as i had figured, well you are certainly strong for 120.
however the fact that you weigh 120 indicates that you are not eating enough
i do eat alot, its just i work out a lot;i have powerlifting before school, football in the middle of the day , and then track after school.

No, you don’t. Cause if you did, you’d be a lot bigger. If you’re that committed to training, you need to be equally committed to eating properly. Yes, you’re 16 and that might make things a bit harder (or easier, depending on your situation), but now is the best time for you to get bigger and stronger. So get a diet plan happening, count your calories, and if you’re not full constantly, you’re not eating enough 
Not bad kid. Keep at it. Eat more, up your cals.
Just eat.

Have you even hit your growth spurt yet? You say you eat a lot, but do you have any idea how many calories you consume on a daily basis? I’d guess just by all your activities that you’d need to eat close to 4500 calories/day just to slowly move your weight up. And please don’t tell me your coach is making you stay in the 123 weight class, if so, shame on him!

if you want to get bigger i would strongly recommend cutting out the track, and taking considerably high doses of vitamin c for its cortisol sustaining properties

There’s no such thing as can’t. It’s simple maths: calories in vs expenditure. You’re obviously not eating enough for your activity level.
I repeat, count your calories and actually find out how much you’re eating (or not eating). You can gain weight, it’s just a matter of how much food it takes.
If you want to be a runner-I’m guessing your long distance- its going to be hard for you to gain weight yes. Your going to have to see what you want more, be long distance runner or actually have a decent physique and probably be a lot better football player.

Thats a link to the newspaper saying i got first in the 123 weight class about 2 weeks ago. Was my first time to ever max out so I only got a total of 755 for that asshole who doesnt think i can lift for shit.

Ok, I’m a bit skeptical. You listed your lifts as a 330 squat, 205 bench, and 370 deadlift right? Yet you only managed a 755 total at a comp 2 weeks ago?
330 + 205 + 370 = 905
Now from what I can see, that DL picture looks to be 295 lbs (looks like 2 45s and a 35 on each end). I can’t see the weight in the squat picture clearly, and something looks funny about the pic (do you have an extra right ear? funny shading around the hand), but let’s say it is 335. First off, why do you claim a 330 squat in the first post and then claim a 335 competition squat? Secondly:
295 + 335 = 630
755 - 630 = 125 lb bench
So you’ve put 80 lbs on your bench since the competition a couple weeks ago?
Whatever the case, a 755 total at 16 years old and 123 lbs is pretty cool, congrats on that. But something doesn’t add up (literally), what gives?
First of all, NOBODY gives a shit about the bicep.
With that said, the first picture made you look pretty ripped. Although i guess shadows made pretty much all the part in that.
Your other pictures present you as veeery skinny. My advice, bulk your shit up for a year or two, then worry about the looks.

Foxen is right. And with an “I can’t” attitude, it ain’t gonna happen. If you start with a base 4000 calorie diet for 6 meals, that is about 666 calories/meal. And don’t forget about nocturnal feedings. I like to take a protein shake and set it next to my bed so that in the middle of the night when I wake up to piss, I’ve got it ready to go. You’ll know you are eating enough if you are never hungry.
If at any point you actually begin to feel hungry, you waited too long to eat. Don’t forget about eating high quality foods whenever possible, plenty of protein. But ultimately, at your age, you should be able to get away with eating a fair amount of what I consider garbage foods.
And if your lifts are actually what you claim them to be, I assume you train pretty hard. Why would you only be serious about half of your training? The real battle when it comes to getting bigger is with the fork, not the iron. That statement comes courtesy of all the wonderful authors on this site.
I recommend you get off the forums and read the articles. These forums are the home of a lot of mediocre information spewed by mediocre sources. The reality: you don’t NEED to get bigger, nobody NEEDS to. But if you WANT to, this is a great time to do so. If nothing else…do it for the vagina.
My final advice. Don’t reply to any other comments on your thread. Being defensive will get you nowhere. Apologize for your naivete, vow to put on some mass, start reading, and eat like food is going out of style. Come back in two years, 70 lbs bigger, and then you won’t have to defend anything.
Hey dude, if I can grow, so can you.
I used to have that ‘i eat a lot and don’t grow’ bullshit attitude. After actually eating, i blew up – all under one year
those were the totals from my first meet. They were low bc id never been in a powerlifting meet and had to lift lighter bc they have different rules. I’m leaving for the regionals meet this friday. 200 on bench was my PR just in the weight room, not the lifts i got at the meet were i only totaled 755.
Im not a long distance runner, im a sprinter. I eat 4 meals a day plus Cytogainer 3 times a day.
My lifts arent actually really that great; im 3rd in the region right now with a total of 850 , but the 2 guys ahead of me totaled 1040 and 1180 but there both seniors.
So what do you eat and how much of it?
