Sometimes yuo gotta try a few different things to find what works best for you...and then stall on it, and try to find the next thing that works best for you.
BTW EM, I'm glad you changed your avater pic, this one looks way better than the air lat pic.

check my profile pic

moya + glad Im actually thinking of doing the other one, the 5x5 Iv done before and it bores me to death...

however I do wanna try it so I think its next in line after the one SouthernLord suggested.

Just gotta say I'm proud of you man. Your dedication is paying off, and will continue to pay off into the future. You are 15 and already looking great and lifting some pretty good weights. You keep training like you have been, and learning from the great folks here, and you are going to be far ahead of where many of us are by the time you're even old enough to consider the other kind of 'supplements'...and then if you ever do...wow!
Seriously, (even without considering your age...which makes it all the more impressive) your dedication to lifting and to learning...and keeping up with your training log are an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many others here.
Awesome job man, and keep up the good work!

And one last thing, if you carry over your dedication to constant improvement and to constant learning to other areas of your life (education, and then career, etc)...and I'm sure you will, then I think you are going to be one hell of a successful guy in whatever pursuit you choose.

big thanks man, really helps with comments like that.

The biggest challenge atm is cardio, I fuckin hate it. I wanna do it but then it comes to the time and I decide not to then regret it later lol...

not related to that though Im take this week off as an opportunity to drop deads down, I was maxing for weeks on end and when I pulled the 308 my form was off and shit, yeah it wasnt as hard as I thught but still, Ill be back up there again soon. Im going down to 275x5 and going up in 10lbs a week as long as I can.

Haha I hate cardio too...rarely do it, and since I'm allowing myself to get fat and strong over the winter, I'm not worried about it right now haha.

i hate cardio, only time I can do it is sometimes I can be bothered pre breakfast but most of the time I do it post workout so I can get it out of the way.

For a while now I was doing deads twice a week, conventional deadlifts on tuesday with back, romanian deadlifts on friday with legs. Worked well and I progressed well but just lately my strength has started to stall so Im going back to once a week.
