Just an FYI: PJS2010 has military pressed 315 pounds, squatted close to 600 pounds and deadlifted over 700 pounds and he’s under the age of 20. CC was talking about his strength BACK when he was the OP’s size, not his current strength levels.

That’s your call on his looks. But for the record, on his strength, he’s already across-the-board stronger than you when you were about his size.
“15yo 5’9 176lbs
bench: 198lbs Squat: 352lbs deadlift: 330lbs x5”
(And you later admitted that squat was “high as fuck”)
Maybe we could use a little more of the ‘Brotherhood of Iron’ mentality, no?
It’ll be interesting to see where this kid is in a year. If he stays on track with the strength stuff, and keeps bodybuilding on his mind too, it could be something.[/quote]
Time and time again those who put down others, frequently have accomplished very little themselves. This kid certainly looks wayyyy better than i did at 18[/quote]
Taking that first step and the plunge in competing is huge for development and really “catching the bug” so to speak. I competed for the first time in 2012 in men’s physique and got absolutely stomped. Looked like I didn’t even lift on stage. But I’ll tell you what, I was absolutely hooked and determined from the day after the contest to redeem myself. Not saying I have an impressive build, and still consider myself barely an intermediate, but I had a pretty successful string of contests in bb’ing this spring/summer, and that never would have happened if I hadn’t competed a few years back

IMO, that’s akin to saying “well at least they are in the gym”, about morbidly obese people who set the stationary bike at the lowest setting, sit back, and munch on a snickers while watching their ipad. of course, they are only fat because of genetics.

“at least they are working out”…lol[/quote]
That’s nothing like this. The person you’re describing is clearly giving the bare minimum. This kid looks to be working hard, just hasn’t put in the time it takes to build an impressive physique yet.

I don’t want to start a war at all, but I credit the kid for lifting his ass from the sofa and going to work. Yes, he isn’t big or shredded, but he cutted a lot of fat in little time, put the work in and had the courage to stand in front of a crowd barely naked, and being a teen, studying and with a part-time job it’s a much greater task.
Yes, the result isn’t awesome, but at least he started something, and with passion.
Again, don’t want to start a war, I just think that we have to give him credit for his dedication

Very cool that you came back, man. Definitely interested to see where you go with bodybuilding, powerlifting, or whatever you’re up to.
