17 Years Old. Training 1.5 Years, Lean Bulking from the Beginning

Chest is looking awesome dude.

Overall great progress!

Just keep working on your back overall, and bringing up legs and calves.

Legs are tough to judge because they just never seem to pop like the upper body. I’m just glad you showed them because that means you’re paying attention to them.

Chest and delts seem to be way ahead of your back which is understandable given your age. I remember my early years of training in junior high and high school and everyone did bench and incline while forgetting about the squat rack.

Focus on back and legs. Don’t ignore chest and shoulders. If you can build an impressive back and legs then the rest will also be there. That will keep you from becoming just another gym bro.

You have a great start. Nice work!

Thank you so much for the reply… I’ll accentuate more on my legs and back.

Thanks for the reply.I’ll keep in mind what you said.

Looking good man!
I will list what I see and give my opinion in them, just because it will be easier on me to write and for you to read.

Disclaimer: I would say everything could use extra mass. Take what I say about everything, and include “make it bigger”

Chest: Way ahead of everything else. You shiuld trybti focus a little more on the upper portiin though.
Back: You are wide, but not thick. That should ckme more as time goes, but doing a bit of upper trap work will actually help a bit with that. Make sure you are oinching your shoulderblades in your back mocements as well!
Shoulders: I personally like very well developed shoulders. It was said earlier that they were at par with chest, but I would disagree. This js all opinionated though, and I can see why the other believes that. I believe that you should put more towards hsoulders though. Especially the rear portion and lateral portion. Front is alright, bur still behind your chest.
Arms: Hard to tell really with these poses. You look as though you have a bit of tricep there, but there is no sweep. This could just be the angles though. Biceps kinda run into the same thing. Hard to tell.
Core: Hard to tell about this with the lighting. It looks like the abs could have a bit more thiught out love. Not more work, but more thiught out work. Obliques are easy to see though. Do you aim to hit these direcrly at all?
Thighs: quads do not look bad, but are behind everything else. Hamstrings cannit be seen at all, but I imagine the are further behind than the quads since they iften are.
calves: These need work. What dies training here look like?

To recap: I believe that you would benifit from tweaking form in pulling movements to better promote thickness, as well as includeing trap trainjng. I say trap because I mean all of it, nit just the upper portion, but also the low and mid. Focus on your thighs, calves, core, and less so but also your shoulders.

If you’re here looking for strokes–and there’s nothing wrong with that–then the pics you’ve posted are fine. However, if you’re looking for feedback re how you can improve your physique, you should provide appropriate pics–none of this filtered, IG-type stuff. Here’s how:

Stand against a white background. Have lights pointed directly at you from the front (ie, no severe, overhead lighting). Turn the camera’s flash on. Take full-body, straight-on pics from the front and back. Make sure your waist and thighs are as exposed as decorum/good taste will allow. Flex your lats, abs and legs some, but otherwise just stand there. If you want to add a double-biceps front and/or back shot, that’s OK.

If you’re seeking feedback, post pics that are the most revealing of your physique, not the most flattering.
