Dude U DONT HAVE BIG TRAPS get over it man i dont know why u dont understand that. I actually think ur traps are imbalanced because they are small and being eclipsed by ur hyooooge chest

what i recommend…

Do a trap specialization. Monday and Thursday all trap work. Shrugs, overhead shrugs, jump shrugs etc

Then use tues and friday as ab days
the ladies will be fawning over how hot u look in ur oddly fitted polo that is pulled up to ur chest

this should cure ur dinky traps syndrome… dont know what to do about ur lack of testicles though

i do think that u and the pussy who initially insulted u should both have a trap off though… both submit pics with ur traps flexed and ur shoulders rolled as far forward as possible

also could u post a pic of u wearing a polo. im actually being serious… i want to see what looks weird about it

Hotcarl ive been reading T-Nation for a hella long time, and ever since you joined your posts have always brought sunshine into my day lol.

I think everyone is being kinda silly about this whole thing though. Everyone seems to be taking this really personal…

to the kid who posted this…there is nothing remotely big about you. Your progress has been mediocre at best, largely due to your meager diet. It seems as though you have really screwed yourself as far as your reputation is concerned, you really shouldn’t have posted here.

posting your picture here is a way of asking for advice and/or critiscm, and when some guy tells you to get real and be honest with yourself regarding how weak you are, you get all emotional on everyone.

dude, get real. You are just like all those little bastards who run around in my gym doing a set of bench press on the smith machine before buying a caffeine drink and hitting the sauna, and then taking pictures of themselves for myspace in their girl pants.

close your mouth and open your mind kid, alot of these guys know tons of useful information that you will need if you ever hope to get somewhere…

your traps arent big, you are only assuming the “tough guy” stance in your April #2 picture, which i see alot of people your age doing, i used to do it too when i was around 12…but i grew out of it… if you want big traps do alot of snatch grip deadlifts, snatch grip rack pulls and power shrugs (among other things). and eat

and if someone genuinely flames you, flaming back only shows how childish you are…[/quote]

I’ll take the advice and shut up, the posture point really makes sense.I’ve been worried about this. my traps aren’t big, I just think is looks awkward. So story is…more food, what kind and when?

I could add a cup of plain oats to brfeakfast the biggest thing in my way is school. How did the rest of you manage to get all your food in during school?

Pack lots of food and eat in between classes

that wasn’t a tough guy stance rotfl. that’s my standing up taking a picture of myself while trying to keep the flash from ruining the picture.I didn’t flex in the mirror pictues, haha I’m nowhere near coordinated enough t o be able to look through the viewscreen of the camera and be tensed and make sure the flash didn’t ruin the picture at once.

I don’t use a smith machine and rotfl I don’t wear girl pants. I wear plain old bootcut or vintage slim legged bootcut. Clothes to baggy piss me off. I almost had botten in a fight the other day because I had said something about this kids eyeliner and girl pants.

I wasn’t getting emotional, some guy attacked me becuase he needed an ego check on his 150% bodyweight bench press. and I got pissed.

I know I’m weak as hell there are like 3 guys in my weightroom who just by showing up remind me of that multiple times a week.

should I make like sandwiches to eat between classes?

By the way if anyone has anything to say about the apnea thing…it would be greatly appreciated.

i make between 3 and 4 sandwiches for my lunch, but i usually eat them during class. They are usually tuna.

anyhoo you are not eating enough food period, i always eat a ton of food about 20 minutes before hitting the weightroom.

i eat about 8 or 9 times a day consisting of stuff like eggs tuna chicken beef pasta yogurt milk protein etc…

and some fruit to help balance things out…

just eat more kiddo and dont worry about cutting yet cause it looks like you barely have any fat.

there is no replacement for food. 30 grams of protein every hour and a half or so.

and 1.5x body weight bench is something to be admired somewhat, 9 years to achieve such a thing however is quite a drawback.

Hello zephead4747

I’m sure that everyone on this site has trouble managing their meals at some point in time. I prepare my meals on the evening before and take it to work in a plastic tub and just eat throughout the day. This will equate to maybe 4/5 meals (all the same though!), at least I’m not resorting to eating “cheat” foods because I didn’t prepare.

Good luck with your training and eating

Should I bring yogurt to school? honestly more shakes would make it a lot easier but I don’t know if I should. Once I get a paycheck I’ll bring like chicken and stuff… but my recourses are lacking right now.

92

alrighty I’m going to set myself a new goal. Bulk up to 175-180 over this school year. I need some help and ideas with the diet part… I know diet is my biggest setback right now.

6:45:
3 eggs, cup of oats, multi vitamin 350 calories I think?

8:30
scoop of protein 90 calories

11:00 jerky+apple I have no idea probably like 200

12:30 scoop of protein+ carrots 150 calories

2:00 scoop of protein//beta alanine 90 calorites

3:00 workout

4:00 scoop of protein//creatine//beta alanine 90 calories

5:30 parents make dinner ~400 calories

8:00 tuna 130 calories

9:30 milk and yogurt~ 350

total:
I need more veggies but what kind and when? basically what is brown bagable, I need more calories in general, what kinds of foods should I add in there? this is like 1850 calories, I should be getting like 3.5k+ right?

93

yeah you are still barely eating anything, you need to “calorie up” for your workout, meaning eat everything that isnt nailed down, except for junkfood…

aside from that eat tons of yogurt and drink tons of milk…

94

Bring a jar of peanut butter to school and eat it through out the day.

Why does it matter? Youll most likely never meet him in real life. Get off of the computer and go eat.

I puke if I eat before squatting, I tried eating before workouts last summer. peanut butter makes me gag, I was eating like 1/2 a tub a day when I bulked the initial 30 pounds last year. I’ll add chicken+broccoli into my diet somewhere. Is brown rice eatable cold?

Probably a little early to be posting pics to be rated. Try myspace, you’ll probably be considered “totally Jacked” on there. T-Nation however, you probably won’t get a rating above 2 or 3. 3 being a little generous, but you have made gains, so congrats on that. Keep it up![/quote]

so true, to get a good rating on this website you have to go from 80lbs 30%BF to 250 @ 5%… holding a shoe

anything under a 450 squat is pussy too

FFS, this thread is still up? OP: People are flaming you, but you have to understand, recently, it was at the height of fashion to do so. Your attitude seems fine (perhaps save for your hallucinations about your traps) and you seem cool about taking advice…so…Never be hungry. That’s a good indicator about how to eat. If you can sense that you’re about to be hungry then eat something. A good rule of thumb is 30-50ish grams of protein/feeding, every 2 or 3 hours. What you said about the 3.5k calories/day sounds good, now do it. At 1850 calories…well…that’s just not fair to yourself. Milk and eggs. Do it. Refined pasta. Do it. They make life easy. Life is easy. Now do it.

Holy shit…LMFAO!!! I hope this thread keeps going, it’s good humor.

Dude, you are a young punk, but I’m going to give you some advice. Correct your posture. You don’t want to be adding muscle to a frame that’s not set up properly. Plenty of articles on this site, find them.

Good luck, and if you want to go anywhere in life you need to change your attitude. Otherwise, you’re not going to find anyone that gives two shits about you.

Sorry but the truth hurts sometimes.
