    Nobody believes me when I tell them I end up a bit sore from my abdominals when I finish a set of proper form, full ROM Pull-Ups or Chin-Ups...But as you point out they are helpful in this motion so you are not doing a sort of "Kipping Pull" by keeping the core and lower body stationary.

My maxes from the my last day of lifting(i had my 38year old powerlifting comp winner gym mate make sure i was using proper form so when i say deadlifting its deadlift not straight legg deadlift most fools my age use) I benched 275, squated 405 and deadlifted 435.

    That you are strong but you do not look big or huge for how much you weight or lift. You must be pretty dense at least, but you do not have any signs of hypertrophy or huge mass increments, which can be good if you are strong that way for competitions, thus you can rank in a lower weight class I guess. Good lifts and sad choice of sport (just my opinion, I have no respect or liking of soccer...I prefer football). You should consider football though, you could do so well if those lifts and strength are real (not doubting you, just saying).

    Thanks for the reply. I can not play football do to a medical reason. I do carry most of my weight in my legs, since i started lifting at 13( for football, i found out i couldnt play at 15) all i did was legs. What do you recondmend for workouts during ny season to allow me to improve even ever so slightly

    ps supps- protein, multi, fish oils
