Well done, man! Wish I had that kind of motivation lol.
Well, yeah, his squat seems a bit fishy since he basically started from 0. Maybe if he did it with a belt and didnt go that deep.
Mine is mostly explained with the explosive lower-body- and core-strength I gained from hockey... It's pretty much all we ever trained when I still played, squats and power-cleans (obviously other stuff too but those were the 2 big ones).
But my point still stands that you can make pretty hefty gains when you're still in your "teens" as in around 15-19 or so... especially since your body is still filling up as you're becoming more of a man (even if you dont go to the gym that much).
Hard to tell with the pics but it definitely looks like he grew in height as well as muscle mass so could explain the dramatic increase in weight. Regardless he decided to improve his overall health and focused on his body even if something was exaggerated. Congrats on the results and the best part is learning something like this will effect the rest of his life.
Congrats! Keep it up, it's all gravy from here
Hey, thanks for your reply I guarantee you that my squats are below parallel, I'm compeating later this year (Novermber) in the International Powerlifting Federation so my squat, bench and deadlift have to be to their standard meaning squats below parallel, bench has to touch and pause on my chest and deadlifts have to be clean so no hitching. Once i have done the competition i'll come back here and post the results for you

I definetly grew in height that year, although i'm not a very tall person (5ft 11") i think i must have grown 2 or or so inches

Here is a pic of my cosplay for Gray Fullbuster from Fairy Tail in last months Comic Con.
I'm the one on the far left behind the girl with blue hair
Tried to find my 195kg attempt but didn't have it saved to my phone, instead I got my 190kg deadlift

ya def needs some work. your hips shoot up first and then turn it into all lower back (lacking leg drive), you arent engaging your lats enough (looks like bar drifts out), you look like you have a lot of knee valgus (might be the angle). I also dont understand why your using straps and a mixed grip.
Ok, let me be clear, this is not a demonstration video, if it was i would chose a light weight and show you controlled reps. This is however a raw video showing an 8th set (yes 8th set, meaning there were 7 sets of controlled reps at increasing weight loads) attaching this set was purely to test my 1 rep max, i find this way of training has helped improve my strength and over the year i found that it has worked for me eventually the weight will become 'comfortable' at which point an upgrade will be made to further my progress.
As long as the reps are safe and you've hit the majority of sets with form good enough to have the desired impact, then you should be on to both size and strength gains.
Form is important but it's not as simple as prefect every time, not if you really want to grow.
In powerlifting that lift would be white lighted aswell meaning it would be counted as a lift.

So my friend and i were walking around some shops and found that Hollister didn't have their fitness models out, so we decided to do some 'volunteer' work
Be careful, train smart and don't let an injury sneak up on ya.
Yes and now here comes once again a doctor/bodybuilder...
Normally my fellow noob you bulk up and then you lean down. Also that guy transitioned from very low kilos 40 to 70 . At 50kg you literally have 0 muscle and fat.
Anyways 20 posts from op... And that kid looks way younger in the first one that's def not one year after...
Good job!
I myself have "only" managed to deadlift 130 kg (could possibly have added 10 kg but didn't want to risk an injury). I went from 58 kg to 72 kg in a little bit more than three years. Tried bulking but my stomasch kinda "broke" from drinking two litres of milk each day and I ended up not fully getting back into training for like a year.
Be careful, better not risk your phenomenal progress with something silly as to impress someone with a lift you can't make or some fucked up diet like I did!
PS
There is no way those pics in the OT are 1 year apart just look at the faces, liar!
