Hi, I'm just curious, I'm 17 years old (taking SPM as this thread is being made), I weigh a pathetic 53kg @ 6.2% bodyfat percentage. I've only recently been interested in the world of sweat and iron, started 'berjinak' in June 2013.

Let's just say I have one of those ectomorphic frame. I do have the shapes and bulges, but I only weigh 53kg(55kg at my peak). I'm now balancing pure bodybuilding with powerlifting but with more emphasis to powerlifting.

Currently very addicted to deadlift. My 1 rep max is 100kg or 220lbs. How's that for a 17 years old Malaysian with a Malaysian diet weighing at 53kg? Average? No?

later batang x naik because waist dah kaput....

Very good. Almost double your BW. Just make sure its in the correct form yes?
Keep it up!

Im guessing that happened to you?

lol, is there any scientific basis to your statement?

Yep, I take pride with my form... Don't want to ruin my back

hahaha....no lah....just precaution......"form" is very important.....

no scientific proof.....just old folks saying.....

I'm oldskool

very good! keep up the good work. if you powerlift, u might wanna bulk more. then u can carry even heavier. do more core workouts. strong core can lift heavier

Hahaha... petua orang-orang tua la ni...

Gaining mass is really difficult for me, yet I eat a lot for someone of my size. I eat at least 5 meals a day, most the time it's 6-7 meals a day. Mass gainers are out of my league, for now that is...

Add that to my upcoming PLKN! Damn, those 3 months that I could use to bulk up and add maybe 50kgs more to my deadlift. Not that I hate PLKN, it's just that I have better plans after SPM is over(work, gym, programming).

Now, if only they provide gym 24/7 at PLKN , then I don't mind going at all.

i'm just like u. I used to weight 60kg. i kept eating non-stop n lifting. Now i'm 71kg. Just keep eating n sleep b4 12am (8 hrs of sleep). u will gain weight sooner or later. PLKN is a waste of time. i kena also. Not stressful, just boring.

time to put something for comparison :

LOL! A Raw Class IV, but close to a class III. Can't believe a woman could even get past 300 total though .

My bench press is at 50kgs, squat at an embarassing 80kgs. I don't quite like those two powerlifts, only done squat twice because the gym at my place doesn't have a squat rack .

Gotta get me some motivations... and some whey and creatine, maybe xP

hey, we teh same age.

anyway, great poundages there. Your bodyweight to poundages ratio are amazing, and a 6.5% bf. I may lift heavier than you since I started way before 16 but my height and weight is very much more than yours. Where are you based anyway? just curious because I'm pretty much sure if a high school dude lifts he must be from either KL or klang valley.

f*** tmr's moral paper and all the best in spm hahaa!

Wow good to know!

What's your 1 rep max? and how much do you lift for reps? I could do 80kgs for 8 reps, 3 sets, but back in the day before SPM trial when I was at my 'peak' lol. I'm at Bandar Baru Bangi man. Chill-Up Fitness at Seksyen 7, Bandar Baru Bangi is my port. Though quite lacking in equipments. RM5 per entry for students, no way I could afford membership for now, maybe after PLKN.

btw good luck, last papers next week... 9 papers, 3 days in a row, wtf...

for DL my PR is 300lbs, with straps and belt. working sets is 200lbs for 3rd set, reps is 10-12. Cutting phase now in preparation for Dec holidays energy levels have dipped like crazy recently hahaha.
my gym student rate per month is RM70 ish. And if you happen to be based in PJ you can see most people around our age in gyms.

I'm honestly cant imagine how the last Bio paper will be for me, gonna be tired as shit.

I've reach a point where its so difficult to increase.. How to get more poundage? Go heavier or more reps?

Maaan... impressive numbers! . Your sets almost dwarves my rep max, I'll try to borrow some straps and belt to see how much further I could go. Lucky you to have a cutting phase , I'm one of those 'always-bulking' type, the most I could gain was 2.2kg and that was during Hari Raya by eating dirty, really dirty. BF percentage went from 5.8% to 6.2% lol...

RM70 seems appropriate... yeah it's not just in PJ, I think gym culture is spreading everywhere around here because I don't notice this trend a few years ago. School holiday is going to be both grace and disaster at the same time though. I'm expecting to find some skinny dudes with their herds crowding the gym taking selfies, group photos and don't forget bicep curls at the smith machine ....

BTW what's the most you've seen a 17 years old deadlift in your area? It seems I'm the only one here powerlifting, kinda boring...


Well, if you've reached your plateau, from my days worth of research(and procrastinating) led me to one conclusion: lift heavier, less reps. It definitely works for me, when I first started, I could only do 45kg tops... Then I exponentially increased it to 60kg, then 80kg, and finally 100kg just before SPM. And I started from June

It's widely known lifting heavier promotes greater growth and strength increase. But then, I'm so new to this, hope others could give some advice.

trust me, with belt you tend to compromise your form a lil bit cos it feels damn comfortable with the belt supporting your back. straps with mixed grip is very comfortable for me hhaha. My friends more or less lift the weight more or less close to mine. But damn 6.2% is effing low bf, I'm around 18% ish.

RM70 is quite heavy for me at times, cos my 1 month allowance is around RM100 and usually I have only RM3 0 to spend on entertainment. might want to go to a college with a gym with save some cost there.

How tall are you =D I think that makes some difference. But keep it up!
