    So basically getting no muscle gains :O

    Well I've been working out for about 3 months now, following a regime provided by the fitness guys at my local gym.

    I do 40 minutes of cardio 3x a week and I also lift 3x a week, but I have no abs, no chest and tiny arms. Any advice fellas?

    P.S. I'm natural, no creatine, amino crap, whey, maxi muscle ect.

    Here's a pic if it will help you understand my problem

    Also I don't know what the random line is on my arm, possibly the screen or shadow.

    Make sure your diet is in check, make sure your cardio isn't too intense and give it a few more months. The gains will come if you hit the gym hard and eat right I promise you. Don't worry about abs right now if you need to gain weight, do it during your cutting phase. Worry about gaining mass first.

    OP you ever eat stuff with protein, or red meat?

    if so, hate to break it to you but you aren't natty
    Every aspiring lad wants to be a bodybuilder, but by George, nobody wants to elevate these burdensome weights.

    you def need some supps. its difficult to get all your nutrients from food... not impossible bust just difficult and expensive.. also it sounds like you may have hit a plateau.. switch up your training regime every 2-3 months to keep the gains coming

    I eat a can of tuna everytime I come back from the gym, can't really afford much red meat on my budget, but I eat turkey and pork 4x a week, tuna 3x. I have my 5 a day and drink water. I am natural if that's what natty means lol?

    Your diet is in check, post your workout schedule it's most likely what's holding you back.

    100% chance not eating enough or macros are not correct. and bcaas ("amino crap") are essential for you being alive. do some research before you complain about not getting gains

    Well probably not what you would consider "lifting", but I think I've got some strength developing just not the body.

    Here's a selection out of the "lifting" I do.

    Bench -70kg x6 - 3 sets
    Ez-curl bar - 45kg - x10 - 3 sets
    Deadlift 120kg x10 - 3 sets
    Incline dumbell press 32kg ea x10 - 3 sets Not exactly BEAST MODE, but it's a start.

    Do you lift?

    This kid is obviously not gonna make it as a natural bodybuilder, why is taking some supps so wrong? Even just a protein supp could help him reach part of his goal of gaining muscle so wtf is so bad about that
