

Could be a strength imbalance. Or maybe you just lost a little balance and shifted your weight to your right leg. Or maybe you put more weight on your right leg because that's your under-hand, and...

No problem. Your deadlift seems fine. At your strength level, I wouldn't worry so much about sticking points or strength/weakness in certain ranges in your lifts. The proportions of your three...

I've also noticed that higher frequency and volume lessen DOMS significantly.

2nd. I thought you were the guy in the picture lol. You are doing really well as a female.

Lol. I wasn't saying you were wrong by any means. Just that a lot of people will have trouble with it. I used to "try" to deadlift like that. I'd setup up that way every time, but when the weight...

Do you use chalk? And do you use mixed grip, or was this with double overhand? Nobody else asked these, so I figured I would. If you were using double over without chalk, changing one or both of...

^^^ A lot of people will have trouble with that starting position. And it's not necessarily the optimal starting position anyway. Because it's the deadlift and not a clean, it's okay to start with...

I prefer 13 for everything. Some people like 13 for squats but 10 for deads. It just comes down to personal preference and how you wear the belt. If you wear the belt higher up for deads, 13...

Without access to a gym, the only thing you can do is improvise with what you have. Bands aren't a bad idea. You can do pushups with them and some upper back stuff too, if you're creative enough. ...

Sorry about the cycle not going like you had hoped. Do you know what's wrong with your shoulder exactly?

On a somewhat related note, where do you put your hands on the bar when you squat? And...

Given your height and weight, your goals might be a little difficult unless you plan on gaining a good bit of weight, which you should anyway. I think that total is definitely achievable in 8 months...

I understand. Being lighter/leaner isn't necessarily a bad thing. Strong 495 SLDL haha

Looks like your squat is getting stronger again. Bench not bad as always. What's your bodyweight looking like these days?
