Take it easy on me lol

5'11 175lbs, making progress. I feel pretty dissapointed in my physique for how much work I've been putting in and how hard I blasted but oh well. It takes time. Keep refining. Working on the diet. Hitting 200g protein a day minimum, 4 meals a day or more... just keep plugging away at it.
When I have some more income I want to hire a coach, I could use some help.

Pipeliner47Mirin brah. Iyzz that still a thing. Pumpkin seed powder best used by muscles. Add it in
You need to really push the food. How many Calories and Carbs are you getting in everyday?
2500 calories 200+ carbs
Id rather be 180 lean than 200 fat, yenno? Bulking too much just makes me so depressed... cant handle it mentally, I was a fat kid and bullied real bad for it.
I figure im 15+ % body fat right now, should be good to grow, no?
You can slowly bump calories up if you’re worried about getting fluffy. Try 2750 for a month and see what happens. Then go to 3000 if need be. Then 10k if need be.
I think your lower than 15% bf. More food will make you grow more.
Training: the 6-10 rep range high intensity style of training does indeed work. Check out Mike Mentzer’s style of training. It’s high intensity, low volume, and achieves gains. It’s just intense as hell. You could also investigate rest-pause training for achieving hi intensity to failure.
Diet: 200g of protein per day is great. If you’re still not growing, think about increasing carbs. If it’s hard to increase the carbs and force down more food, try increasing healthy fats like peanut butter. Get those calories
Sleep/recovery: mandatory optimization here. Growth doesn’t happen in the gym. It happens afterwards while sleeping/recovering. Don’t take things that disrupt sleep.
What works for me after trying everything: Train to failure in the 6-10 rep range, once you’re getting over 10 up the weight, track EVERY set. Find lifts/machines you connect with and don’t change it up, improve like a mfer on them. Every set matters. Tracking is everything imo if ur not you’ll still make gains but they will plateau. You’re solid and clearly getting adequate protein, if ur stuck I’d have to say try focusing on intensity over volume. Don’t be scared to only hit a muscle group every 7-10 days either. This is what changed me and I’m gonna be honest I really never ran anything crazy or even high doses
That’s it !
Great approach, bro!
There are many methods, but whichever one you choose…
Mechanical tension and training close(or until hit technical/ partial/ total) to failure are the key drivers of hypertrophy.
For me personally, smart training means:
High intensity + low volume + high frequency = progressive overload = what’s gets measured, gets improved !
Great advice, I am old school I keep a spiral notebook on hand and track all my workouts, and have a table of my pr's in the back.
Intensity is everything, I let the reps creep up sometimes but take 2/3 sets to fail
Not working out 6 days a week is hard, days off I always feel like shit somehow
I like the one titty shot. Kinda cute.
Sight :edit - I bet you work 10xs harder than the fat fucks that lose some weight and everyone claps. This is the hard part for us skinny fucks, we over train and under eat. Now do the opposite.
I feel like being homo today, you are looking HOT, I think it's the shorts lol. Keep up the work and diet and you will get to your physique that you want to be. Your arms are starting to look big as well.
A little bit of gay is integral to body building
Aggie I claimed him. Sorry dude.
You can't claim him it takes both of us to have a 3 sum with him.
Love the nipple and inexplicable open fly/chub shot.
Takes time to put on quality mass, which looks like what you're getting. Almost zero fat. Everything looks to be growing proportionally. Just keep tinkering with your diet and plugging away at it. I'd kill to have your BF%.
and next time just pull ur dick out all the way and quit being such a tease.
Oh Jesus I didnt even notice the fly! sorry boys... or alternatively, youre welcome! Haha
Thanks for the encouragement big man
How old are you brother? If you don't mind me asking?
Just turned 30!
