I've been working out on and off for quite some time now, but only got serious about it 2-3 months ago. I apologize in advance for not taking any 'before' pictures as it just didn't cross my mind at the time. =/

So, some stuff about me first of all:

Age: 16
Height: 171 cm
Weight: 61 kg
BF %: Last I checked, it was 14%. (Sometime in January)

I also apologize if the pictures are badly taken, ie lighting, etc. =/








I'm open to some comments and constructive criticism. =)

I'm involved in a lot of sports like football and basketball, so maybe that could account for the atheletic-y look you mentioned? And also, I used to do gymnastics, so that gave me a pretty good foundation, per se, for my physique. Yeah, I kinda figured my biceps could do with some work too. As for how much weight I can handle, the last time I tried, I could bench about 135 lbs. Not a lot, but still something, yeah? I've never tried to find how much I can squat. though.

I've heard about the heavy weights issue, which is why I don't train with any weights too hard to handle. The reason I started weight training was, for one, to supplement my game and for general strength. I mean, nobody wants to be sent flying from a simple tackle or a push in a match. Secondly, more or less so I'll look good, because I enjoy taking care of my physique. xD

My routine is
Monday - legs, abs
Tuesday - biceps, shoulders
Wednesday - cardio and abs
Thursday - triceps
Friday - legs, abs
Saturday - chest, back
Sunday - rest day

I have football training on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I don't do very intense workouts afterwards. And I do place quite a bit of emphasis on my abs, just 'cause I like abs.

@JonYeap: The measuring tape tells me my right arm is 13 inches and my left is 12.5. =/

Hah, at least I finally have an idea of what body-class I'm under. xD

For the eating part, it's a bit easier said than done due to school. I don't have a problem with preparing food for the day, the problem is I can't just start eating whenever I want in class. =/

I've been following my own workout schedule for over a month so far and I seem to be doing well. So, I intend to go with it for another month or two to see how the gains are. I'll probably switch things up after that.

Awesome body, mate! =D

Speechless.

Took this after I got back from the gym. Biceps and shoulders day. I kinda like this picture. xD



@noone: Gymnasts wouldn't be that big, though. Being bigger and heavier if you're a gymnast is a very big disadvantage.

That's a superb body! =O

I can't lift anything near to what they're lifting.

And what was it that some of the guys were sniffing(?) at various parts of the video?

Can someone scan the page? =D

Only if you've got hairy legs. Else it probably doesn't hurt as much. =/

I can't even bring myself to eat one raw egg, let alone 10.

Meh, your coach is awesome!

You never know.

Some new pictures after today's gym session. Mirror tells me I'm getting gains, or at least I hope so. >_>



I'm still in need of more chest and lats, I think. Comments and critiques apreciated.

Love incline DB presses, but I'm doing them with lots of caution now since I injured the ligament in my elbow, so my ROM is slightly cut down and it's light weights for me for now.

Thanks. Chest's being stubborn. =/



Thanks for the comments too. Alright, shoulders and chest.

Been training seriously for about 4-5 months so far. If I created a journal, it'd just collect dust. Wouldn't have enough time to update it.

171 cm, if I remember correctly.

Rows are one of my favourite exercises.

Best day of the week.

My delts and biceps are tiny compared to yours.

Chest, arms and shoulders are coming along well.
