Hey dude,
What type of workout have you been doing in the past? BB split, full body routine..? Post up the routine if you can and sample diet with approximate calories...? If you can't put on weight there's usually just one reason unless you have some sort of medical condition, and that is you are not eating enough. From what I gather you like to do a lot of aerobic base and cardio. If you want to really pack on the pounds, you need to cut most of that shit out. You said you go kickboxing 3x a week, well guess what, if you really wanted to bulk up that needs to go. All this BCAA and supplement BS needs to be put on the back burner until you have your diet and workout plan sorted out. Supplements like BCAA, whey, creatine make up less than 5% of the equation. It seems to me you might have been trying to do too much at once. To give you an example, in HS I did a lot of sports and was around 6-2 170 at 7-8% BF year round, could not bulk up or put on too much muscle for the life of me. Now in college I stopped significantly cut down on sports and bulked up to to 195 in less than a year while staying below 10% BF and I consider myself a "hard gainer" in the past. The formula for getting jacked is simple: Lift BIG + Eat BIG = GET BIG. I want you to emphasize STRENGTH OVER SIZE and get on a full body 5x5 routine. Get on this right now: www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/jason...s-5x5-novice-workout Find your maintenance calories and add 10% onto that. Don't sweat the 5% aka fat burner or bcaa. Those words should not even be brought up if you are 140lbs... Even though you have been lifting for 4 years you are still a newbie/novice and need to get back to the basics, which is lift big + eat big = getting big! |

Sup guys,
Thanks for the dope replies, very useful info that i didn't expect at all. I'm well aware with the eat big lift big concept since i joined GLL. Compound movements are the way to go. The thing is, i don't have a training partner anymore. I have no clue how to do proper form dead lifts and squats. I asked the guy that works at my gym once to spot me and he keeps saying that i'm doing my squats wrong, and even my abs (lol). Every time i do some research on the internet he comes there to tell me that i'm wrong. Even when i take advice from guys like you. I'm not sure if he's the right guy to take advice from since he's even skinnier than me. I also got a pretty vulnerable back (had some problems in the past), so i'm afraid that if i commit to doing these dead lifts wrong i'll fuck up my back. It's official now, i dropped my gym completely. I only wish i had people like you in real life that could guide me. There's a chance i might be joining another gym, but i'm just afraid or the history repeating it selfs, no gains.. I don't ask for much, i don't wanna get (too) big. The thing i want is an athletic physique. Check the guy on the left ^ He's only 135 LBS and 5'6. I wouldn't mind having a physique like that, of course he's a bit smaller than me, but you get the idea. I'm just so clueless, should i join another gym, get a personal assistant, do some online program. Follow the GLL diet, bulk up all these questions. While i see these teenagers running around with sixpacks eating whatever the fuck they want. It's really messed up ![]() |

Thanks bro, you really helped me into the right direction i appreciate all the effort. Like i said i don't have that much motivation to get bigger or more muscle. I'm eating a lot, but healthy, brocoli, chicken, eggs for example. (also drinking water a lot) So i probally should maintain my weight, also the kickboxing classes are really intense cardio. I think i will be able to get that sixpack popping soon if i stick to my diet. Also i do a lot of push up variations, standing squats without weights (don't know the name for it) i deffo feel my legs after every session. So everything is being triggered. Also i have access to some dumbells there, so i come an half hour earlier to a wee bit of lifting. The other day i trained my biceps with only two workouts but with a heavier weight than i normally would. My biceps were sore for the next two days so i guess i'm doing pretty good right now. |

I didn't think the "Get Hung" guide would have girls eyeing my bulge. It did.
I didn't think that your exercise and diet advice would have girls checking me out. It did.
I DEFINITELY didn't think that your hair-loss prevention would fix my hairline. Not in a billion years. It mother fucking did. You saved me a crazy amount of time, a ton of money, unnecessary pain, and destroyed my #1 source of anxiety. DESTROYED IT.
Kratom is next!
To anyone reading this, follow through, read this material, APPLY this material, and enjoy life.
Thanks again Chris, life would suck without you.
