165lbs lol. im the same height as him, I started at around 125-130 and hit 165 in like 6 months. Definitely not all muscle but i didnt care when you start as skinny as i did i still looked sooo much better even with the fat i added bulking to that weight. And my strength went up like 100 fold ( not really but it went up like crazy) But i did hit my first plateau right around that weight like 165-168. 160ish was my first goal from when I started lifting I thought I was gonna look awesome at that weight, and in reality i just barely started to look like I went to the gym. Took a little while to break the plateau, guess what did it? food ofcourse, upped my protein dramatically. Hitting 185-190 at that height should be pretty easy with a few years of hard work and proper dieting. The noob gain phase is likely over though and continuing to progress gets slightly harder, much better diet, smarter training, rest etc. But if this is his starting weight then he should have no problem blowing right up to 200.

luckily he wasnt smart enough to figure out how to find gear on this site, Im not even gonna make any smart ass comments in case the clues lead him there, but for some reason i think he would need a step by step to figure it out lol.

Holy shit he was 24 he sounded like 15 when I was 14 I already had my own place (rented from a friend's parents) and had a car and job and that hard as fuck to do in the states job was a pizza parlor but God dam kids just have shit easy these days with Google lol
