Still in permabulk mode, but I think I stunted my development somehow by subsisting off a sub-1500 kcal diet + track & field involvement throughout high school.

I'm up to 185lbs now, so I'm still making progress bit by bit.
As the image says, I'm not actually the far left pic, but its the closest I could find. I looked even shittier than that because I've got a mild case of pectus excavatum+rib flare

Currently dirty bulking cause I'm 20 pounds underweight.

I've been finally eating more than twice a day and always take my protein shake after I workout though so it's progress.

I currently have a weak af bench. Would it be better to do 5-7 reps of 90% my 1 rep max or ~80% till I can't do anymore?

>>41004588
I've just embraced forcing down high calorie food without enjoying it. I'm 128 lbs and my TDEE is arond 2000 but i eat 3000 calories or more each day now

>>41004588
Drink more water, liked 4 bottles or more a day, to help expand stomach mass so you can eat more. I currently get full and feel like vomiting whenever I eat till I'm stuffed

Skeleton with acne here, will increasing my calorie count increase my acne even if I'm not dirty bulking?

>>41004609
Not sure about the bench, maybe 5-7 reps?
Shake and mealx2 sounds like good progress dude.
The most important part for me was learning to eat breakfast. I used to wake up and go like 4-5 hours before i ate

>>41004588
If you have to, then supplement your diet with mass gainers (ie. pic related). I've tried eating to the point of vomiting, but I always did better with liquid diets, including GOMAD. It took me a couple years before my diet was normal, and then another year to eat ~3000kcal per day comfortably.

Just remember that if you're not eating at a surplus, then you won't gain a pound despite how hard you go in the gym.

>>41004636
Nope, a clean bulk shouldnt increase acne. Acne mostly comes from the unhealthy fats and sugars. If you manage to maintan a clean bulk you'll have minimum outbreak. You might even clear up some skin if youre good at drinking water/gettin proper sleep

>>41004675
Are weight gainers considered dirty bulking?
I don't want acne reeee

>>41004609
3 sets of 5-8 reps are good for strength gain for most exercises and what I've seen the most progress from. Obviously increasing to 5 sets, or between 4-10 reps won't kill you.

Focus on what lets you increase the weight on the barbell every week (or two, at first, when +5lbs was a big increment)

>>41004690
I'm 24 and still get a bit of acne, potentially from the mass gainers. But it's a small price to pay when the alternative is to completely change my dietary habits, spend a lot of time cooking, and struggle forcing down food. Up to you.

Protip: Drink lots of water a few hours before meals, this will give you an appetite and the ability to consume a larger volume of food.

I am skinny guy and just bulged a disc.. It sucks

>>41004914

I'm the water tip guy. It's hilarious people advise fatties to drink a lot of water because it will "fill them up". Should be standard bulking advice.

Gonna be fat when summer comes tho feelsbadman.jpg

former skelly here
manlet 5'9 that weighed around 130 lbs

it sounds cliche but its true
eat, and then eat more

clean eating is fine, but can be hard to sustain on a consistent basis for some of us
pizza? eat it
burgers? eat it
just eat

making a protein shake? throw in peanut butter
your appetite will slowly grow to fit your caloric needs

>>41004984
Haha yeah. I mean, they should drink water, but not to fill up

>>41005188
This is exactly what i'm doing right now. I'm 5'9, 128lbs and i'm eating atleast 3k cals a day. Usually a lot of cashew/peanuts, milk, chicken and pasta

nuts are great way to get calories and get them healthy fats
keep up the progress, i wish you the best of luck

am 5 ft 11 and was like 130 when i started in September and am now 170

tried the clean bulk at the start but couldn't maintain it cos getting food down was hard enough, let alone shit that tasted disgusting

mass gainers helped me out, but too expensive mainly just ate loads of shit and did HLM routine

my deadlift im most proud of got it from 110 to 265

i think the lack of activity in this thread, in comparison to the fatty generals really goes to show what type of people visit /fit/
anyone have that link to the recent census?
i remember most people being new lifters with less than 6 months under the belt
but i forgot what the stats were for weight

>>41003323
skellington here, I am only recently seriously thinking about getting /fit/. Most of the info I see is pointed towards big guys who want to shed fat and build muscle. Are there any good resources/infodumps for skeletonmodes I can refer to?

