Hey /fit/. I'm new here, but I wanted to share my story in the hopes that it could maybe help inspire others just starting out. In the past 2.5 months, I've put on almost 20lbs, and have never felt better.
I started out at a skeletal 5'10 125lbs.
Routine: Starting Strength, with additional accessory lifts.
Arm Day: Over Head Press 3x5 @ 90% max (after warm up sets)
Barbell Curl: 5x10
Laying dumbbell tricep extension: 5x10
Flys 6 x 10 (3 sets foreward, 3 sets out)
Standing Dumbbell tricep extension 5x10
Leg Day
Squat 3x5 @ 90% max (after warm up sets)
Leg Press 5x10
40 floors on the stairmaster at 120 steps/min or so.
Best Day
Deadlift 4x4 @ 75% max (working on volume. Deadlfting beats the snot out of me)
Pullup 3x5
Lat pulldown 3x10
Chest Day
Bench 3x5 @ 85% max.
Bent over row 5x10
Incline dumbell press 5x10
Tricep Curls 5x10
Dumbell Row 5x10
I'm about to switch to 5/3/1 to add more volume to my main lifts.
Diet: Not very strict. I try to get around 4000 calories of food a day, with at least 100g of protein. I don't really have a set meal plan, just bananas, shakes, protein bars, PB&J and lots of chicken.
If anyone has any questions or advice, I'd be more than happy to answer/listen.
Thanks for taking the time to click! And good luck to all my fellow gainers out there.
We're all gonna make it brehs!

What is going on with your abs? Did you try and tattoo them in with no ink and spike?

What do you mean?
Do you guys have a recommended AB routine? I read the sticky and couldn't find anything suitable for my level.
Pic related, my before shot
Holy fuck how has nobody seen a surgery scar before?
OPs is pretty bad but that grey line down the center is scar tissue and those dents are from God knows what. Looks like giant novelty sized staples what the fuck.

looks like a scar to me lads with the holes being where it was threaded maybe? look really closely for a vertical scar in the center of his abs
To anyone pantshitting about OPs abdomen this is what happens when you have to have emergency surgery.
