All of these overly simple workout programs have created alot of this.
Sure a program of squats, deads, bench presses, cleans and presses will work fantastic for most people, especially teenage guys.
However, these programs make a huge assumption.
#1- that everyone’s body works well enough, initially to perform these lifts
AND
#2- someone who either wasn’t performing the exercises properly, or couldnt perform them properly would know.
There are reasons strength coaches are employed. I would say the average teenage boy is not going to have the ability/knowhow to perform a deadlift or squat good enough to progress on even after reading all the in depth information in Starting Strength. It will probably take ALOT of trial and error. Id post some vids of your squat and deadlift so we can see if your even close to doing them correctly, which I highly doubt.

i didnt teach myself how to squat or deadlift, my brother taught me how to properly do the lifts[/quote]
Oh your brother taught you… ok then nevermind. Unless your brother is Charles Poliquin I’m going to go with you not knowing how to do the lifts properly first before I start looking at other problems.[/quote]
