Theres one thing I have learned from dealing with people on the subject of lifting etc, never take away from people until they try to take away from you. And when you do decide to take away from people just completley butcher them politley and get the hell out of there before they start talking about something completley off subject to try and beat you at that.
I agree 100%. I had a roommate who would always try to “beat me” at any and every conversation, but let those people stay oblivious as you say, because secretly you win.
Your lifts (as you and everyone know) are very impressive for your any person, not just for someone as young as you are. As you say in your second to last point (above), skinny dudes never want to get big, aka that used to be more before I became more informed over the past year (moreso the last 5 months). Now thanks to this site (and people like yourself) I realize how I should be lifting and what to eat during which phase, etc. Also it is f’ing hard to get truly too big (if there is such a thing now). In other words, it’s been easy for me to gain 10-15lbs, but I can see how hard it’s going to be to get the strength/body I truly want.
Last thing, I recently read one of those RMP threads (part of it anyway), of some dude who was massive/ripped at 5 7 175, and one kid who was like 120lbs said nice, I gave you a ten, what supplements do you use HAHA. Some people just have the wrong idea. Good luck to you MegaNewb, as you have a great lifting future ahead of you and you’re damn inspiring (aka your max deads and squats are each slighly under my total of 850, haha).[/quote]
Thanks man, I my self started off with about a 600lb total. The only advice I would give to you would be dont sell your self short on your lifts. Believe in your self, set your goals very high and always use more weight or more reps in your bench squat and deadlift. Enough time thinking and training like this and you will get where ever you want to go. Of course some where along the line your training may start to get a little more complicated to continue to make good gains. But the way of training and thinking will always be productive to strength no matter what program your doing.
The reason I think most people want to be lean and 170 or 180 etc it because they already told them self they dont want to put in the effort to get bigger. People are lazy…