Skele here. Been in the gym for close to 2 months but honestly i don't see too much of a progress. Only gained 2 kg.. i must be doing something terribly wrong.

I have been hitting 2.7k calories daily as it said my TDEE is 2.4, should i just eat more from now on?

>>41006746
no 300 over is plenty if you want to gain lean muscle. If you just want to gain mass then up it to 3k

Guys, been working out and shit. Started just under 150lbs got up to 175lbs. Last 4 days I have felt ill and lost about about 14lbs... in 4 days?! Am I dying or some shit? I have barely been able to eat and haven't had the energy to work out. But 14lbs in 4 days seems a bit much, especially as it took months to gain.

>>41006772
yes go to the doctor if it actually 14 lbs

>>41006777
Yeah, that's what I thought. I have an appointment on Monday, but I guess didn't hurt to ask in case someone else had been through the same.

hi, 6'6 currently around 200 pounds, was down to 155 pounds due to an illness in that pic

Went from a constant 123lbs to bouncing between 135-140. Started working out at the end of January. Hoping to be 160lbs-ish by the end of the year.

>>41006746
Eat 500 because you're probably under estimating already which is good but when you're eating 300 you're probably only getting 100-200 over you feel me? If you want to optimize your bulks you should be eating 500 even as an advanced trainee.

Bump for us the Skelly bros

we are gonna make it right?

It's crazy how much slower these threads are compared to /fat/. I guess they have more topics to discuss too like what their cheat meals are and an assortment of fat feels.

Can I improve my bench by dumbbell chest press instead? I can only bench 88lb and i think i can increase it next workout, but I'm also afraid of getting stuck and have no one to help me because i go to the gym alone..

Also for some reason i feel like dumbbell chest press works my chest more than bench press.

>>41007339
I know ppl with awesome chests who on dumbbell press

>>41007077
3-4 pounds is ideal idk how many kilos that is trust me dude it's a marathon in 6 months it will be a huge difference

>>41007398

3-4 pounds per month? That's about 1.8 kg per month.. which means I'm gaining way too slowly at 1 kg per month.

One more question fellow skeles, do you drink milk to gain calories? I don't like eating but i can chug down liquid fast, is it okay to drink like 1 litre of soy milk everyday? It's cheap and easy.

>>41007422
i would just bulk at around 2-3 lbs per month
you can only put on so much muscle naturally
around 25 pounds in your first year, which comes up around 2 lbs a month

like the other person said
its a marathon, not a sprint

trust me, in the long run, you will be glad to have bulked at a moderate pace

>>41004690
i use that exact brand and haven't gotten more acne from it

that extra 1k+ calories you get from it are invaluable if you have a small stomach

>>41004543
Ugh you remind of me. I'm 6'2 tho.

Going from skelly to fit is way better than fat to fit.
You get to actually eat. In fact, you can pretty much eat whatever you want, and as long as you lift 3 or 4 times a week and do cardio here and there you won't get fat, only big,

Honestly, you can expect a different range of results depening on how commited you are.
If you eat a shit ton of healthy food (Maybe even count macros) and work out 7 times a week you'll be a lot different when august comes. So how much do you want it?

Well the rest day is supposed to be cardio :^ ) Not lifting

6'2" and about 170lbs on the dot, maybe a bit less. Started at 140 so I'm pretty okay with my progress.

Current routine is a modified version of SL.

A:
Squats 3x5
Bench 5x5
DB Bench 3x8
Cable Rows 3x8
Facepulls 3x10
Weighted incline crunches 3x10
Preacher curls 3x10

B:
Leg Curls 3x10
Deadlifts 3x5
DB OHP 3x8
Pullups 3x10 (or to failure)
Weighted incline crunches 3x10
Preacher curls 3x10

I have a shoulder imbalance otherwise I would be doing BB OHP as well. Feels okay. My biggest problem is sleeping enough.

