Would love to know what your priority is then brah

lol uwotm8?

and OP to be 100% honest you dont look like you lift, it looks like you have a pump in the picture too, do you?

hard to tell without before photos/no back or leg photos. traps and arms looking okay but HONESTLY no before photos so hard to tell.

dont forget 6 months isnt too long for lifting, start eating properly (bulk) and go hard at the gym and you can do better

[Northlax3]

my priority right now isn't a six pack

Even if your priority is not a 6 pack now, im sure at some point it will be. would you neglect your chest if your current goal wasnt to have a defined chest? muscle doesnt jsut show up when you start working an area. It takes a long time to develop abs and any muscle, so starting early would be beneficial if somewhere down the line you wanted to have a 6 pack.

There is absolutely no reason not to work out your core/abs.

besides that, your lifting stats are pretty good if accurate. 340lb 1rm Deadlift? are ya sure? at 141 lbs and 17yrs, that is quite a feat.

[BackofThePack]

is your left nipple concave?

[Hunter9999]

phucking run !

[Towerworld]

My priority is and has been to gain a large amount of muscle since i started bulking 4 months ago.

I've been bulking heavily for half that time, i've made no progress whatsoever on it only gaining 10 pounds of ****ing fat.
the pic was taken about an hour after a workout btw. I think its just time to quit.

don't quit brother! Keep at it maybe you just haven't been hitting the weights hard enough. If you know what you're doing in the gym as far as exercises go then maybe just make sure you're going to failure on every set my dude as long as you leave the gym knowing you gave it your absolute all then you will see results regardless of anything else. PM me if you need any advice on anything.

you said you've been eating pies and icecream and desserts and you wonder why you're gaining fat? what does your routine look like?

[PattyB15]

Chest is looking like you have extra skin there.

Do starting strength for 2 months, follow the program exactly and eat eat eat. See where you get from there to assess your progress. Right now you don't look like you lift.

[Towerworld]

well no gaining fat isn't the issue, the problem is fat's the only thing I've gained.

I do for the three main lifts 5x5's, 3x3's, 4x8's and 5x4x3x2x1's alternating each time with a few accessory lifts for 6-8 reps.

Routine:


Bench day:
Bench press obv.
Weighted Dips
Incline bench press
Side Raises
Upright Rows
Shoulder press

Back Day:
Bent over row
Close Grip Row
Weighted Pullups
Preacher Curl
Hammer Curl


Leg Day:
Squats and Deadlifts ofc
Calves sometimes
Weighted Ab Crunches
Leg raises

After days are done, 1 rest and repeat cycle.

Your routine seems like trash tbh. Hop on Madcows for that 3x/week frequency for best muscle gain. Your lifts are good for madcows. It's given me great gains despite being a strength program.

download myfitnesspal and track your calories and macros, make sure youre lifting with progressive overload and a little bit of self confidence would go a long way, stick with it man we're all going to make it

why's that? Dont use my "results" as evidence though.
And i can't do the main lift's more than twice per week, my hips, lowerback and shoulders can't heal quickly enough.
i tried the candito strength's 6 week program but i couldn't keep up with the frequency.

Dude you don't look bad. Just keep at it.

&& don't be one of those ab work haters I see these days. Bulk up, but work everything. Including abs.

[SmallCap]

Get on SS. Srs. Clean up your diet. And by cleaning up, I don't mean eat "clean". I mean eat 300-500 above maintenance, and not 1000-2000. Individual food choices don't make you fat, but the quantity will.

My old routine was essentially the same as SS and i stopped doing it because my hips and shoulder's couldn't keep up with the frequency and i ended up with overworking and injury.
I really don't know why i heal so slowly, after heavy squats sometimes merely walking is painful for the rest of the week.

Yes i do the reccomended stretches nearly everyday but it literally changes nothing.

Be honest.

Remember not to neglect cardio from your workout. Its going to get your heart rate up to get the blood and nutrients to your muscles even after you leave the gym. I would also clean up your diet a little bit, do your research and learn how to cook, that is going to be a big achievement when trying to bulk or build muscle in that matter. Mix up your routine with different exercises each month or every other month to keep your body guessing and you will be less likely to hit a plateau. Its going to take more than just going to the gym and working out in my opinion.

Progression doesn't seem optimal if you're just doing rep ranges of your choice. Candito isn't sht compared to bill Starr. After a week of madcows your body will be used to it trust me I had the same doubts when I first started. I'm in week 14 now. You're bulking. Take advantage of the best programs out there while you can.

[vdubryan11]

Use a new routine the one your using is chit. Lacking shoulder and back work.

E-stats tbh (lifts)..

If you are going to bitch about not looking like you lift in the first 6 months of lifting then you are out of your mind and really should quit like you say. It takes years to develop muscles. I've been lifting for almost two years and am not as near as developed as I could be. Quit bein' a lil bish, OP. I remember when I was lifting for 6 months. I thought I was swoll as fiuck and I always wore tanks and shiit to show off my "big" muscles. Now two years later I have gained quite a bit but I am going to keep going because I still think I look like shiit

Alright ill give it a try thanks.

I don't think you even lift. I think he has plent of work for shoulders and back. Afterall, it doesn't take much to properly stimulate the deltoids. And for back, he has 3 exercises listed... if he does 4-5 sets of each then that's sufficient enough... I see nothing wrong with the routine side as long as he's doing the right number of sets and reps, he needs to really concentrate on the diet side at the end of the day. Diet is 80% of bodybuilding. But you wouldn't know that since you weigh 144 you holocaust bitch.
