Tfw 6"4, get mirins because handsome and dress nice, but have a horibble skelly body.

>>41521550
How did you escape skelly mode? Also How bad was it?

>>41521624
butter and milk,
people would make fun of me sometimes but that's it,it wasn't that bad

>>41521834
Yeah same, people sometimes joke about my milk consumption. Feels good

>>41521523
I was never a skelly (ex-fat) but I've been feeling pretty skelly these days

Im 24, 175cm and weight 54kg, im the true skelly here, started lifting 1 week ago, in any case theres no hope for me

I'm just breaking out of Skelly mode (6' 2" - 180lbs), and it's so fucking weird having a bit of body fat...like, my stomach has never been soft before, it's always been bony ribs and slightly disappointing abs, I'm enjoying the novelty, but at the same time I'm getting a little paranoid about putting more fat on.

>>41521948
178 cm here... 6 months ago i was 59kg now I am around 68, lifts doubled... there is always hope

>>41521970
Thats my goal, 65kg. Do you have any tips?
Do you drink milk? Weightgainer?

>>41521948
There is hope brah!

I was also a true skelly three years ago (21 y.o. at the time): 174cm, 58kg, 9% bodyfat. Now, after three years of training with intense passion and rage, I'm at 77kg. 11% bodyfat. Could even have done even better with the right diet. Just keep at it, don't skip a workout, less alcohol, enough sleep and eat healty

>>41521970
ay same stats,went from 59 to 78

>>41521970
187cm/6'2" 65kg/143lb right now, what is the fastest way to stop looking spooky without getting a bulging gut?

>>41522019
From 58 to 77 here

>>41522020
suck it in

>>41521958
Height and weight?

>>41522028
people tell me that I don't look like I have 78 tho
how about you?

>>41522000
i drink about 300ml of milk/day with my whey... I was doing SS for first 6 months and now I am switching to other program... I was also taking creatine and switched from fast-food/junk food diet to home-cooked... had to learn how to cook but it's better money and nutritional value wise...

>>41522020
Start lifting, eat lots of protein holding food like chicken, drink a lot of milk and water (water during your workouts). Eat rice, eat pasta. Eat salads. No soda's and no sugar, for some people, taking a mass gainer can do miracles the first two months when they start training

>>41522070
Also, do cardio every other day, low heart rate, during longer periods 45minutes to an hour to

>>41522070
>No soda's
>this
I switched from sodas to tap watter... I wouldn't recommend gainers tho, it's pure sugar... Protein shake is better option

>>41522037
Sorry nevermind misread it

>>41521958
I have the same complex. I was a skelly my whole life. 6'4 ans couldnt get over 165lbs. This year i turned 28 and in the last 9 months i have gained 30 pounds (195).

On the one hand it feels good to not be so skelly but i still kond of am. The problem is that i havent REALLY changed that much aside from lifting. I am worried that it's just matabism changing and im on my way to being fat without the control. Really fucks with my need to bulk eat for the lifting.

To all post skellys (6'3-6'4):

What should my main lifts and weight look like for a 10-15% bf that is NOT skelly status?

Currently 183 cm and 61 kilo. Am i ever gonna make it?

>>41522084
what about the cardio killing gains meme?

>>41522153

highly depends on genetics, at worst, you're skinnyfat and it will take you 3 years of slow leanbulking to get a "good" look, from which you can aim higher.

It may seem that I just got fat, but irl the difference is huge. Also those are the pictures, left 60kg, right 95kg

>>41522399
Also I hope you get that the "lean" was a joke

Thinking about it, the left one could be also around 63-65kg, that was two months of home lifting if I recall correctly.

This must be 60kg, first day of lifting with crappy gardening gloves

>>41522399

Dude i'm 186cm and was 60 kilos a year ago (now 71), and there's no way you could be that big. Any other pics? (n-no homo)

How's that MADMILK diet going, milk boy?

>>41523235
thanks man, my life has improved greatly since working out

>>41523184
Shit dude thats great, any tips on How you did it?

I'm 185, 60kg. Just drank 1 liter of milk and 1 liter of chocolate miik today. I really need to hit the gym again, but i'm waiting for my exams to be over

>>41523184
Where are the abs?

>>41522399
>>41522513
I'm 183cm at 76kg and look smaller than both of you. dont you guys know how to measure yourselves?

>>41523385
Maybe you're just fat then. At that height and weight you should be pretty big with low bf%. Also, guy in the second pic might be flexing.

>>41523325
Drank a lot of milk an peanut butter and counted calories. did what ever i could to gain weight no matter what pretty much. It was pretty hard because i would stuff my self so much i'd vomit a lot, my appetite was so small i'd be constantly eating food thorughout the day Probably bulked to hard tho cuz i gained quite a bit of fat compared to muscle

>>41523357
ive never had abs even when i was super skinny and tried. As of right now i dont really do any ab work although i should.

