14 Year Old Bodybuilder - 12 month transformation (Pictures)

[edwardsu1]

Hey TBB, names Edward Su.

I've been training seriously for around 12 months, and would love your opinion on my transformation. I was a typical lanky asian with minimal muscle mass and like everyone else.... All I wanted was big arms, a huge chest and abs. I started off with a pair of old, rusty dumbbells at home, following "Sixpackshortcuts" and "Scooby's" home workouts. As my knowledge progressed, I became more competent and educated in terms of nutrition and exercises, although my form may never be perfect, I always aim to learn from my inaccuracies.
Critique and advice on what parts i should focus on first, to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing look would be extremely helpful and appreciated. I am currently on a PULL/LEGS/PUSH split and train 4 days a week at my local gym.
Thanks

Seriously, 1 year
Used to only train arms, abs and chest for a few months, so it was obvious that i was ignorant and clueless. haha

[FullyAsian]

Woah good progress but you're really lacking lower back

[edwardsu1]

Thanks!
Well then, back extensions dont work :/

Yep I find the best excercises for the back are deadlifts and pull ups

[edwardsu1]

Anything else?
Or is it just my lower back that is destroying my aesthetics?

he's a manlet of peace, he'll look good but won't lift impressive numbers, his lifts look ok in comparison to his bodyweight

Manlet? Considering I'm 14, im hoping ill grow to at least 178 cms, or 5"10.
I hope anyway............

I highly doubt that i'm the biggest, even if Pinkton got banned..
I'm sure theres someone bigger than me at my age, just wanna know what he looks like.

[BeGeezy]

good **** buddy keep it up

[destructivewill]

looking good my dude, but i think that you need to work on your shoulder a bit because if you have huge traps like those you need shoulders to match.

Thanks bro, and i've noticed my shoulders are kinda lagging, but it's not really in my control :/
I don't want to do OHP, supposedly, it'll compress my spine, thus damaging growth plates in my back, therefore stunts my growth...
That's why i dont have a major compound movement for my delts. Currently, im doing upright rows, but im feeling it more in my traps that anteriors... so.. :/
Any other exercise i could do?

i did the shoulder press, and that seemed to work for me or you can try some of the ones on the site
