Great pics brother! You have a great foundation and nice size to work with. Youll get to that 200. Just be patient and train hard. More then bodyweight, focus more on measurements since they tell the true story. Bodyweight can fluctuate alot and mean many different things. Ive been 185 with 16 inch arms and 185 with 18 inches. Not to mention the increases in everything else, but weight remained unchanged. Stay consistent, train hard and eat everything!!!!

thanks again WB. my arms are just short of 14... how is it possible to two inches of lbm without changing in weight or losing somewhere else?

Lookin' good man. Like me, actually. Measurements are about the same. I'm 178 and 6' though. Chest is 42" here, and legs are 23". 16" calves. Biceps 12.75". Higher bodyfat, too. No abs here.

Tom Treutlein - Cool man, you think maybe we could have some kinda workout race? I find competition is always good for the soul.

mrjrock19 - arnold press right? i hear it's bad to be pressing weight over your head at a young age. even though everyone tells me otherwise, i'd like to stay a BIT on the safe side. (the lure of squatting got me. before squats, i did nothing that put pressure on my spine haha).

From Zero - thanks bro. how are you doing on those db presses anyway? start duct taping on those 5s yet? cause you BETTER BE!! haha

MattRecc - thanks OHP??

SublimeZM - common... i want to see TEH PICZ!

nothinbutapeanut - but the glory of visible abs man... i've been doing a lot of weighted chins, but i can't seem to fill in my middle upper back. mainly for upper back i've just been doing reverse flyes, rows, and chins. i'd like to start face pulls, but no equipment. i work out in a shit little gym in the back of my school with no squat rack, just a bench and a set of dbs.

broly, visible abs are great for the ego, but if you wanna gain some serious mass you gotta eat like it's your job, and the abs may go in hiding for a while. it's well worth it though after you've gained that mass and then cut back down to sheer rippedness. screw weighted chins, you gotta do weighted PULLUPS... they focus a lot more on the lats/upper back and won't tire out your bi's. a lot of the upper back interestingly enough consists of the trapezius muscle (traps), so you may want to hit shrugs really hard (DB work fine, i like to do some BB behind the back shrugs as well). btw, those shit little gyms can end up being your best friend... you get to train creatively with REAL free weights, not those pussy machines in newer gyms.

and also, i have no idea where you heard that pressing above the head is bad at your age, but it sounds completely ludicrous. if you want size, you can not neglect your shoulder girdle... make it strong, hit up DB military presses hard, now!

pullups = wide grip, palms away, bar to bottom of the throat?

i'll probably start with some light db presses.

pullups = wide grip, palms away, bar to bottom of the throat?

yup.. though try more of a shoulder-width grip rather than an all-out wide grip, get more bang for your buck.
