in your first picture you look like you have just received a ractal examination.
personally I think poses always look muc better when the facial expression is more relaxed and normal, this way it doesn’t look like you are trying too hard.

I just don’t have the time to get in that often now with school/work/sports so realistically turns into 3-5. [/quote]
hell yeah, summer was pretty productive for me i thought and can’t wait until next summer for training purposes. i ate nonstop, slept 12 hours a day and had no other shit to worry about so my workouts were a lot more productive.
He’s putting the lights on the floor to give off the illusion that he’s more defined than he really is.
Shadows are a bodybuilder’s blessing.
Forget the lights for a minute. Nice work kid! I have lifting since I was 10 years old. I have one done everything from competing in the good will games trials, to playing baseball. You are making excellent progress. You have a long way to go and grow. Just remember Rome was not built in a day and you will not be either.
You need to start doing squats and deadlifts now if you are not already. Squat at least once a week. Deadlift both stiff leg and regular and never never never never leave these two lifts out of your routine. If you want to be “big” and “strong” do what the big and strong guys do work your back and legs. You look like you are doing ok.
Focus more on your rear deltoids. Most shoulder injuries could be prevented if people just balanced out their shoulders. So to sum it up good job. To learn do squats, deadlifts and rear delts. Pound the hell out of your hamstrings, and do not touch steroids until you are at least 21. Keep it real and forget the insults all these punks gave you.
I think a dedicated Arm day is a waste of time. Throw biceps onto back or shoulder day, and triceps onto chest day, or something like this.

Exactly. A dedicated arm day is kind of pointless unless your a body builder. Isolation won’t really help much. Especially with your level of experience. Overall mass, strength, and building will come from compound lifts. Such as the squat, deadlift, bench, and olympic lifts (hang cleans, power cleans, etc.). So good luck, this is my 2 cents.
Good use of lighting. I really enjoy photography and one thing I know is that the lighting makes the picture. The wrong lighting can make you appear less defined than reality, the correct lighting more defined.
Anyhow you are only 16 and I would say it looks good. You can stand to gain weight, but of course you are 16 and it’s probably difficult. Try adding a few shakes with milk, protein powder, two raw eggs, and half a frozen banana. Drink a few of those a day and it should help you beef up a little.
6 days a week is OK but it depends on the intensity. If you go hardcore every day, lifting heavy and such 6 days will be too much. I usually use one day a week just for screwing around so to speak, push ups, dips, and light exercises.
And remember young blood, “JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS, BE A PROMISE MAKER NOT A LAW BREAKER…” just kidding, that was gay.
Food is good.
