@allena7 Didn’t see any of his videos for a while so I’d check him out. Thank you!

@allena7 I heard that Jeremy Ethier doesn’t have good advice, but that was on a posture sub IDK what about weightlifting.

For context, I (16M) have been going to the gym for 2 years (since 14), I messed up a lot, took couple of ling breaks for travel, surgery and stuff (surgery was only two weeks). So on average, I’ve went to the gym for 10 months (including rest days) and excluding long breaks. That is in addition...

@lorip I do weigh myself every week or so, but take progress photos about every month. But your suggestion is more convenient so I’d try to do that.

@dinafrancis Doesn’t that limit muscle growth?

@mefe Yes I did actually incorporate new things such as partial reps and have also tried lifting high volume for strength (that was the 3 months I’ve increased my 1RM in). Even though I didn’t like that way of training, but as you’ve mentioned, I should try new things over time and I’m glad I...

@dawn16 I used “volume” in the wrong place, meant low-rep high-weight by that. 15-25 reps FEELS like cardio, didn’t mean that it’s not triggering hypertrophy, but want to focus more on 6-12 reps per set. Yeah, I was still doing 5 sets of 3+ reps. Will search about those programs you...

@dinafrancis I’m 5’9, father and brother are around 5’10-6”. And both of my uncles (from mother’s side) are 6”+ so I guess I have a bit more room to grow.

For context: I am a nearly 16-year-old male, 5’9", weighing around 168lbs. I've been hitting the gym for a year and nine months, but my progress suffered due to frequent program changes, poor nutrition, and possibly other factors. Currently, I'm in the 10th week of the GZCLP program, which I've...

I‘m 16M, been training for a but over two years (since march 2022) and I‘ve went from 120lbs 5‘7 at 14 to 176lbs couple months ago at 5‘9 to 165lbs now. used to train 3 times a week for about bit over a year and got to 4 till now (upper lower) with the whole two years playing basketball twice...

I’ve been weightlifting for 2 years (since 14) and have gained a good amount of muscle and maybe a bit more fat than needed went from 120lbs to 176lbs, so I limited my diet a but in ramadan and lost about 14lbs to about 162lbs now, but I did it with a dietitian so I wasn’t on a diet of my own...

@dinafrancis Thank you

@dinafrancis Should I be on a caloric surplus? If yes, how much do you suggest?

@dinafrancis My father’s side are average height, but my mother’s are really tall, even my cousin needed to take meds or stuff to reduce his growth. So I’d say I’ll probably be around 6’0 not much more or less

@2piusx Many people here are telling me to cut, but I’ve read (on reddit) that cutting at this age is not the best idea, but IDK how credible is the info here.

@dinafrancis Yeah, I was thinking of a 1-2 month cut, not much more. I’ve been to a physiotherapist couple of weeks ago and he pointed out that there is an indicator of more leg growth (getting taller) but we don’t know how much.

@juujuu I do like to look good, but strength is also a big factor, smaller guys at my school can win on me in arm wrestling.

@andrewn Isn’t cutting at this age bad?

@cfitz Thanks

@eyore 10 months each year, sorry, may have written that unclearly. And yes, I’ve done 12 weeks of GZCLP but switched to a normal hypertrophy-focus program I found.
