Trained for a year but still not big

[scaz89]

I've been training for around a year and I've had my fair share of bulks and cuts (stay on a bulk for as long as you can) and I've managed to go from around 145 pounds to 155 pounds. I don't know my body fat but I do have a little extra weight on my stomach/legs so I'm guessing around 15-16%. I'm 5'9" (175 cm). I turn 34 next week. So I gained around 10 pounds and maybe only 7-8 was muscle and 3 pounds of fat. I don't look "big"


Do you think really I should weigh more than just 155 pounds especially at my height of 5’9?

First and foremost 10 pounds in a year is still something! what are your goals in terms of size and body fat percentage? Training hard is only part of the equation your diet is the most important part. Can you give a bit more information about what you are eating (with macros)? Looking "big" is a balance between body fat and muscle mass.

Should you weigh more than 155 pounds? Probably, but you're making progress its all about staying consistent and tweaking things. It takes a long time to get "big"

I'm 5-9...53 yrs old and keep myself around 155~162 area.
To gain 7 lbs of muscle, naturally (I'm assuming you're natural. If not, you're definitely doing something wrong), is a huge accomplishment. Muscle doesn't come easily and consistancy is king.
Keep plugging man