>>41523385
Frame is a big thing, fat distribution and I guess general body composition. I'm 185cm and 71kg at my lowest and was a bony motherfucker. Now I'm just at 73kg and look quite a lot bigger, probably because of some training.

Imo, skellys who make it usually have the best bodies because of their natural cut look.

Naturally thicc here.

~184/185cm
~78kg

Skelington here, or at least pretty skinny. Arms are pretty thin.

I guess I have to be around 85kg to look like I have some meat on my bones.

>>41522332
Go petite or go home.
All the "high test" (usually fat) girls are gross

>>41523312
I drink 1l of milk a day and people say it's too much. I'd say the diet is going pretty good. Gained 5kg in 4 months.

>>41523446
Thats good too hear man. Im gonna make it

For me i think its pretty much impossible with the genetics i have, i do have a good body for getting that lean male model look tho.

I was 5'5 started bulking hit 130lbs, cut carbs entirely (less than 20g a day), lost ALL my bodyfat, hit 119, started eating carbs again now I'm 125 lbs but I look top CUT lads.

>>41524171
I eat mostly eggs, nuts, red meat, the dark meat of chicken, and green vegetables. For supplements I take a multivitamin, fish oil, protien powder, and BCAAs. Feels good browski. No longer skeletor mode.

>>41524201
What kind of protein powder? Ive been usin unflavored whey but i have no idea if thats the best choice.

>>41524264
I use Pure Protein Plus because it was 2 for $30, but I recommend Orgain for taste, or Optimum Nutrition if you have $60 to drop on a supplement.

Pure Protein Plus has 23g of protien per scoop. I use two scoops and a scoop of flaxseed.

>>41523184

>around 115 at 5'10

That is basically me right now, good to know that there's hope.

If you want to end skellydom you must EAT and you must focus on getting your big 3 numbers up. If you can squat 2x your body weight and deadlift 2.5x your body weight you won't be a skelly anymore. So quit doing fluff n puff routines and focus on barbell compounds.

>>41522145
I'm 6'3 and I just got to 170lbs. after being 150lbs. my whole life. I know that I'm still skelly but it's so intimidating that I need to get to 195

>>41524692

Good job, looks like you're definitely making it

How do I gain an appetite as a skelly?
I've never been a big eater and food is the hardest part for me.

It's gradual, the more you eat, the more your body will become accustomed to larger inputs of food. Your body will also desire more food the more you work it.
Also eat more protein/calorie dense foods to get more bang for your buck.

It's been working for me, keep pushing

I second this guy, I'm 78 kg at 6'1 and still look much skinnier than your 60 kg pic

Been out of the hospital a couple of months now. Anorexia my dudes. It sucks and ruining my life. I don't wanna be skelly anymore

>>41522332
My girlfriend is 106 pounds. I love it and I don't feel like a skelly, is that so wrong? 6'1 160 lbs btw. I just feel sorry for our kids mang

>>41526034
Bro I'm sure you're not that ugly also girls care less about face than you think, I have very asymmetrical face but trick girls into thinking I'm attractive with posture, personality, charm etc. and if you're into thick ethnic girls they are less picky, just get swole my guy!

Which do you guys dislike the most, your skinny arms or skinny legs?

>>41527426
Skinny arms
I usually wear long pants but it sucks having twigs for arms that you're too embarrassed to show in public

>>41522392
Please eat; sincerely; a bro who used to be 6'2, 160

>>41527354
my emaciation sure doesnt help, but believe me im ugly

ive been teased my whole life for my looks, and even though this doesnt matter i've posted by pic on 4chan and reddit before and been rated 3-4/10 consistently. my face is asymmetrical but i also have ridiculous features (huge misshapen uneven ears, big nose, big eyes, bushy eyebrows, narrow head)

when you combine my ugliness with my weirdness and ADHD i never had a chance

>>41527331
Guys get anorexia? I hope you get better anon.

>>41527331
Start lifting and you can be small for the rest of your life. Boom anorexia solved

>>41527354
>>41527460
oh yeah also i did manage to find one girl who liked me, a girl who i met online through reddit. she told me "it would take a very unique girl to find me attractive" because i just happened to fit all of her points on her checklist (skinny, weird jewish looking guys)

thats one girl in my life who actually liked me, and even she said it would be rare to find someone who did

>>41527426
Oh absolutely my skinny arms. they are like girls' arms. both my forearms and upper arms are basically twigs

I actually don't even know how to know if my legs are skinny or not. i have a strange fat distribution and my thighs are actually kinda thick

>>41527483
Ok dude that's just physical attraction, I'm saying despite the culture on here if you get big, get a decent haircut etc. you can get by fine with the weird jewish look.
>>41527460
You can work on the weirdness and ADHD come the fuck on what a poor excuse I'm willing to believe us guys with ADHD have certain advantages with women actually, being unpredictable and spontaneous makes them wet af. Be successful and fcus on your mission, I'd also advise getting off of 4chan this place has helped me in a lot of ways but mostly done the opposite, best to take it in small doses