Been lifting for a year and a half with a couple of periods where I stopped and didn't eat much due to cancer and divorce.
I never thought much about bulking because the amount of weight I was lifting every week continued to increase.

I'm going to go clean as I don't ever crave or eat much junk foods anyways.

All progress is good progress. I'd try and bulk up if I were you, but keep up. You look better in your second picture. Working out takes time; give it at least a year until you notice serious results.

>>41017616
You'd be surprised how adding just an extra 300kcals per day would help your gains. That can be something as simple as a casein shake at night.

>>41018340

He could have saved us skele but he chooses not to ..

>>41018474
Not that guy, but what should I do if I can't eat dairy?
So that means casein or cottage cheese before bed. It's harder to bulk without being able to consume dairy.

>>41018531
Egg protein is pretty good, but harder to find. I got the vanilla version of pic related and it tasted whey better than casein.

And there are some mass gainers which don't use dairy... I think. I remember seeing once which was beef-based.

>>41005179
you're so cute I wanna cuddle you

>>41018531
Nuts my man. Nuts,
Since i started bulking i've been eating nuts every day. Salted peanuts, salted cashewnuts, unsalted peanuts, unsalted cashew, pistachios, walnuts. A small pack of nuts (150g) will give you around 1k calories

>>41004419

I'm in the same boat about the hunger thing. Today i ate a whole 600g pizza (I could never finish one before) and it didnt take long before i was hungry again lol. And gratz on the chest pop/sleeve fill

>>41018964
thanks. I'm actually worried I'm gonna get fat now lol so I started doing cardio

Is it better to do 8 reps of a weight which makes you feel like dying everytime you do it, and sometimes you fail to achieve to hit all 8, and only do 6 or 7.

Or is it better to do a weight that gives you 12 consistently?

My idea is to add 1 liter of milk every day (that would be around 600 calories) and 2 scoops of weight gainer (380 calories).

How much weight can I expect to gain in 1 month adding those +1000 calories?

I usually cheat during weekends eating garbage and sleeping a lot. Do you guys think this also affects my gains? I'd really love to have two days to stop giving a shit about making food, eating food or anything related to skeleton mode escaping.

>>41012799
not the other guy, but I went from 150 to 180, approximately, in around the same period of time.

probably could have done more if i wasn't so poor at the time
>>41019397

If I can do 3x5 115lbs how long until I can 1 pl8

I'm 5'10" and 125 lbs or so. Send help.

yeah, everyone should be able to get better results than me, I work in a physical job 38 hours a week and have a beyond fucked up digestive system, I can't digest most foods which went undiagnosed for most of my life resulting in being underweight despite being able to eat large pizzas every day
if anyone's interested in my diet, I follow a low fodmap with the exception that I can have lactose

pictures are from before I started lifting there isn't many pictures of my body because I hated it so much, and the second is December 2015, I started lifting and eating properly around late April 2015
and my legs are
>>41012352

>>41004419
good progress
>>41004543
the lighting has gotten rid of any details in muscles but you can tell from the outlines of your body that you've gained muscle
>>41005179
just don't keep gaining at that rate and you'll be fine, I gained 5 kilos in the first month of lifting (I know it's fat) and then it tapered off
>>41005465
good stuff
>>41006491
nice work
>>41006746
1kg a month is good
>>41019305
if you're going for size then to failure is much better, if cardio then 12 reps consistently

thankfully I can drink milk, from memory I had 2 scoops of natural whey, 70g of milk powder, sustagen and filled with milk in a 700g shaker bottle twice a day, each shake was over 1000kcal
for lunch and dinner I would stuff my face for an hour with rice chicken and broccoli and I'd be close to vomiting point, then I'd eat more as soon as I can. At work every break was eating non stop

now I don't have to eat so much for lunch and dinner so I have the one shake and use oat milk (expensive but more kcal and I like the taste), 1.5 scoops and sustagen
I've found now that I have gained the weight controlling it is so much easier, I struggled to put on weight initially but now I could regain easily if I wanted to

It feels like complimenting someone's bicep gainz when they are 300 lbs of fat. but fatties rarely get that.

