Yeah, I was kind of wondering about when I should start adding weight to the pullups. I'll probably wait till I can do 3 full sets of at least 8. How much weight would you recommend adding at first?

Imo wait until you can do 3 sets of 8 like you're thinking before adding weight.
Then I would start with 10lbs extra and do 5 sets of 3 and build that to 5x5, then add 10lbs etc.

Well hell yeah, sounds like plan. Thanks a lot.
I'm not sure now's the right time to add weight really. Maybe you should spend some time getting better at a variety of pull-ups first. For example, work sets of wide grip pull-ups, normal grip, behind the neck, then wide/normal grip chins. Once you can do sets of those consistently then add weight and repeat. Just my 0.02

I am definitely feeling stronger on the bench and squats. As mentioned before, I need to rest a little more between chin sets.
Today makes two weeks, so here are some pics. I don't really see any changes compared to the first batch of pics, but I wasn't really expecting anything either.
Can't have progress pics without the belly shot!

Yeah, I would have posted it in more detail if I had a daily meal plan, but I really don't. I will admit it needs a little work though.
I almost never go more than three hours without eating with the exception of my late lunch because of school. I go about 4 - 5 hours then.
11:00 Breakfast - Scoop of whey, oats, and milk in blender. Sometimes I add ANPB or fruit, depending on the flavor of protein.
3:30 - Something along the lines of steak with sweet potatoe/veggies, half dozen eggs with ezekiel raisen toast, or grilled chicken/various meats that my mom makes with veggies. BUT, sometimes I'll eat cheese pizza about twice a week as a meal.
From 3:30 on, I eat at least every three hours till about 1am. Sometimes the meals are a little smaller, like PB crackers with a couple of servings of cottage cheese and fruit. I have also been known to snack on some bland sugarless cereal with honey. But, I always add a protein source with every meal.
I drink milk with every meal.
I know this is pretty unorganized, but I really eat about the same things every day, just in different orders. The only thing set in stone is the breakfast, and post-workout I get a lot of carbs (potatoes and fruit) with my protein shake.
Any suggestions on what I could take with me to eat at school? Preferably something that doesn't stink up a classroom, haha.