>>41527519
the thing about my weirdness and ADHD is that it has actually led me to being pretty funny, i've always been able to make people laugh with my "observational humor" and "quick wit" (others have told me this)

but i think the issue is that ultimately because of that weirdness and ADHD i just become annoying and turn people away, and then when i try to reel it in to be "normal" people just ask if theres something wrong with me or if im sick

>being unpredictable and spontaneous makes them wet af

only if youre hot

my parents were such gains goblins for me for my entire childhood. i really think theyre a big reason why i turned out emaciated

they were fine with my eating only a bowl of cereal for breakfast for my schooling years. they were fine with me always saying how disgusting school lunch was and that i would basically just throw it out and would never make lunch for me. for dinner, they cared more about having enough saved for leftovers the next night so they didnt need to cook again than for me having enough food, they would literally stop me from eating more even if i was still hungry

graduated high school 5'7" 115 pounds

after only 3 months in college with an all you can eat dining hall i went up to 5'9" 130 pounds.

i would visit back home and the same people who would ask me if i was anorexic would literally ask me HOW CAN I STILL BE HUNGRY and to STOP EATING SO MUCH

so fucking tired of them

>>41527708
That sounds kind of fucked up, they were starving you. They gave you just enough food to keep you alive.

>>41525950
Just bulk, you can look into GOMAD also.

>>41527331
I dont know if we are the people to help you with that anon, but i hope you are getting better.

180cm, started at around 56kgs of full on Auschwitz Arbeit Macht Gains mode and after two weeks of doing SS with absolute shit form and some cardio/machines here and there I've managed to build up some small, but visible muscle.

My weight also jumped up to around 58kgs, so it feels good to know that maybe I have some good genes in me. Gonna continue and hopefully put more weight on.

>get tired of looking so sickly
>start tracking calories and go from eating nothing to 3600 kcal / day

>attention from family, friends, and coworkers is insane

Not like i'm super big or super lean now, but at least i look healthy. If i can do it anyone can. I also started when i was 28, so my hormone profile isn't as good as most people on this board.

>>41521523
I started at 166lbs(~74kg) 6'1(186cm). Now im 234lbs(104kg). Bodyfat % stayed almost the same or less.


Drinking whole milk and ofricing myself to eat mroe was the only way. And SS with an extra 4th set on upper body lifts with more reps, chest isolation and curls really helped.

>>41529082
how many sets did you do?
Soreness after 5 days seems a bit much.

>>41529082
Do curls for biceps, and add rows.
You wont make a good back without heavy rows.
Heavy DB one armed rows with some cheating are awesome.

How do you deal with being skelly while only doing bodyweight training? I currently can't go to the gym and I was dealing with anorexia in past. Pic related, criticism welcome.

>>41529250
Also 169cm/60kg

>>41529220
I did 5/4/3/2/1, but I think I used much more my biceps rather than my back, maybe my form wasn't good

>>41529239
Yeah I'm currently doing bodyweight, but I do have a 2kg dumbbell, I do like 5xF for each arms ?

>>41529250
Thats not skelly man not even DYEL, you look good, i like your arms. Defenitly gonna make it.

>>41529296
2kg DBs wont do anything. Do the upper motion of chin ups to get more biceps work.
And get some weights Bodyweight only training lacks progression for traps, Legs and lower back.

Can I get some student budget friendly calorie dense foods?
Right now I'm doing mainly oats, baked potatoes, milk, almonds, tuna, peanut butter slices.
Any other cheap, easy foods?

>>41529911

coconut oil, put that shit in everything. can get a 500ml tub for like £1.50 in the uk

Just how the fuck did you guys do it. This is baffling.

How do you get swole if you only have access to a lifting bar on week-end? Pull up ?

I already know about diet and sleep.

Fuck I meant push up.

i'm not 100% on the nutrients but i know you can use it for a lot of stuff, often times i just eat spoonfuls of it if i'm below my target for the day, i like coconut though.

I was 55 kg at 178 cm. Now I'm 78 kg. Next year I hope to be in approx 82 with a 15% bf.
Just lift and eat

Former skelleton here...I was 1.75 Cm and only 55KG...I didn't even know /fit/ but i knew something was wrong...went to doctor...that woman told me about nutrition and gym...started hitting the gym 5 days a week and eating properly...78kg now, no belly...life change positively! there is hope for fellow skelletons!

I feel your pain anon. I just dont have a big appetite so i have to force the food down. Also i have a question. Are push ups better or worse when you are trying to gain weight? What are the best exercises to do that dont involve weight lifting that will help put on muscle?

push ups feel the same
dips kinda feel the same
pull ups get harder when bulking tho,
it's hard to put on muscle with these movements but doing them weighted helps a lot

filling out your shirts is the best feeling after escaping skelly mode
