HELP.....please

[AnimeBoy]

I've been weightlifting properly for about 10 months and have these kinda stats:

Age - 17
Height - 6'
Weight - 144 pounds (i think)

Bench Press: 100pounds - 6 reps - 4 sets
Shoulder Press: 64pounds - 6 reps - 5 ets
Barbell Squats: 70pounds - 6 reps - 3 sets
Barbell bicep curls: 64pounds - 6 reps - 3 sets

(i do other exercises but these are the ones that are most important to me)

Well my questions are
1/ Is it normal for my shoulders to be that much weaker than my chest?

2/ Do any of you have any tips on how to build more strength and muscle?

[psyko1]

1) i think your chest is usually stronger, it's a bigger muscle group.
2) at 6' your weight is pretty low. so eat more and then you'll gradually get stronger. don't over train, and just because those are the exercises most important to you don't forget to do other lifts to help develop your muscles.

i had good luck with weight gainer when i starting out. just gets the extra colories need to grow. post you workout and diet and i am sure one of us can help you out. you are still growing so with your diet in check you should grow easily.

by the way it is nice to see younger people traing seriously. good luck with your training.

Diet: well it kinda varies everyday
well how about someone recomends something my goal for now is to bulk up a bit

[Stonecold54]

how much weight have you gained since you started working out? and when you start off by saying you lift "properly" tell me what that means.

just eat eat and eat bro. Ive been there before in high school. I was a stick at 5'11'' 135 when starting out. I would work out like crazy but never gained a pound due to diet. Once i got on the ball with the diet, the gains came.

and when he says eat, eat, and eat, that means eat healthy. if you eat sloppy calories and simple carbs youre just gonna bulk up your waistline. get a clean diet going and youll gain plenty of muscle, quick.

:agree: same here... i just ate as much protein as i could everyday and alot of good healthy stuff.... and because your not getting many gains dont resort to as. at your age that is the last thing you need..3 things always work

1) Eat alot and eat right
2) train hard
3) a good nights rest

by lifting "properly" I mean, I had weights a few months before but didnt really do anything right or used really light weights

and yeah i suppose i should be eating more protein and complex carbs

and thanx for the advice so far

[AnimeBoy]

S*** im so sorry my working out from kilograms to pounds is really bad my real weight is 72kg which actually works out to 158pounds
but this also means the weights i'm lifting up there are also wrong

Corrections:
Bench Press - 50kg - 110pounds
Barbell Rows - 45kg - 99pounds
Barbell Shoulder Press - 32kg - 70pounds
Bicep Curls - 32kg - 70pounds
Barbell Squats - 40kg - 88pounds
Barbell Deadlift - 47kg - 103pounds
Calf Raises - 15kg(each hand) - 33pounds each

Welcome to the board.
I'm just going to be honest with you. You need to do a LOT of research. Read posts in this forum also I would buy some books. It would take two pages to fill in the blanks. You need to get an understanding of the basics on diet, routines, recovery, injury prevention, etc. Read other posts. I have read prob. 300 posts/topics in 3 days. Good education.

What do you eat and when? As everyone has said eat more. http://www.superiormuscle.com/vbulle...threadid=22744 - Nutrition basics Post.
Routine. Its ok. Read up on what others are doing. Use heavier weights. I would consider changing your routine. Split things up a bit. Also your squat weight is very low "Barbell Squats 88lbs" Heavier weights. You have to carrry your own body weight all day 144lbs.
Getting good sleep at night will help you recover and get strong. Recovery process is as important as everything else. Research post workout meals/what to do/etc?
Good luck.
