Feedback About Back/Shoulder Specialization Routine

Since I don’t believe I have said anything disrespectful, I don’t really see how your age is relevant.

In addition to that, you are wrong. I do want other ones’ opinion, and even if I keep replying to other users’ advice that doesn’t mean I am not taking into consideration what they say. As a matter of fact, I’ve been dipping into waterbury’s articles and routine since he’s been mentioned here, and I am really considering to start doing one of his programs.

So any kind of advice and feedback is really welcomed, but I don’t see a point in posting about you not posting, hope that makes sense to you dad

Lol… ok son :wink: LOL if you really want feed back. I looked at your other thread and I can honestly say you dont need a special program specifically aimed at your shoulder.

At the moment as people advised you in the last thread you just need to add more mass onto your frame. You’ve made good progress looking at your pics from when you started…

Good … I personally at this point IMO think it would be the best option until you have more time under your belt and learn more …

Most I assume some people… myself included are concern you would be sabotaging the progress you have already made. By jumping on a specialized program focusing on a single body part in this early phase of your development.

I have kept doing the split that I posted in the other thread which received positive feedback as well.

I’m currently eating 2-2.2k calories a day (I do track calories), so I kinda upped them but I’m not really bulking.

I know what all of you said, but while I do have the long term goal of putting on more muscle and become much bigger, I also want short term to be kinda shredded for the summer. I was an idiot to start cutting in January but hey, I had done things very poorly during my very first bulk so I had gotten really fat and didn’t know how long it would take.

Now I’m planning to just stay at roughly maintenance calories until April comes, and then go back to cutting until I get at least a better definition in my mid section.

Then I will wait til the school ends, in June 15th (my schedule will change and I will be able to train in the morning like I did last summer), and I will start bulking, this time I plan to do things properly and I will gain much more muscle (since I will be training way better as far as technique and with a sound plan) and way way less fat. I will be using waterbury method routine which really looks good to me, and as far as diet I’ve read an article here on t nation which I really can’t remember the tile just now.

It was basically about progressive overload applied to diet, and consisted of progressively adding calories to exploit metabolic regulations.

How’s that sound to you?

It sounds like you are so busy defending your yourself, you are missing the big picture.

Stop the micro management.

I don’t like to rock the boat on this forum because it is by far the most valuable training aid I have come across and I respect all these guys giving their feedback

That being said, I will give you my honest opinion. You sound to me like you are considering what others are saying but more wanting approval to cut. You’re very small to be cutting. You’ll probe quickly realize how little muscle you have and regret the feeling of being scrawny. Meth addicts have abs and they’re not picking up chicks at the beach.

Your goals are your goals tho and I encourage you to pursue them. In the longer term you will have learnt a few valuable lessons if you do; it doesn’t hurt to know how to cut at any given time and you should ALWAYS take the path YOU carefully decide on for yourself. Even if it turns out to be the wrong decision it will ironically have been the right one. Once you know you know and that might be enough reason to just do it
