My goal is to gain a lot of muscle mass for next season and develop strength and power. Here is some of my progress through a month. Please don't laugh, I know I'm not Mr. Olympia .. hehe. :) MAX WEIGHT ---------- Bench press: 200 lbs (up 15 lbs this month) Squat: 270 lbs (old max was around 240) Deadlift: 255 lbs (up from 190 lbs) Shoulder press: 140 lbs (up from 110) My stats are: Age: 16 Height: 6'4" Weight: 200 lbs BF: Around 18% give or take a little ... I'm currently supplementing with Whey protein and good food exclusively. ---------------------------- "Commitment can be painful. Indeed, it is in the possibility for pain that commitment finds its meaning and its power. Of what value would commitment be if it did not have its price?"

You sound determined to reach your goals and excited about your progress - both keys to a successful program. Keep up with your diet and consistantly train hard and you'll reach your goals in no time!! -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"
