congrats!

don't focus on diet at your age - your body is producing loads of test already so just make sure you eat plenty and get your protein in and you'll grow regardless!

if you focus on bulking/cutting you'll end up cutting calories at a stage in your life where you're growing all over, and you're not obese or anything so there's no need to worry about it.

This. Take advantage of your teen years and bulk more than you cut, as you'll gain muscle the fastest these next 3-4 years. I would bulk until 160 or so, then you can cut.

Notes

So happy with bench. Possible reasons why I had one of the best workouts ever:

-Watch the Kai Green video and he emphasizes the mind how you got to believe you can do it. Strong mind connection.
-Ate more than usual
-No music makes me concentrate better



I will do 54kg next time aswell. I will not let my ego throw me out the window.










Should I Bulk up or not? im 64kg (143lb) with lots of belly fat.

You're gaining weight fast, that's good! Wish I gained some weight.

Had to improvise quickly for this as the bag I used last time got taken away so I used a jimsack bag but had to tighten it up as the weight would fall off.

Notes

The eating more or/and doing weighted clap push ups may had an effect on my benching!

[rasse226]

I think it was the extra calories that helped you

[Blade96]

89kg x 7 (95kg if bar included)

How do you go up 1kg and 0.5kg on lifts? Using micro micro plates?

Press
5 x 39 (85.8) -1kg
5 x 39 (85.8) +1kg
5 x 39 (85.8) +1kg

Went down to neck level Don't know if I should do 40kg or stay at same weight. My ego will probably get me to do 40kg.



Deadlift
5 x 92 (202.4) +1kg
2 x 95 (209) +2.5kg

Ok so Iv used up all the bar space now...WUTTODO!?




Clap Pushups
8 x 5 (8.8) +0kg
8 x 5 (8.8)
8 x 5 (8.8)

Felt a pain from the 3rd rep of 1st set but carried on.



Barbell Curls
8 x 28 (61.6) +0kg
8 x 28 (61.6)
8 x 28 (61.6)

Form was better. The deadlifts kill my biceps. Could flip a coin whether to stay at 28kg or 29kg next time.

[rasse226]

Buy a real bar, or if you already have a real bar buy real plates

[Blade96]

i will in 3 mths. what can i do now? Ill improvise next time.

[rasse226]

Do more reps, thats what i would do. Or find a way to make the bar heavier

I when I made numerous threads on how to gain weight and improve my bench people just replied what at first seems useless and not well though out 'Eat more'. This actually is they key. Iv been eating like 300-500 surplus a day.

Good to see progress in weights, keep it up!

[Blade96]

Is it okay to have sufficient protein on your off days and not worry about calories? Is having enough calories on your off days equally important as having enough calories on your working days?

[UngeneticAzn]

If you're looking to bulk you need to be in a surplus every single day.

Hmm not bad. Im hoping the reason for this is because I used my 2kg plates which are actually 2.26kg but I just rounded it. So really I benched around 56.5kg and the increase might be a little to big. I normally increase weight by 1kg- not 1.5kg. REDO
