Hi All,
A bit about me … I am Relatively new to BBing ;I started throwing some dumbbells around about a year ago when I realised I was getting over weight and needed to do something about it.
Last November I joined Muscle talk and have been learning since. I joined a gym 2 weeks ago and (hopefully) I will start training seriously now, so this journal is really for me follow my progress.
My Stats:
Age – 16
Height – 5 11
Weight- Roughly 165 pounds (I am going to weigh myself tomorrow)
BF – Around 11% (not really sure how to use callipers)
My Goals
Short term – to loose some of the left over fat for the summer.
Long Term – possibly compete in an amateur comp (maybe unrealistic but its something to work for)
I will be keeping it up to date with my training a diet details.

You're right, but I think you referred to the cest press as a bench press anyway in your workout description 
Today
Chest and Triceps
Chest Press 3 x 10 45kg
Next Chest workout will try bench pressing.
I did wonder about that myself. You have a good weight to be playing with at your age with a fairly low BF%, hope you do well.

Cheers for the reply mate ive been reading that bench presses are one the 'key' basic exercices, ive only done them a couple of times at home before on a settee lol, i didnt have a bench. So for the last couple of months of training at home i only really did dumbbell pullovers and what i thought was the next best thing one arm at a time dumbbell presses for chest.

So good sessions there mate IMO...
Diet isn't the worst I've seen either...
But there is room for improvement IMO...
If you would like some help with it use this link:

and post your diet in the diet forum..
Good luck mate

Need to sort chest and tricep workout not happy with todays, not worked triceps enough couldn't even feel them while i was doing pushdowns (i think i need to read up on technique) Bench press needs to be first exercise not last.
Tomorrow im going to just do an arms day because my back is sore from legs yesterday  and i didnt work my triceps enough tonight.
Still pleased to start bench pressing.

Hi mate, good luck with your training - you're on the right track with setting a short term and a long term goal, and as one of the guys said, you have a good base to start from.
Is there any reason that you're doing the smith machine squat rather than free standing - from personal experience using the Smith machine locks me into a weird, too rigid movement and doesn't seem to hit my muscles in the same way? On the same note, its normal for your lower back to feel a little tight when starting to squat but if its really bad, maybe your form wasn't quite right?
Also, just a suggestion about your chest routine - I'd pick either the chest press or the smith bench - you are essentially doing the same movement twice - I'd suggest picking the one that feels best, throwing everything into that and then picking another chest exercise to hit it in a different way - ie; dips (leaning forward slightly to hit chest a bit more) or dbell flyes?
Looks pretty solid though and your attitude is good so keep it up!
Cheers
Mark
