    Post Critique My Workout Plan

    I am a 17-year old, male, 5'6, ~121 lbs (~54 kg). I have lifted on and off for up to four years. I am in the phase of (dirty) bulking and have been eating anything I can get my hands on while drinking lots of milk, juices, protein shakes, and especially water. Before I get started, I want to address the order of importance of my routine - strength, mass, endurance. I am not looking for any pretentious opinions nor am I here to display how much of a "bro" I am. In all seriousness, I am in need of professional, non-professional, and the experienced help.

    My main goal of focus is to become stronger, which I am easily doing myself with each day passing. However, being pound for pound isn't always the best thing. I want to gain mass (I do not care if it is fat. I am knowledgeable to know that someone cannot become substantially stronger without having some fat). Therefore, I am putting more focus, respectively, on my quadriceps, calves, glutes, hamstrings, biceps, chest, and forearms. I have fairly large/muscular triceps, lats, traps, and abdominals. I am not dumb enough though to toss aside the exercises that target those muscles. There will just be less emphasis on those compared to the higher-priority ones.

    On another note, I have a very fast rehabilitative rate which allows me to work the same muscles less than 48 hours after they were trained. However, I know not to over-train and will not do so unless otherwise forced to in danger. My routine is warming up 30 minutes before lifting weights or exercising strenuously. I perform static stretching for 10 minutes, dynamic stretching for 10 minutes, and warm up reps with heavier loads each time prior to lifting heavy. On my lifts I will take up to two minutes of rest on the 5x5 lifts and up to one minute on the other lifts. Afterwards, I cool down by performing static and dynamic stretching for another 20 minutes. Before ending my day, I take one hour out of my time to stretch my entire body to the extremes. I put great emphasis on the peak stretches for 10 seconds, then slowly retire to a lesser strain for another 10 seconds and rest 10 seconds before performing the same stretch. I repeat it at least three times for each stretch, which adds up to at least 35 minutes of consecutive stretching. This is just an outwards reminder for those who do not stretch often before or after lifting and wonder why you don't find yourself improving, becoming injured, and/or feeling too sore.

    I eat a little before my morning workout. Warm Up. Lift. Rest. Eat right after morning workout. Rest some more. Eat prior to my afternoon workout. Warm Up. Lift. Rest. Eat after my afternoon workout. Rest some more. Eat prior to going to bed at about 2200.

    I will try to post photos of my current physique, which is by no means anything special nor is it pathetic. I do not know my current body fat %, however I do consider myself muscle, skin, and bones.

    ADDED: For those who just want to know my current one maxes.
    Back Squat (225 lbs)
    Conventional Deadlift (245 lbs)
