lost body fat doing that shit at a caloric defecit because cardio is for bitches so im just now getting gainz. i do it for gainz and so im not 6'5 and lanky
if deadlifts fukt up your back you might have had bad form which isn't uncommon. since your so tall make sure you don't fuck up your knees in general, I hear that's easy for you guys to do. you should do cardio tho, before you make the mistake I did a year ago and get strong fat, it doesn't even look good. at least once a week
lol, lifting doesn't suppress your height or growth dude. some dumb skinnyfags made that shit up so everyone would be skellies like them.

you should if you want a routine let me know what you're aiming for and I can hook you up. gave one to smilies recently

My 5x5 squat has gotten up to 240 though so I have T-rex arms I guess
I like doing deadlifts the most, I feel like a badass every time I finish a set.
(I weigh 155 btw)
(also these are in pounds because I'm a true patriot)
how long have you been lifting?

not to train for strength solely

i also of course do some accessory lifts and dips/pullups
lifting 5 months, coming from skinnyfat extraordinaire to one step above skinnyfat extraordinaire
don't really feel like posting my whole routine right now, but i will say that i recently took my squat down to once a week instead of twice and i am not sorry about it at all
dope, those lifts look like about where I was when I started ~3 years ago, except my bench was a little higher cause I have sick chest genes. what are you lifting for? recreation, strength or bitches? also age + weight pls

do you work out or participate in any physical activities other than sports and I'm not talking about any damn e-sports. Yes, League of Legends swimming (3-4 times a week ~30 mins semi-intense to intense workout) and I used to play hockey up until this year since I haven't found a team which fits my schedule near my new location.
why aren't you lifting? Simply because lifting isn't that appealing to me. I don't care that much about becoming muscular and I don't find lifting weights that much. I prefer other sports, mostly endurance sports. Sports for me are a way to clear my mind, relieve stress from studies and help me burn my energy/calories (which may not be such a good idea when I look at how underweight I am). If I don't do sports, I feel bad. After a session of sports, I feel good about myself and I feel relaxed.
do you want to get started? No
do you have any questions on how to get started? No, I think its pretty simple unless you really want to gain mass quickly.
I get where you're coming from, 'cause I was the same way. only really played basketball and I was pretty content with that. though lifting's uses are limited to strength, looking like a sick cunt and perhaps heart health it's actually really rewarding. you might be keen to try calisthenics since that was the first type of exercise I got into when I decided I didn't want to be skinnier than people in grades lower than me.
in general, I'd say don't knock it 'till you try it.

Guess you could say I really got into it when I went on my schools weight lifting team 2years ago (and I got to compete )
My maxs are around 3-4 months out dated but here they are
265 bench
375 squat
430 deadlift
I got a stocky 5'9" 170lb build so lifting always came naturally to me.
Recently I Fucked my leg up so my legs probably went down a little (sadness intensifies)
Probably my favorite hobby next to vidya games
these lifts are sick, shorter people I know always generally have better lifts than taller people. I wonder if it's mesomorph vs ectomorph shit (it seems shorties are generally mesomorphs). sucks that you got an injury tho, is it a permanent thing?