I use the Smith for benching because i don't have a spotter with me most of the time and if i fail i can just re-rack it easier.

Now i know the Smith doesn't work stabilisers, so what i do is do DB press after using the Smith, is that considered good?

You're not eating. Make sure to eat even when you're not hungry

>>41020670

I already count my calories and try to hit 2.7k everyday. It's either I'm not undercounting my stuff or I'm not eating enough.

>>41020476
I would use DB bench as my primary lift, then smith for accessory work
DB offers much more ROM than a flat bench would anyway, I'm guessing your goal is to get bigger and not focus on powerlifting
DB bench > BB bench
if you gym has it, then I'd use a machine instead of the smith machine, most smith machines go straight up and down, bench path is not like that, some machines offer a better path, not great, but better than a smith
>>41020531
took me at least 3 months before I noticed a change, 6 months other people noticed a change
>>41020808
like I said, initially it's hard to gain weight but after that you can easily drop and regain weight, you have to force yourself till you're about to chuck, or eat more often
something I would say is more of a last resort is get calories by simple carbs (sugar), someone suggested eating pic related (Australia) and I did that too and used to mix a bunch of walnuts into it, it's not the healthiest but it helped

Do you just put it in the shaker like that? Does it dissolve properly like in a drink? I don't want it to stick on the grate of the shaker or whatever it is in it.

>>41021006

Problem is with DB bench i can't progress by adding little weights every few workouts. It takes like 2 weeks to go up 2 kg for me. Like right now I'm doing 14kg dumbbell per hand, i don't think i can hit 16 anytime soon.

Dirty bulking. Eating about 1100 cal of PB daily cause its easy

>>41021235
what rep scheme are you doing? when I first started I would do 'warm ups' which were weight that I could do but it'd tire me out a little bit at 15, 10, 5 reps
then I'd go into 3 sets to failure aiming at a weight I could use for 6-8 reps
each time I'd bench and do maybe 1 - 2 more reps than last workout until I could use a bigger weight, I stopped at 30 kg (wish I didn't) and went to barbell and now I'm back focusing on dumbbells
anyway, I didn't get that much stronger, but my muscle size definitely increased
>>41021211
I've only used it in a blender
>>41021245

>>41021320

I usually try to aim 8-10 reps, after a few sets and fatigue kicks it it might drop to 6-8. For bench i try to aim 5, sometimes when i cant anymore it drops to 4.

What i did today was bench on the Smith 17.5 kg each side for 5x5, then moved on the DB press for 14kg, 8 reps one set, and i kept doing until i could only do 5 reps per set. Afterwards incline dumbbell at 10kg for 8 reps as well.

Then triceps work after that basically. And i did ohp seated on the Smith but only 7.5kg on each side..

>>41004539
To leave chicken legs behind you need to work on quads and calves. While calves are mostly genetic, to grow quads ive got a quick tip, do only this as a leg training: start every workout with a 1x20 set of squats, and increase by 5 pounds every workout, best 3 or maybe in a split 2 times a week, it will drive your squat strength up and make your quads explode(when going to parallel), but you need to bulk hard. If you want it in detail look up super squats program, it isnt a great program overall and incredibly hard, but your squat weight and leg size will explode

>>41004609
With 90% you can do at max 3-4 reps. If you stall just cycle reps, bench 70% 12/10/8/8, then 3x10, 3x11, 3x12, add 5 pounds and see where you are and slowly increase again

>>41018742
you're full of shit

>>41007339
If you fail just roll the bar down, if you are skelly it should be easy, and stand up when its at hip height, done it countless times with way heavier weight

Almond milk maybe? I've read that pure whey won't trigger the fuck out of lactose intolerance as well.

