Need feedback!

[harley3318]

Hello so I'd like to start off by saying I'm a 15 year old male and I recently (5 months ago) really started to take lifting serious. I want some feedback on if you guys think my numbers are good or if I should be higher then what I am right now. And I'd also like to aquire a really good physique but im not sure if I should go into a powerlifting style first to gain size? And then start trying to stay lean longer or? And I forgot to mention I've been on a bulk for 5 months And I'm trying to determine when I should cut. currently sitting at 144-146lbs.

Current Stats
Bench: 200 lbs (Super close to 205)
Squat: 265 lbs (Hip flexibility is bad hard to get paralel)
Deadlift: 245 lbs

I'd go lower on the weight on squats if you can't go parallel

Pretty good numbers for someone that has been lifting for 5 months. Keep working hard! Watch some videos on youtube to fix your hip flexability problem, the MobilityWod page might help

it's weird though because even with low weight it's the same I struggle to get parallel . I go as low as I would with no weight so I'm good there. Just need to work on my hip mobility

You don't need power lifting to gain size man. Just continue a nice steady bulk where you keep gaining. And eventually when you build a nice solid base you can cut down and see what you've been working on.

good stats for 5 months, way better than me @5 months. but, youre 15 and 5'4, so you certainly arent done growing. id say bulk bulk bulk until you hit your growth spurt. the last thing you wanna do is cut weight, hit a growth spurt, and be skinny as fuark

Your numbers aren't bad. Your bench is really strong for 15 and 5 months lifting. I would focus on low rep ranges on bench, squat and deads(like 5 reps or less). You should add in negatives/forced reps as your last set or two on bench. Have your spotter let you do the negative on a weight 5-15 pounds heavier than your max and you do the negative part of the rep and he spots you on the way up/positive. Do this for as many reps as possible as a burnout. I would bulk for another 2 months or so or until 155 and then cut to 148ish then bulk up again. Rep ranges 8-12 are for mass gains and 6 reps and under for the biggest strength gains. Reps from 15-50 are for light weight and cutting phase. Powerlifts should generally be less than 5 reps. Keep it up

I'm going to Florida this summer and I don't wanna look like this I'm Starting to gain a little too much fat for my liking which I'm ok with for now during this time anyway, but do you think it's alright if I go on a cut for the "summer body" and then start my bulk up again around the September time?
