a question

i'm not very big, but i weigh about 255 and my bodyfat's probably 20%. yeah thats kinda high for a lot of people, but its not a problem now. i've started lifting again the past couple weeks so my bodyfat went down and i gained most size back.

so my lean mass is probably a bit less than 200. well, ok, not a bit less, but a lot less. i'm 15 years old.

would it be possible to reach my genetic limitations before 17 or 18? or since i started training smart early (11 years old), i have built up enough to get me past the 'norm'?

i plan on bulking up heavy still, my goal is about 270-275 with little gain in current bodyfat. can i honestly expect much for results after a certain weight?

how tall are you?

 

[jeremys]

i'm 5'8-5'9

well, b fold's 6' 2"-3" and he weighs around 300, so I think it is reasonable, with a lot of hard work and food, and sleep
remember: train like an animal, eat like a horse, and sleep like a baby, one of B-Fold's famous quotes

I don't think you will reach your limits for a while. For one you might get taller and two you could lose some BF and get faster. Plus there is also a max lift barrier that takes years to get past. So in 2-3 years can you reach your potential maybe, but I think it might take about 5 years to be honest because you need to grow into your body, set your goal and train for these goals.... all of this takes time

Bro' your 15! You have at least 7 more years of NATURAL training to do before you even begin to hit your genetic potential. Your barely thru puberty for gods sake! Your body will continue to grow and mature until you hit 22-23 years old then you have a year or two at the least to conform to your body,(get used to). Whatever you have done thus far is only the begining. It sounds as though you have tremendous genetic potential though!! If you truly started training at 11 realize this, your testosterone levels were much lower then they are now, and, lower yet than they prolly will be 3 years from now at 18.

My advice,"Train like an animal, eat like a horse and sleep like a baby", B-fold has the best words right there!!