>>41022097

But almond milk gives gyno doesn't it

>>41021842
Dumbbells are a little better for even growth, which may be why you are feeling it more. You have to push evenly with dumbbells, which isn't always the case with the bar.
You also have a larger potential range of motion with dumbbells as they can be allowed to drop further back than the bar would ever be.
As for how to get doing it, easiest way is to just do it. As long as you aren't trying to 1RM all the time, in a failure state you should always be able to just place the bar on your chest and roll it down to your legs. Looks sad, but it's better than being trapped there forever.
Personally I do both, with the DB press being a lot lighter than the BP but I do more reps.

I do barbell flat bench but do dumbbell incline bench. I'm not sure if this works as my chest looks like shit. Probably have mild gyno as well.

At least I cover upper chest as well.

>>41022678
>>41022306

Okay can i use the Smith for my main lift, and DB press afterwards? This seems like the best approach to not benching because of lack of spotter.

And everytime i do sets i swear I'm pushing myself and the chance of failing is always there.

>>41022813
dude, learn to roll of shame, flat bench on smith sucks hard

>>41022864

A Chad had to saved me once because i failed a bar once. That massive shame coupled with the fact that I'm usually the smallest guy in the gym is hard to forget anon ;_;

>>41022813
I really wouldn't use the Smith for bench, or anything for that matter. Sure it's safer but it also locks your motion into a line for you, and you really aren't going to kill yourself with the a regular bar. Besides, what is going to push that last hard red up than the creeping sensation that death is nearly upon you?
Also, literally everyone will mock you behind your back. Or in front of you.

If you really are scared of the bar, just lower the weight until you feel you can safely do 5-8 reps in a set 5/3 times respectively. Add the lowest weight you can find in the gym on the next day you do the BP/DB. Continue on as usual.

You'll be fine.

>>41022874
Are you pushing the bar up over your chest? If you are, it should be laying on your chest during a failed attempt.
Sure it'll hurt a bit, but you ought to be able to roll it away from your neck/head if you failed your set. Just push the bar away with the strength you have left, and the bar should roll onto your stomach.
Then you should be able to sit up a bit or all the way, and in doing so push the bar to your lap. Easy.

>>41022874
if you dont make noise and roll of fast enough you should show that you know hwat youre doing. and if the presence of "intimidating" chads fucks with your workouts you should consider geting a home gym, because fat benching on the smith screams "i want dicks in my twink ass"

Bro, just ask for a guy to spot you. I know it might seem like you embarrass yourself, but some people are not assholes and are more than willing to help in their downtime.

If you are alone in the gym, with nobody around, then just don't attempt 1RMs.

Nevertheless, you can also get stuck on a smith machine, and then you are risking the same accident without training your stabilizers.

Smith machines suck. they won't help.
>>41022874
There is no shame in failing, bor. You are stronger than you were then, and that is what matters. Keep eating and keep trying little skeletor. You are gonna make it.

>>41022923

Yeah i get the bar down until it touches my chest then push back up. Usually what will happen is i will get stuck mid way trying to bring the bar up.

>>41022941
I don't want to feel like burdening someone though. The thing is most people always advocate doing 5x5, and my 5 is really the maximum i can go. Which is 10kg at each side.. i mean i could take out 1.25kg off each side maybe that would help?

>>41003352
I'll have to look for move and post them when I get a chance.

Another question about doing barbells row.. do you literally just grab the bar and load weights on it and stand in the deadlift corner and do rolls? I swear like very little people do them, most just deadlift. I don't wanna deadlift because of my bad back, so i just do rolls. But is it bad etiquette to use the bar to do rolls instead of deadlift?

>>41022991
It's fine. If you're worried about taking up space, do dumbbell rows.

