Me after about 20 lbs. of added muscle.

I weighed about 140 before, now I weigh around 160-165.









What do you guys think?

I kinda have to stop lifting for awhile because I play baseball and when I try to lift and play my elbows/shoulders start hurting. Hopefully I'll come back stronger in the summer though.

great work!

Nice work and kept some decent definition going on too. Keep it up!

There's no reason you should stop lifting when you're in season. Just change your schedule around.

 

[just_josh]

How should I change it up? Lower weight and higher reps to help joints?

Looking lean dude. I agree with Lei, but I'm not going to prescribe a regimen.

 

[LeiYunFat]

There are lots of pre-made programs for in season athletes, one that comes to mind is DeFranco's Westside for Skinny Bastards:



The rest/lift scheme is set up for athletes who practice on non-lifting days.

But basically, low weight and high reps are the opposite of the kind of lifting you should be doing, especially a few days before a game. Heavy weight and low reps are more ideal, I believe.

Look at "The Ultimate Off-Season Training Manual" by Eric Cressey.

Nice work, good weight to height ratio. Keep it up.
