Underage and Raising The Bar!

[user787877877]

About me:
Been lifting for like 1.5 years? Acutally bulking for a little over a year. Struggled in the past with eating disorders and physcological issues, but I'm pretty past that, and working on it day by day. I plan on entering Powerlifting Contests as soon as I can find one nearby with a decent fee and entering my first bodybuilding contest in 3-4 years. Wanna go pro natty in my lifetime

My 1 year progress thread can be seen here:

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=116689661

Stats:
16 years old
5' 8.5''
~185lbs
~13%bf

Best Maxes to date:
215 bench
456 dead
392.5 squat

Goals:
By the end of summer I would love a:
500 dead
435 squat
245 bench

Diet:
Currently with how busy I am it's a mess, but when I have time and during the school year it is:

bulks(6-10 weeks)
3000 cals
190g pro
~420 carb
~62 fat

Cuts(2-6 weeks)
varies, but around 2000 cals, and 220g pro, 45g fat.

Routine:
I feel I am very fast twitch dominant and am able to add weight to the bar daily. I have had great success with powerlifting routines, but for the past 6ish weeks have been toying with a power/hyper routine like Laybne Norton..I will be trying other routines in the future to see how I respond to them.

Upper Power
Lower Power
Chest/Back Hypertrophy
Shoulder/Arm Hypertrophy
Leg Hypertrophy

Rest days are taken depending on my schedule, I lift 4-5x a week.

-Wrists are DYING on squats, not as bad as last week though. I may buy some wrist wraps and see if it helps, if not I'll return em.
-11 hours of work...no protein, ate some rugela and grapes.LOL. strong pre bed tonight.
- so tired last night I went to see Public Enemies with a friend and slept through 80% of it.LOL

[TheManofSteel]

- the wrist wraps have helped me a little bit HOWEVER I've never had pain in them while doing squats...

- What do you think is so sh-tty about your squats?

[Blue Blazer]

Your squats look good to me, good hip drive and looks like your knees are bending first, hard to tell, but from the vid, looks a o k brah

Oh and...

IN AND SUBBED!!

and of course....

THOSE SQUATS ARE CRISP 100 DOLLAR BILLS BRAH!!!...compared to my fcking penny squats lol :thumbsdown:

[too_small]

[GetBigyo]

Subbed. in for epic progress

[XanderMander]

I'm hitting up this journal like a fiesty hooker.

I wrist wrap on low-bar squats, it definitely helps.

strong (as ****) squats are strong (as ****)

[ONpump17]

1st page up in dis bi*ch.

[thebasil]

wtf is this new journal ****. and that title! NOT subbing!

serious!

squats looked fine, maybe could use a bit more hip drive, but i'm only saying that because i think that's what mine need. so it biases me when i look at squat videos.

<3

[piszczel]

Strong squatting Zak, I do however have few comments.

You're leaning forward too much, that's the reason you can't get low enough. These were parallel at best. Focus on keeping your chest up, and maybe try thumbless grip around the bar, it helps. The bar could be too low down your back, I've seen that happen too many times, and it probably is in your case since your wrists hurt - your back isn't capable of supporting the bar by itself (not that it's weak, the bar is just in an uncomfortable position), so you have to help with your arms.

I'm mirin deadlifts though

[B-Neva]

subbed omfg

[The Solution]

FIrst page... sit back a bit there bro!

[PokLim]

strong colours. Orange and maroon. Like a boss brah..


And zak, does the bar hit the rack if you try to go any lower?? Cause those were just about parallel. If you wanted to get the hip crease below the top of the quad ****, you needa get an inch or two down..

[TheManofSteel]

You're leaning forward too much, that's the reason you can't get low enough. These were parallel at best.

100% agree

You have too much back flexion. Focus on keeping your chest up and and eyes on the ceiling...

also make sure your breathing sequence is right!

[too_small]

I h-h-h-hope you're gonna start wiv some incline work todayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

[user787877877]

too shallow and too much forward lean.

ahh thanks for the input man, I use a thumbless grip, but like the weight is sittng on my wrists too and it hurts like a bitch, I could bust out another rep if that wasn't happening.