>>41022991
>is it bad etiquette to use a bar in open space for an exercise that requires a bar and (in theory) a floor?
i dunno m8, in my gym you can do whatever you want with your barbell, theres no anti-row policy, and i dont get how it would be anyones business what you do with your barbell. unless its a dl area with a drop-safe floor or something, if its just open space then it should be fine

>>41023054

I have been doing them with fixed barbells. Do they feel different from barbells? Like i use 25kg for rows, does it feel any different from loading a 20kg with 2.5s

>>41022966
Since you are doing the BP in the right spot, you are fine. If you think you aren't going to make that last rep, don't struggle it.
You'd rather fail a set than injure yourself after all.
Once you've decided to not make that last rep, lower the bar to your chest safely and roll it away. EZ.
Sure you may get a look, but everyone knows you are trying.to get stronger and failure is part of the game.

>>41023153
The bar is longer, so it's a touch harder to keep level. Folks may say it therefore makes you balancing muscles better, whatever that may mean.
It's not a huge difference mind you, but you will feel the difference.
Oh and I find the knurling on the barbells is either more filled in with dead skin or smoothed away from use, so they don't tear the shit out of my hands as much as the fixed do.

>>41023177

I have never seen anyone done the roll of shame though and like everyone is a monster with those 20kg plates ;_;

>>41023232

How do you set up the bar with weights? This sounds fucking stupid but i cant imagine how i would set up 10 kg to each side of the bar on the floor for deadlift

>>41023284
That's probably because it's not often someone pushes themselves to the point of not being able to lift the bar again. When they get the feeling they are not going to make it, they simply rerack the bar and look angrily about the gym.
It's more common than you think, both circumstances. It should also be something you only need to do once or twice ever, because you'll know next time how your arms felt when they couldn't get that bar back up in the next rep.

>>41023315

If i don't push myself i might not even make 5 reps.. rip. that's why it's uhh dangerous? Because like I'm weak af and failing is possible as hell.

>>41022966
>I don't want to feel like burdening someone though
it is okay to ask for help, bro. You ask them and let them decide whether they want to help or not.

>>41021012

>>41023293
Place the bar in a spot where you will have room.
I put the plates I plan on using at either end of the bar. Puts them in easy reach once you lift the bar.
Lift one end of the bar off the floor, and get the plate vertical and jam the weight onto said end. Clip it.
Do the same to the other end.
Lift.
Profit.

>>41021012

>>41023360
Is this for just a single set? If so, and you are struggling to get a single set of 5 out, lower the weight.
If you are doing SS or 5x5 or whatever, then the last 2 sets should be hard. But again, you may wish to lower the weight a touch.

I am not saying don't push yourself at all, I am saying when you are feeling like you won't make it. You will know the difference once you get to failure a few times, then you aim to stop just before failure.

Do you guys all like the THICC meme like me? I feel like this is a common skelly thing.

6 months progress. 157->185lbs body weight. Took a scan and started at 11% BF. You could call my bulking a dirty bulk because I'm sick of dining hall food on my campus so I just eat whatever I can to keep growing. Going to gym 6 days a week. Doing chest arms 3 days, legs 2, and back 1 day a week. Current lifts are 155x5 / 245x5 / 285x3 -> bench, squat, deadlift.

All A days are the heavy days, whereas B days are lighter in weight. So if I am Dumbbell Overhead Pressing on A I try to push out 12kg, but on the B day I drop to 8kg for example.

Cardio is 3 times a week, trying to build up to 5K. I do it on the Back day and the Sunday, as I tend to get through that quicker, and it leaves more rest for my legs from Leg day.

My diet is clean-bulk on weekdays, dirty on weekends. A shake (1000kcal) and a tupperware meal (600kcal) I make on Sundays make up the majority of my calories, with the last of my intake being whatever me or my missus makes for dinner. I try to snack often throughout the day, with whatever I have to hand.

I can detail anything more if asked.

