UPDATE: New pics-five months back in the game

[malachi7]

I need opinions on how my shape is coming along. I quit bodybuilding 13 years ago and began again 5 months ago. My arms began at 14in, now 16.5. Chest 43in, now 45. I am 5.10 at 187 lbs. I currently workout twice one week and three times the next. It falls this way because I take 2 days minimum to rest and recupe. My son wanted me to post and he started lifting with me. He said he wants to be like dad. I told him to be like dad when he gets buff. Any opinions are appreciated. I am currently bulking so I know I may get advised to cut up. Not ready to cut up just yet, only building a base right now. Malachi7

Lookin good, but why is this in teen bodybuilding?

I agree man. Your bf is relatively low. You don't need to cut just yet. I made the mistake of cutting to early before, it's not worth it. Keep on bulking.

Tahnks for the replies guys. I will look for a recent photo before I started lifting again. Trying to get my son to post. He is only 12 yrs old but doing well.

12 years old. What time of training is he doing. It is never to early to get in shape but I was taught that heavy weight training is can stunt growth for anyone under 18. I wouldn't build muscle at the expense of height. Still there are workout that are safe for him to do.

Man I wish my dad lifted so I could have gotten started earlier, that's cool and your looking good man.

I took that into account but my son is currently 5'8 and the doc said he will likely grow to be atleast 6''3 to 6'5 due to his shin length. He doesn't need to worry at this time. I am only working on getting him into shape so he can prepare for the future of bb but only if it is something "he" wants. Malachi
