I decided to start a training log to keep track of what I'm doing to make sure I progress and get some advice

Age:15
Weight:200
Arms:right 16 and left 15 1/4
Legs:25-26
Heigh: 6ft

I'm gonna try and keep this going all the way through the school year because I have goals for my birthday

260:bench
455-500:deadlift

I took some picture's but havent got them on my computer because I can't find the wire for my digital camera

I have never done deadlifts or squats so I'm hopeing for some noob gains

Damn bro you're pretty big already. If you've never done deads or squats you'll surely get some newb gains.

What are you training for? Powerlifting? Football? Bodybuilding?

well I'm just trying to get stronger right now so more twards powerlifting but I also like the idea of gaining mass but would rather have strength

Today I did legs but I decided to do squats at home i did them off my bench so its about 1 inch above paralel "half squats"

300 x 2 warm up could had got 10
345 x 3 could had got another
300 x 3 drained from the first set
285 x 3
285 x 3

Man, you's already a big, strong mofo for your age if those are your stats! When I was 15 I was struggling to bench 140lbs. A lot of full grown men can't even lift the amounts of weight you're doing at 15 years of age. Who's your father, Hercules or something?

thanks man my deadlift is the only thing worth talking about tho its what I think will get alot stronger in the next few weeks

today I maxed out on squats my thigh paralel to the floor wich is like 3 3-5 inches below paralel

Dude, you're huge for your age. Your lifts will likely come along nicely.

also wanted to commend you on the little post you made about what you ate -- your diet looks pretty good, and is better than 99% of the guys your age :) Keep up the hard work !

While getting 300 grams of protein and eating better carbs and more sleep 7 weeks until I go on vacation so I was thinking a four week super bulk

Jesus, you're already bigger and stronger than me (I'm 19 years old, going on 20) ! You are already shooting for a 400+ pull ? Damn, son. Don't worry, though, I'll catch up with you yet ;).

I think I can pull at least 225, maybe as much as 275 but unfortunatley I don't have regular access to proper weights. Oh well, as of November, I will. I am a conventional over-under deadlifter; from what I read, I assume you are a sumo deadlifter ? Or do you switch it up ?

Keep lifting big, man. If you work your ass off, I can see you going places in powerlifting

Unless you have huge legs, thighs parallel to the ground is not 3-5 inches below parallel. In fact thighs parallel to the ground should be just about at parallel.

EDIT: point of clarification - when someone says they squatted to parallel, what they mean is if you drew a line from the top of the hip crease to the top of the knee, that line would be parallel to the ground.
