18 years old (just had my birthday actually)
5’ 10"
170 pounds
5 months ago I was 128 pounds and pathetically weak. I recently tested my max dumbbell bench press and it’s 175 pounds.
I won’t have access to a barbell until college, which makes my lower body days a little harder, but I’m making progress with lunges, squats with dumbbells in various positions, and one-legged squats with a dumbbell in the opposite hand.
Good progress, still a long way to go.
Nice wheels, and certainly packed on the lbs fast. You must be doin something right.
Keep eating. That stance is hilarious.
Congrats on your progress. Your quads look great. Uni-lateral work is fine for now as it will help iron out any imbalances.
BTW, 175lb dumbbell bench? You have 87.5lb bells??? If that’s not a typo you’ve got a strong DB bench for your size!
Keep it up man.
40 pounds in five months. That is a good job. Keep going.

Yes, I can adjust my dumbbells in 2.5 pound increments. Also, I’m definitely fast twitch dominant so that helps with my max lifts. I’ll post an update when I have something to show for it.
Happy birthday. Now hit the gym. Don’t wait til college.
