Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yHow much do you weigh? People will tell you to eat big, but it is not as simple as that. Our bodies aren't magically going to use all of that extra food. You need to pace yourself with a small calorie surplus above your maintenance and see how you feel.
It's also about how much you absorb as well. I used to be really skinny but I started doing strength training 3x a week, and drinking 100 grams of oats 3x a day with a plant protein shake, and 2 meals, with natural snacks and lots of mineral water. I also supplemented with hydrolyzed collagen mixed into the oats. I add enzymes as well.
Mass gainers are often full of junk and excess sugars (I made that mistake too). 100 grams of ultra fine oats with milk or water, hydrolyzed collagen and enzymes is better and healthier than any mass gainer you can buy, and cheaper.
However, I do not lift weights, I use an Isokinator Green Giant... But so far this week, I've had 2 people ask me what lifting routine I do in the gym. When I tell them I don't lift, they don't believe me.15 Reply- +1 y
Im 160 but my metabolism is fast as hell reason i got the mass protein powder for $60 im waiting to go hard with it untill i figure out a good workout system and diet
Opinion Owner+1 yUltra fine oats will be a lot cheaper and have just as many calories, no junk, and more nutrients. It's not a complete protein so I add Collagen, still much healthier though. What height are you?

Yeah some guy told me that 2 but not gonna waste it now im 6"1 im naturally toned but just want to get thicker
Opinion Owner+1 yYou don't need to waste it, just something to bear in mind next time.
At that height, it might be a little more challenging to look thicker. Focusing on all of the compound movements will help. making sure you do progressive overload is key. Nucleus overload might be worth looking into as well.- +1 y
Thnx man ill look into it yeah shorter guys have it easier when gaining mass but my genes are good my dads a big guy so im just gonna do those workouts and keep eating and doing the protein shakes appreciate it 👌🏻

+1 yYou can't get big fast if you're a natural. Unless you have super genes, don't expect muscles to come over night.

Ok, then that's How you are gonna do it.
1) weighted chin up
2) Heavy deadlift
3) weighted dips
4) Heavy lunges
Train Heavy 2 times a week (basically, you wanna lift all you want)
Then after that you wanna eat like it's your last day.
Avoid cardio all together.
Remember junk food doesn't count. Shit comes in, shit comes out.
If you want to, you can add sprinting - +1 y
Ps eat a lot of Meat. I don't know about you, but when I ate meat, I gained a lot of weight.
Potatoes ( High insuline= Gaining more weight) - +1 y
Thnx ill do that
+1 ythose supplements won't do shit if you don't train and eat properly. I'd say focus on the big lifts, be sure to have bench presses, over head presses, deadlifts and squats in your routine as staples, this will all involve lots of muscles, so more gains! you can obviously add isolation exercise, but the compound lifts is where is at! Are you only training for aesthetics or do you wanna train for strength as well? If you're only training for aesthetics, working out in the hypertrophy range should do, focus on hitting 8-12 reps using the right tempo so that you get enough time under tension, you also want to focus on progressive overload.. so make sure you up those weights. Ideally, you would want to workout each muscle group at least twice a week. If you also wanna train for strength, you could have strength days and hypertrophy days. In your strength days you'd aim for less reps and heavier weight and hypertrophy days you'd up the reps a bit more

also, forgot to mention, eat on a surplus - more calories than what you burn
my first question is why do you want to develop muscle mass? Your body looks great at that weight.

2K opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic. Forget the mass gainer... but sure take it finish it but don't bother buying more...
1. Take it after the workout..1-2 servings
2. Eat whenever you are hungry but just track what you eat so you have an idea of what your body needs to grow maintain or cut. Track your weight gain or loss and adjust up or down in food from there. you should know after 1-2 weeks...
3. Lift light weights and do some machines for like 2 weeks to get everything greased up
4. Take 1 of 5 major lifts as your first exercise each time, bench press - squats - pull ups or pull down machines, deadlifts, shoulder press or military press -- and then follow up with isolation stuff... just do whatever you want,...
5. Work your way up to 5-6 workouts per week... to get ripped... Start with 3 a week and see how you feel20 Reply8.3K opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic. You take that stuff all day long and you take high protein all day long. You lift real real heavy weights doing five reps of five sets until you're totally exhausted. The heavier the weight you lift the more muscle mass you gain. Take it from me because I was just a skinny kid like you and I got real big lifting heavy and eating a lot. Remember the name of the game is consistency don't skip workouts

We were all noob once. Get over it. Get... Real... And im 240 pounds. Definitely not big true. But size was never my goal.

Okay well watch who you call weak i box and come from a family of boxers i have 4% body fat and 161 no shit im skinny nothing to do with anyones strength lmao
- +1 y
Lmao was that a threat? I boxed for 8 years... seriously. Ahahahah. Son, get real. 4% and 161 is skinny as hell. Boxers are not strong. They know how to hit hard. Gym strength, size and mass, things you seek, and boxing are not the same. Boxing is a great sport. But unless you're already huge, you won't get huge. I didn't.

No dumbass its a point a skinny dude can knock out someone big strength isn't size duhh
+1 y250 grams of protein a day. 150 grams of fat a day. Clean carbs. Heavy , high rep squats. Pullups-every hand grip. Heavy incline presses

Thnx
+1 yEat a lot and lift heavy. Find your maintenance level of calories and eat slightly above that. Eating is important and lifting heavy. Try these lifts
-deadlift variations: trapbar, Jefferson, behind the back
-squats: front barbell and back barbell
-press: dumbbell incline and flat press, also with barbell
-weighted chin ups
-croc rows02 Reply- +1 y
Thnx
- +1 y
yeah sure
+1 yYou mean you bought a "mass gainer" protein powder?
My advice to all noobies wanting to "get huuuge faaast maaan" is to calm their tits and focus on getting stronger first. I highly recommend stronglifts 5x5 or starting strength. Follow one of them to the letter and see yourself transform after a few months. And eat. A lot. Not just salads and protein. Eat normally but a lot!12 Reply- +1 y
Im already strong as fuck and toned i just want to be thicker thnx tho
- +1 y
You look very slim and weak. you're welcome though. Get real.
+1 yWell what you want to do is pay attention to your diet. Raise the carbs to about 2g per pound of body weight. Keep the protein to about 1g per pound. Calories as well 2g per pound of body weight and lastly focus on mass building exercises such as: bench press or anything pressing, and rows for back thickness

Ight thnx 👌🏻
It sucks but to put on a lot of size you're probably going to loose the six pack for a little while. It's just not possible to stay super lean while bulking. Lift heavy and eat everything
10 Replyjust compound exercises (bench, dead lift, squat) do them often
and 8-12 rep range but you won't gain as much strength as under 801 ReplyTakes time man. I would start with a beginner profram like starting strength, stronglifts, or icf 5x5 while on a surplus
