For a boy his size those numbers are awful. We have kids half his size at Russell doing that.

Did you stop to look at the amount of gains he has made.

Plus I don't see where those numbers are awful. I have seen many a young football player that only lifted to see numbers with no regards for proper form and safety. All those are are just numbers. As long as he keeps progressing then he will be fine.

I have witnessed trap bar deads which are much easier than conventional, I have seen them do quarter squats with huge number just to say they could and you wouldn't believe the amount of bouncing off the chest I have seen during benching. I have a teenage son that used to do all of those things and they do nothing for you but help you get hurt.

I would like to see Russell implement a weight program that was concerned with proper form and mass gains instead of just numbers.
