I like that you are not rushing things, at your age it's a golden time to build your foundation.

hey Frank! Those are some great stats....5'4" 225lbs. Pretty good bro.

Question...Do you prefer training alone or with a partner and why?

hey gary! thanks. good question. im picky with partners i always perfer training with some1 but its hard to find some1 in the same strength range and similar ways of muscle growth. as in some people grow with alot of reps like yourself, and some people grow with heavy lifting like me.

and i have to add....
people think i lift heavy because of my ego and that im a teenager, thats not true i just know how my body grows. i could care less if im strong or not im just going for size.
i'd rather be "weaker" so i do less damage on my joints

Crazy man. I live in North Brunswick and even worked at the Pizza Hut in Edison. Small world. Your stats are crazy. Makes me seem lazy as hell.

Probably my biggest problem is balancing the craziness of being in college and what not and my lifting/diet. How are you dealing with all that?

How do you deal with injuries? How do you vary your routine when you get injured?

damn lol why did you have to ask that question. i never been injured. (knock on wood) but god forbid i did, i would not train that body part untill i feel 100%. say you injure chest, you shouldnt train chest obviously but also you shouldnt train back or triceps. its tough but if i got injured i prob take off for a week or two. and while im taking off ill take amino acids and glutamin also protein, it all helps muscle repair.
im gunna start taking amino acids anyway.
