Sup /fit/, i have been lurking for a long time but i don't post regularly. I am 18 years old and figured i should pick up lifting again. Last time i lifted i was 16 and i followed the subreddits guidelines and it didn't get me very far. 5x5 took my bench from 22.5 kg to 40 kgs, that's all. The only thing i got from those 4 months worthy of bragging of is maybe that i was legpressing 4x my bodyweight.
For the record i am a mix between mesomorph and ectomorph, leaning towards ectomorph. I find it impossible to gain any weight at all, i have tried, i just cant. Now that i am 18, i have got a lot more testosterone and a rather impressive beard for someone my age. I went to a gym and did a regular 5x5 routine and added some curls and brosplit arm, core workouts after. I saw how much arms were bulging more than they ever had so i think this time around my gains will improve a lot more. I read somewhere that people who are ectomorph/mesomorph mixes should just give up on bulking and just go for the regular brosplit and gain volume instead of a lot of strength. Do yall agree? Btw my i have Persian genes and everyone in my family seems to have it rather easy to gain weight/muscle. My cousin is swole as a motherfucker and he does the regular brosplit. So ill appreciate any help

what do you want help with?

Do i go brosplit? Do i do 5x5? Did you read my post? I have heard brosplit is better for an ectomorph guy like me

Keep training legs that's for sure
Maybe start bench press, squats, deadlifts before moving on to isolations, but make sure you do squeeze workouts for chest (e.g. flys) or your chest will be deformed.
Also cardio, it doesn't kill gains that's- just a meme, and it will help your overall health

whilst ecto can be a way to reflect natural muscle gain, programs wont effect this.

Always cut before you bulk, don't cut too much as you're just starting out and cutting is hard/painful
>>
>>39126072
So until what weight should i try cutting, is cutting a smart idea at such a low weight though? This knowledge, i need it.
>>
>>39126121
Well you are quite a low weight so maybe cut for a week or so, then start bulking again, you are quite a low weight for your height so you can't have much fat to lose
>>
>>39126198
All of the excess fat i have is on my belly, i have a about a handful on my belly. The rest is spread out but there is quite a lot on my belly. Alright ill cut, is cutting down to 110 pounds alright?
Btw cutting is really easy for me since i have crazy metabolism and a very shitty appetite

>>39126198
only cut if youre a fatty or want abs asap
>>
>>39126198
Do you recommend gainer/brotein? Or should i just eat a lot, (which i find impossible)
>>
>>39126268
I don't care for abs, but does getting rid of the skinnyfat in the beginning help in the long run?
>>
>>39126291
NO
>>39126273
ugh i know its hard but youre not trying
>>
>>39126325
thanks based anon, this thread just left me more conflicted. One dude tells me to cut, other tells me to bulk.
>>
>>39126393
cutting is only for looking good it wont help you in te long run
>>
EAT AND WORK OUT YOU GODDAMN FUCKING RETARD
If there is a definition of nu-male then it MUST be OP.
