Anyone here tried out IA's spbr? I always see it being highly praised but it doesn't look very 'difficult'? I suppose the cliche, 'as long as you add weight to the bar, eat and sleep well' fits here too..
Might move on to it since regular squatting is causin me so much hassle
Also, what are everyones favourite ab exercises ? I quite like front squat iso holds.
Squats, just squats. Sorry, in Rippetoe mode!
Hanging leg raises work for me; pretty hard (could only do 2-3 straight leg ones to begin with) and can add weight when they get easier. Pretty much all I do for abs!
Yes but at 13 years old you're unlikely to be as serious about it as when you're 18.
Good point though, we'd need a point of reference. Many people get great lighting, gym pump etc. and look amazing but you put them next to another person who doesn't even lift and you realise they're very small and it's all a very good illusion. Depends how tall he is too.

I did it and didn't make any gains on it. The frequency on the lifts wasn't high enough, nor the volume. It's pretty much a hard-gainer routine and people who aren't hard-gainers who do hard-gainer routines are underselling themselves.
on the downside, your food and portion sizes are pretty much controlled by your parents. i doubt they'd let you eat loads of eggs, meat and drink so much milk.

my cousin who weighs like 200lbs as a kid even tho his mum fed him normal portions he was fat as **** mainly due to going to breakfast club at school even tho he has already had breakfast at home and having seconds for school dinners, any money he got was spent on food.
