6'3" and 135 lbs, don't know where to start (srs) (pic)

[RippedManlet]

Be thankful you're just skinny and not skinnyfat, just bulk bulk bulk while smashing the weights on a good routine following progressive overload and you'll soon gain some size

And don't use that fast metabolism bullchit either

[Afka]

used to be 6'3" 135 when I started lifting after a lifetime of not giving a phuck

just eat more; peanut butter, whole milk, cheese, etc. calorie dense foods


lift heavy and eat a ton

[cheatday247]

eat more.

[PapaHet09]

eating what? I'm a broke college student

I prob have to eat 3x as much as you do to put on a pound

U need more bang for your buck then in your food choices. If your as broke as u say, choose calorie dense foods, peanut butter, olive oil dressings over food. Still cant believe your that broke to afford 2.5-3k calories per day

[Hemunit]

eat, a lot

then eat more

brb rich piano diet
eat 10 meals a day
workout 14 hours a day
sleep when not doing either of those
5%

[1quick1]

Eat 3500 calories a day. No estimating B.S. Weight, calculate, and write everything. Once you do it long enough you get to worry about eyeballing things but right now you need to weight everything.

Once you start eating 3500 calories a day with a minimum of 130 grams of protein get that gym membership

Lift weights 4-6 days a week.

Do this for a month and check your weight. Adjust a few hundred more calories up if you are not gaining weight.

[Cinderblock]

Eat

Squat/Bench/Deadlift

[APCY]

Lol i wish I had no apetite... would be easiest cuts ever..

[1fast1]

walking coat hanger before i started lifting


after

[tank2003]

Holy chit. I'm pretty sure that just my skeletal system weights more than you OP. Wanna get big? Gotta eat big and train big

[ProteenBrah]

People are gonna tell you to count calories and eat this or that but honestly.... Just fukkin plow down food like it's your job. You are so skinny that if you eat a ton of trash and don't work out at all you will still gain muscle (srs) Just start eating man.

[sdoo]

Eat a lot, and lift a lot

[AtomicVeggie]

not rly, they're only size 11. It's the chicken legs that make them look big

My avi pic is from when I was in college so...

[Pennzoil22]

wow thanks a lot brahs all the responses helped srs. Was extremely motivated ~3 years ago but slipped into depression but now I am going to try again

[phillyfreak7]

-Download MyFitnessPal
-ACTUALLY USE MYFITNESSPAL EVERY SINGLE DAY AND HIT YOUR GOALS
-Eat your BW in protein and have the rest of your caloric intake come from carbs and fat
-Start working out with ALL your emphasis on building strength


You do that you'll start to look great. That's how I ended up where I'm at now.


BTW, there are NO excuses as to why you can't have the body you want. Any reason you give me or tell yourself is nothing but complete nonsense. I was skinny and weak when I started too. You are capable of looking and feeling incredible about yourself.

[aresman1221]

u arent actually in a bad position, you get to eat a ton chit of food and lift heavy ass weight, just go do it already dammit!

[ProteenBrah]

wow thanks a lot brahs all the responses helped srs. Was extremely motivated ~3 years ago but slipped into depression but now I am going to try again

Easiest way to keep yourself motivated and on track is to take pictures of yourself weekly and weigh yourself often. When you start to get demotivated all you have to do is look back at the pictures you've taken. Seeing your own progress will get you hyped up again. It also sounds like you'll really benefit from the confidence boost that lifting gives you. Good luck!

[AlanH123]

Holy chit. I'm pretty sure that just my skeletal system weights more than you OP. Wanna get big? Gotta eat big and train big

That's all it really comes down to, to be honest.

There is some truth to the whole "I'm just big boned" line. Although it's more to do with some guys simply having a much larger frame than others; a bigger rib cage, larger clavicles, thicker joints etc.

I suspect you have been 200+ lbs as long as you can remember? And being sub 200 lbs would make you feel tiny?

Because of the fact I have a small frame and was always skinny as phuck before lifting (6'2", 130 lbs), the idea of being 200 lbs sounds HUGE to me.

[mystic0608]

Insecure as fuk about my body and it's the main reason I have anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc...I know people probably think I have cancer, anorexia, or some terminal illness but it's not that I'm just lazy as fuk and skip meals whenever I don't feel like eating. I don't wanna make excuses, though I just want to put on some weight already. Been skinny like this all 20 years of my life and it's time for a change.

Where the fuk do I start? :/ All my doctors say it's normal, but it's not normal I've never seen anyone with a BMI as low as mine, and my doctor even say that I have the lowest BMI she has ever seen...Stuff like that made me not even wanna try

u wot? nice logic brah

if anything that should motivate you to try

edit: also ur body is not bad to start off with. just do a permanent slow bulk and go to the gym. simple as that

[sIghtLines]

Your about what I looked like when I started...

I know it sucks because your self image depresses you, I've been there brah and I know how it feels. You will put on the size, its not possible. But I still have those moments when I look in the mirror and see 175 looking back but just gotta shake it off. I'm still not happy with the way I look but that just motivates me to get in the gym everyday and keep my diet the way it is.


A few points:
-Educate yourself and learn as much as possible about fitness and nutrition
-At this point you can do a semi-dirty bulk, eat as much as possible. while lifting obviously
-Don't make excuses for yourself it will just depress you further. If you want to do this commit to it and dont let anything stand in your way. This is not an impossible task my friend. Plenty of people have done bulks before and plenty will continue to do so.
-IT WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

[TheJase]

chicken, beans and rice are three of the cheapest foods you can buy, but among the best at putting weight on.

This. I've read on several separate studies that men build LBM best at around 12% BF. And with you being so tall and (assuming) that you'll be training for mass, then it wont make that big of a difference

[theanimal50]

You need to dirty bulk and lift hard and heavy. Get on a good program

[trapaholic93]

[Pennzoil22]
