Impressive definition for 15. Good separation in your traps/rhomboids, as well as the typical “mirror muscles”. Have you been deadlifting and squatting? Looks like your low back could use some thickening … as well as your quads and probably your whole posterior chain. Your biggest fault, in my opinion, in your lats … maybe it is just the way you are posing, but I can’t see em!
As the other posters said, eat up. I am in a similar boat, except significantly older. I eat a ton but the scale does not change. Don’t be discouraged, use the extra energy for those heavy lifts. Keep us posted.
The most important thing I realized when I started lifting, was see what other people are doing, and do the complete opposite. People might not know what the fuck you’re doing, but in no time, you’ll be bigger and stronger than them anyway. njrusmc said it right, get those bat-wings to bulge out a little and kids your age will think you’re a fuckin’ monster.

Thanks guys. I’ve decided I will start bulking with clean calories (Hleathly shit tastes better to me anyways) and I’m geting that starting today slowly raising my caloric intake to 2400 to begin with. I have been at a measely 900 a day :o
900 calories a day??
That’s starvation rations, my friend! Yeah…eat![/quote]
2400 would be starvation rations for me!
OP - Why raise your calories slowly? Do you know how many calories you need for maintenance? If so, add 500 and off you go.
Assuming you want to get bigger.
As a base physique - you’ve got as much potential as anyone else. For your age - yeah it’s good. Well done on shifting 70lbs of fat too. In fact, looking at you - very well done.
Now don’t fall in to the trap that you are doing great as you are. Eat lots and lift heavy. Your T levels are peaking now and for the next few years. Don’t worry about a few pounds of fat on you, use that natural T and plenty of food to really get some beef on you.
Thank you for the responses guys. Yes I have been deadlifting and squatting, alot =) my routine is based on the EDT w/ full body workout (i tend to have more fun doing full body to be honest)
pr zone 1: 15 minutes
A1: Squat
A2: Chin up
Rest 5 minutes
Przone 2: 15 minutes
B1: decline pushup (feet on bench)
B2, wide grip pull up
rest 5min
przone 3: 15 minutes
C1: front squat
C2: Deadlift
rest five minutes.
I do that every other day, with mid week two day breka in between, so 3x a week. Its shown me alot of progress although I’ve been really beat lately because of it. I’m looking to swithc it up a little as its been a few weeks and I’m not sure if itll lead to over training. Any reccomendations?
I did a general 5x5 full body for a few months but I wanted something more challanging, I barley broke a sweat during those, now my shirts soaked. Should I just be eating more/get more sleep and pull through my EDT?
I have a story very similar to your’s. I was about 60 lbs over weight. Except I didn’t really start doing anything about it until I was around 14 or 15. Now a bit over 2 years later(with a year of slacking off), I have barely started weight lifting (with cardio of course). Anyways, considering my best friend was body building since the age of 13, I can tell you you are in pretty good shape for 15. His results were very similar to your’s at 15. Don’t give up and keep trying. You have a lot of potential. Just depends on whether or not you want to be train to be a beast or if you want to train to be “pretty”. Whether or not you wanna cross the pretty line, thats up to you.
Well Now that I’m 16 as of a few weeks ago =P Wish I could updated the title rofl. Anyway wanted to throw in a bit of an update. Finishing with my current training and taking a few days off before I switch to Bill Stars 5x5 for about a month before I complete my home gym and switch to an AM/PM split
If you’re gonna do the 5x5, you should do it for more than a month. At week 4 in the program, you’re just getting back to your current 5 rep maxes. You don’t start making PRs until week 5. I would try to go 10 weeks or so if I were you. You should actually keep going as long as you can make progress. It’s a good program.
