I dont get it do you want to be a model or a bb? Not to beat a dead horse but you really should figure out what you want to do if you want to go far in BB especially. In reality every second counts since BB has become a mass race. Each year there are huge 18 year olds coming into the game that already have a jump start over you, by competing in so many competitions you are hurting your ability to build mass as said before. I just dont understand what you are trying to accomplish. Btw what competitions were you in because there are guys who look sick naturally at age 18.
What’s the name of the youtube channel because for some reason my browser doesn’t allow me to view the youtube videos on this site…

I have already established myself in the natural world of Teen bodybuilding. That’s not saying I am the best in it, just meaning I have done 5 shows, and have gotten myself out there… I won all the teen divisions but my first show at 15… The last show I did I placed a close 2nd in the MENS class w. over 12 competitors… I’m all for learning and growing more… I am hungry to get WAY better+bigger and am aware I have a LONG way to go. BUT to say I look like nothing as a teen competitor is just plain ignorant… My point is, I am a bodybuilder at heart, but I am now on track to building a CAREER… Signing w. a suppliment co. as well as working with a good agey for modelling is very lucrative, so that is definitly a priority above competing. BUT they can go hand in hand… I am not sure what gave you the idea that I am NOT bulking up… You CAN bulk cleanly… Staying in contest shape year-round will kill any chance of gains, but bulking clean will still allow you to swell just fine. My arms were 16" back in Oct. (NO bodyfat/water pre contests), and are just about 17" now, and I have managed to put on about 8 lbs af ADDITIONAL muscle, while still around 10% B.f.
Plus, the teen years aer WHEN you want to compete… It kills me to see so many kids waiting and waiting… They are missing out on alot! Once I hit 20, I will take some good time off to really grow… THAT is when the time will count! 21-24 is when your body REALLY kicks in, and only gets more-so from there.

You can just look up Nick Wright as well. The last couple of vids are pretty much just photo shoot stuff… But a little further back I have a lot of pre-contest info, peaking, cooking, nutrition… The Eating Big playlist is 3 vids setting people off on a beginners bodybuilding diet for those who can’t just jump right into the full-on thing due to money, or parents etc. etc.
Ever seen Anthony Monetti? He was BEASTLY at around HS age.
I will say, I watched a few of your videos, and you seem charismatic and to be knowledgeable and really love this, so good on you. Just don’t become an egotistical asshole. 
Your contest tan application vid was quite informative.
Time to get huge though, bud.
You are 5’7" and you complain about long limbs and bad genetics? Even if your arms “hang down to your knees” you still do not have some super crazy mechanical disadvantage. Overcoming those genetics is not at all as heroic as you make it seem. There are plenty of 6 foot guys with big arms

Hell, Kingbeef on this site is blowing up pretty well and I doubt anyone here has longer arms than him.

That dude is crazy… He was one of the few bodybuilders that REALLY struck me in awe when seeing him in those Flex Magazine adds… Crazy guy. I was shooting in a powerlifting gym last weekend down in CT, and saw a guy in his mid-late 20’s put that up for one, weighing about 168lbs raw… That was NUTS! It wouldnt have counted legally since his hips came SLIGHTLY off the bench, but it was a legit press in terms of just bench pressing… Zack makes it look like 200lbs though, I love that guys size, especially in his arms. Freaky…
168 lb dude raw inclining 495. That’s like a world record bro, you sure you saw that shit?

That might be a lot of weight, but damn, what an ugly motherfucker.

He may have benn 178, I could be getting the numbers switched up, but yes, guarenteed. Like I said though, it wouldn’t have counted in a meet. As far as lifting goes though, it was crazy… Then some other dude who weighed a little more tried doing like 450, but failed horribly.