Hello guys,I am glad by seeing /Hungryskelly/ thread.
I have been working out sinc the beginning of january. I am trying to attend the gym as often as possible (can be even 6 times per week, but usually I 4 times is minimum). I gained 8 kg since I stated (63 kg -> 71 kg) which is I believe this is the highest weight I ever had. I am doing full-body workout, with main focus on the chest. as you can see, it is pretty narrow, comparing to my weird ass child bearing hips... I am doing bench press with around 18 kg on the bar (excluding the weight of the bar because I am not completely sure what is the weight of the bar), 12 rep being the failure... Can you tell me your opinion about my progress and give me some advice.

honestly bro your split is retarded and the imbalances show, stop trying to focus on getting your bench up, at least not at the cost of upper body work, its ok to leave legs behind, especially with these stats, but dont leave the rest of your upper body out

>>41024932
Yes I read the sticky, and follow it. Why is doing something other than 5x5 or SS immediate cause for 'READ THE STICKY REEEEE'?? I got bored of 5x5 after about 6 months and dropped it for what you see above. Coming back after a bruised coxis and I am enjoying spending time in the gym more than I did during 5x5, but I am there longer.

The sticky only covers the basic and for gaining strength. It's not great for anything more advanced or for aesthetics.
However, I still follow the basic rules, such as compound lifts are king.

>>41013302
Yup. I'm getting compliments here and there, though not as often as I'd like. I don't think people remember how skinny I was so when they see me now they think I've always looked this way

>>41022813
Stop benching in the fucking smith machine. Just roll the weight to your hips and stand up as another anon said. I've done this countless times.
Or just ask someone in the gym to spot you

im 6'9 and 142 lbs

my overall weight is low but i have a belly that stands out a lot.

Why is that? Is possible to have retarded genetics that will put fat while you are skinny.

If it so, should i kill myself?

Didn't exactly start as a skeleton but still, very very nice gains my dude

>>41028182
Wait... Did you mean 6'9'' or did you mean 5'9''??
If you meant the former, you have surpassed skelly and gone spoopy. Go seek help from those charities that feed starving african children, they will do what they can.
If the latter, it's because you are starting to go skinnyfat instead of skelly. Either start going to the gym to get muscles, or start cutting away some of the carbs/fat in your diet.

>>41029178
i was meaning 1.76 cm ....

so, if i go to the gym, should i bulk, how much ?

>>41029221
Depends on how you bulk.
> Clean Bulk
Bulk as much as you like, but this is the less fun option. You will be very strict in your diet and try to hit all your macros exact. If done right, you should gain all the muscle required with a minimum of fat.

>Dirty Bulk
You eat what you want, so long as you hit your minimum protein requirement. Aim for 1g of protein for 1lb of body weight, but getting as low as 0.6g per 1lb is fine. This is the easier option by far, but since you are likely to put on lots of fat as well, you will need to cut aggressively later.

When gyming do minimum cardio, as in at most a 5K 3 times per week. Don't stop it all, just don't do too much. Cardio costs calories, which will slow a bulk.

> tfw too poor to afford 200 kg plates

>>41029321
Oh, I forgot the how long bit.
For a clean bulk you can go forever, so long as you don't cheat too much.
For dirty you can only go for so long, as you will put on lots of fat. Go until you think your gains are being lost in said fat.

>>41019397
stop projecting

Are skinnyfats allowed, my forearms and legs definitely count. I've been trying to cut since I have stomach fat and it seems ridiculous in comparison to elsewhere but maybe I'm biased.
Also think it may be due to some hip/spine tilt because it seems to stick out AND have fat there at the same time. Wish I could bulk but I want to get rid of the worst fat first.
Hoping I get some motivation from seeing the smallest hint of progress but I've still got to keep going I guess, nothing yet.

thanks anon,

Im planning on bulking till i hit 70 -75 kg then start cutting.

Is intermittent fast a good choice for cut, or is just a meme?

Okay how do you barbell roll? I did 6.25kg on each side, light i know but when I rolled i couldn't feel any muscles being worked.

178cm Went from 58 kilos to fucking 74kg in like 6 months eating shakes with coconut milk milk peanut butter and shit fel really hard to eat was probably eating over 3kcals.. Get injury and can't eat stop everything lost my gains because I didn't reply to gains goblin just kept thinking whatever since I had too high bodyfat % anyway.... lose all the way down to 62kg... slowly recovering at 64kg now but don't make the same mistake as me guys being above 14% body fat is not good for Test neither is below 10%
Really easy to eat enough now. I plug everything into cronometer and eat 2800 -3000 20% protein 40% fat 40% carbs. One reasone you can't eat enough is too much fiber people trying to eat only carbs and shit nigger add some fat not hard. Here's what I eat for easy mode.

