I've been lifting off and on for most of my life.
Been consistent for the last 3 months and I look the same as I did. I still only weigh 140lbs and its pissing me off. What the frick can I do to ensure I put on weight? I don't mind putting on a little bit of fat, but I'd prefer mostly muscle. (Goal weight is 170lbs)

You eat lots of food
I changed my diet already, been force feeding myself canned chicken and tuna, boiled eggs, I even bought a big bottle of protein powder which is almost finished and I havent gained a pound.
Fruit smoothies in between high protein meals. Push your final full meal for the day back until 1-2 hours before you go to sleep.
Don't forget about 2nd breakfast.
>2nd breakfast
Thats such a fukcing good idea. Why didnt i think of that?
>ush your final full meal for the day back until 1-2 hours before you go to sleep
What does this do?
>force feeding myself canned chicken and tuna, boiled eggs
lol
its not even working, im just wasting money
Eat carbs you dumbass Black person.
>high protein meals for weight gain
holy fricking moron, you need carbs and fat to gain weight
protein dense foods will fill you up too fast
eat pasta, peanut butter and shit like that
you also need carbohydrstes as well as 100% protein diet. try rice, oats, or just do what I did and eat simple sugars plus whey.
Have you tried eating food? Real food? Not canned garbage?
Buy a rossitiere chicken, rice and beans and eat you stupid frick.
Maybe a nice fricking steak too.
The canned tuna and chicken arent the only thing I eat. I eat my moms cooking as well, I make smoothies with the protein powder. The canned foods are only to ensure that im actually consuming protein.
Protein powder is doodoo. Eat meat like rotisserie anon said
Count all your calories
Lift to failure(do a shit load of half reps if you gotta)
Eat your body weight in protein 1g/lb
I used to be a gay like you OP but you arent special. You cant magically not gain weight. Its simple science just gotta do it right. >inb4 gay Go watch jeff nippard vids
ok, will try all of these
>more carbs
>more fat
>1g of protein per pound of bodyweight
>consume more calories
>sleep more
>1 teaspoon of olive oil with every meal
>2nd breakfast
>1 teaspoon of olive oil with every meal
Why even bother. That's 40 calories
>there are people here who can't even gain weight
What's your lifting and exercise look like each week?
Monday:
Upper Body, I have a minor shoulder injury so I dont do chest, I have to emphasize back
>Back
>Shoulders
>Forearms, Biceps, Triceps
Tuesday:
>Legs
Wednesday: I just dick around on Wednesdays because Im sometimes still sore from Monday, so i dont hit upper again, i do abs and cardio instead
Thursday: Upper again
Friday: Legs
I DO EAT CARBS
OP, a single tablespoon of olive oil is 119 calories, buy the real nice olive oil the stuff you'd use for salads. Costco is good.
Add a tablespoon to each meal, every sandwich you make etc.
Bam, 300-700 more calories a day EZ
If you're consistently getting a surplus of calories and plenty enough protein, you're probably going to benefit from getting more sleep.
Just drink tons of beer
no thanks
sounds like a plan, thanks
i know i need to sleep more, but i dont think im in a caloric surplus, ever, should i cut back on cardio?
>>>
You don't necessarily have to cut back on cardio, just try to be in a surplus. You can't gain weight in a deficit, anon, that's how math works. We need the nutrients to grow our muscles, sleep to recover, and more than our baseline requirements to be able to add more to our bodies. If not, you'll always be more sore/fatigued than you need to be and won't be able to use more weight. Definitely reread the stickied articles.
You sound like a pussy. Pussies don't get jacked, they get fricked.
