Best training for skinny dude? 27 Aug 2017 18:10 #289613

I want to start going to the gym.

I have a friend in planning on going with.

I want to get toned up, not necessarily ripped.

Any good suggestions as to diet/routine?

Thanks!

You want to get toned up but not ripped? Those are kind of the same thing lol.

I'm assuming you mean you want to get a bit bigger. This means you need to eat lots and train. Do what's comfortable at first but focus on getting an adequate amount of volume in your workouts and you'll grow. (Aka. Do a good amount of sets and reps.)

I would go and punch in the calorie calculator as a base to see how much calories you need to eat in order to gain weight and adjust from there. I think it's better that way so you don't gain fat, but maybe you don't have to for a beginner? I sure got real fat when I didn't pay attention to diet as a skinny dude.

I'd suggest doing a full body program which focuses on compound movements like squats, deads, bench, military presses.The Push, Pull, Leg split is awesome because it allows you to work the muscle groups frequently x2 a week. I mixed in some old training I did from Body of a Spartan into a push, pull, leg split and it's working pretty good right now.

Look up Ice Cream Fitness 5x5 and do that program for at least 6 months. You should be able to obtain a 315 squat, 225 bench press and 400lb deadlift on it for 5 reps.

You should be at the gym already and not saying you want to start.

I've been hitting the gym for 12 years now but my diet sucked. I always said I want to "start" dieting.

I said that shit for like a year.

Well, I did end up starting dieting and man, everything I've done for the last 12 years is starting to show big time now that a bunch of fat is missing.

I should've started ages ago with a good diet.

Don't "start". DO. NOW.

Go to the gym now and figure it out later.

But your motivational words are good fuel. Seriously.

Thanks man.

Why do you need a friend to go with?

You need your boy to hold your hand while you piss too?

Just go by yourself.

Your "friend" is going to bail after a week.

A 315 Squat for 5 Reps after six months of training?

Maybe on steroids.

My friend is actually the one already training and doing boxing. I asked him if I could go with him, as partners help you stay committed early on, making sure you don't bail.

I agree... going with a friend holds you back. They may not follow the same program as you, may have different fitness goals, and may distract you which in turn slows down your progress and waste time.
But here are well reviewed and very successful novice programs that I know:
stronglifts
icf 5x5

As long as you're eating in a calorie surplus, sleeping well consistently, and training HARD, you will see gains.

best training for a skinny dude is anything. Do anything, you will grow.

I started weighing 120lbs, my first year I gained 45lbs. Its easy when your small and trying to gain weight.

that said there are better ways then others.

Rule #1 - increase weight over time. stronger = bigger

Rule #2 - eat. healthy. a lot. if your trying to gain weight you shouldn't be hungry.

Rule #3 - compound movements. things that work multiple muscles at the same time. Squats, Deadlifts, Front Squats, Barbell Rows, Chinups/Pullups, Barbell Bench Press, Dips, Leg Press, Power Cleans, Cable Rows, Lat Pulldowns, Barbell Curls, Incline Barbell Bench Press.

seriously in the last 5 years of training (minimum of 3x/week, and I've missed less then ~10 sessions for any reason) at least 70%+ of my training has been nothing but the Squat Bench Press and Deadlift.
Age: 22 Height: 6'1 Weight: 185lbs

2019 Goals

no porn 53 consecutive days (48/53)
0 drugs, smoking, social media accounts
455/325/520 Squat, Bench, Deadlift
$4000 savings ($900/4000)
10 new girls (4/10)