Potatos boiled 400g with 45gr butter
spinach 225g boiled
oats 20g soaked in 400g yoghurt with raisins 20g
sirloin steak 175g
orange juice 250g
beetroot juice or apple or cherry 250g
4 medium fried eggs
35g cheese
Salmon or fish 130g
apple
fish oil cod liver 1 teaspoon
kiwi 3

This is good for T don't go too high protein or too low carbs or fat.

>>41030158
forgot bananas 3small or 4 very small

Only my squats are still progressing in weight, ohp/bench are stalling
How do you guys keep the motivation going once you get some weight on?
I'm into ottermode now after about 9 months lifting, and while I still gym regularly, I find myself losing that drive to eat big.

Can I blogpost?

RIP gainz

>>41025468
I agree with everything you said, but every stat you posted SCREAMS that you are a complete novice.
I really like ppl, but there are a lot of good ppls, even for beginners(i think reddit uses ppl for their beginners), but what you do requires 1/2/3/4 and a very advanced physique, not even ronnie or arnold hit that much volume at a x1 frequency

>have to eat dinner AGAIN
every god damn night, why can't I just take a vacation from eating

The routine I've had the most success with after my noob gains year was:

>A: Chest/Shoulders/Tris
Bench - 5x3
Incline BP - 5x3
Pec Flys - 8x3
(slight cardio cooldown break)
OHP (DB) - 6x3
Chest press (machine) - 6x3
Tricep pulldowns - 8x3
Lat raises - 6x3
Then I go home and use an ab roller a bit before my shake

>B: Legs/Back/Bis
Squats - 6x3 w/ progressive warmup (bar+1pl8, bar+1.5pl8, bar+2pl8)
Weighted pullups - 6x3 (focus on good form before trying to scrape out enough reps on last set)
Leg press - 6x3 (don't lock your knees, hands on bars at all time, and its a fine enough exercise)
Rows (machine) - 6x3
Leg extensions - 6x3
Lat pulldowns, wide grip (machine) - 6x3
Calf raises - 8x3
Shrugs - 8x3

Legs+Back is a tough day but if you have a dedicated "leg day" (and cycle between 3+ templates), then you're probably not hitting the other body parts enough. It could just be broscience but I've noticed that most so-called 'hardgainers' are encouraged to hit every body group 2-3 times per week for best effects.

I've gained 70lbs since starting.

>>41030239
How long have you been at it? I got used it pretty fast and now the amount i eat feels natural

>>41030222
Well, make it up to yourself by hitting the gym extra hard tomorrow. And when you get home you take some actual time out of your day to cook yourself a healthy/good meal, no junkfood shit.

>>41023485
Good progress dude

>>41023651
Lookin thick and solid

>>41010047
idk man, smoke some pot, binge eat (healthy foods preferably) repeat until your stomach stretches. I had a really hard time with getting down 350+g of carbs when I first started, now I can down half that in one sitting easy.
You'll make it brah, dont give up.

Do skeles have it easier to cut once they bulk up, and then go back to their eat-very-little ways?

I fucking hate eating and trying to hit 3k calories a day is a torture. If it wasn't for the mass gainer i don't think it's possible for me to even hit 3k.

>tfw lower back hurt after deadlift
I think i fucked up my form.. you are supposed to use your legs to go up right..? Shit..

I am no expert on diets, I just stick to eating my calorie goal and hitting my macros. However I can see some sense to the idea, even if I think the idea of intermittent fasting fairly meme worthy.

Most skinny people I know skip breakfast out of routine or lack of hunger, as opposed to thinking about it deliberately. These same people tend to only have the 2 main meals a day IF requires you to have. Assuming you can eat enough in those meals, I can't see why it could hurt to try.

Worst comes to worst and you just go back to eating like a regular human being.
