[zeromagnus]

legs? what kinda numbers are you pulling for squats/deadlifts?

[kmac6225]

yeh bro lets see the wheels

[xdexterdaix]

i dont really work my legs as hard as my upper body, a bad habit i need to break, but here are some more pics

tell me what u think

If your legs are really as weak as you say they are, that's all I can tell you to work on, everything else looks pretty decently proportioned.

Ditto. Doing so will launch to the next level very quickly. I used to be the same way..all upper body training with no squats or deads. Once I started I jumped up about 20 pounds in weight.

Gotta build the foundation before the rest of the house.

not being a ****...but you sure those are 18" arms or is that fully pumped?

i agree w/ everyone else on the wheels

I was going to make the same comment earlier...I just didn't want to be the first one to be a ****. LOL

[zeromagnus]

i must agree...i dont believe you on the 18" arms...definately not 18" cold...let's see a tape measure pic dex...

[zeromagnus]

oh yeah...and if you were my weightlifting partner, you would have no choice but to do legs...you would do them until you liked them...or until you stopped fighting me and coming up w/ stupid excuses like "i gotta throw discus tomorrow"

[Jergo]

Easy fellas....I think he looks pretty good for being only 18 yrs. old. I know what I was doing when I was 18, and it wasn't lifting weights.

Good job bro, keep it up and by 20 yrs. old, you'll be something else....I only wish I could have taken advantage of that age bracket then....

[zeromagnus]

also, are you getting enough protein dex? you should be getting somewhere around 300g/day...

[xdexterdaix]

ill take some more pics towards mid week,
but as for supplements, after i finished the bag the u helped my buy (erik) of ON whey , which was about 6 months ago, i havent gotten anything else..so im pretty much living off chicken breast and skim milk.
ohh yeah, and ive been taking creatine on and off, but nothing more than that
and as for the arms and the rest of the measurement, those were taken pumped.

and i have a new PR, today i bench after almosting kickin one of my suitemate's arse, and i jumped to

265 x 5

all the adreanline, i guess...maybe i should pick fights more often
but erik knows i wouldnt hurt a fly

[JBlaze]

you have a good base dude, especially at 18.

if i can make a recommendation it is to go to fitday.com (its free) and log in your daily food, and see where you're at on protein and calories and such. I can almost 100% tell you that chicken breast and skim milk is not nearly enough protein and by using fitday you can see what you need to increase. It should do wonders.

[JBlaze]

oh and another thing. try to have someone else take your measurements, perferablly someone who knows what they are doing.

Dont get me wrong, i hate to keep dwelling on this, and i'm not trying to be a ****. I mean i dont doubt you legitimately tried to take your measurements, and although they were taken pumped, a 50" chest on someone who is 5'7" looks a bit different than your pictures

once again, not trying to be a ****, but i'd have my measurements retaken, not pumped by someone who knows what they are doing. The main reason being it is a good way to have an idea where you actually are currently and how much progress you're making.

[zeromagnus]

yeah...give us a side chest shot so we can see this massive 50" chest

[bigpetefox]

I'm 5'-9", same weight, the same measurements or even more.. Not a flame, but I don't feel you have a 50" chest.. Buy a MyoTape, you can measure yourself better with that..

Looking good so far, though!
