    Eat more and lift more. "Nearly 5 months" is nothing; quit expecting instant gratification.

      it's hard to tell without seeing a pic before you started but 5 months is more than enough to see better than this. Like anon said you're either not eating right or not lifting right.

      Don't know what this homosexual is talking about. 5 months with zero muscle definition or clear sign of lifting shows you're slacking

      the only thing you need to 'fix' is gaining more muscle everywhere. you've got a good base, just eat and lift and dont overthink it

      This was before, as you can see awful base. This is the life lanklets walk.

          I actually had like 2 or 3 ribs visible on my chest when I was starting out. Not to that extent but damn it wasn't pretty. Such a shame I never took pics to compare progress.

        >Hypertrophy refers to increasing the size of the muscle
        This means more reps * sets to give you a bigger volume.

        >Strength training refers to increasing the ability of a muscle to produce force
        This is not what you want. Who cares if you can lift more weights but your body looks like a thin feminie girl. Aim for hypertrophy.

        You're not doing enough reps per set. You should be 1-2 reps away from failure for each rep. Also, don't be so robotic with reps and try to do a certain amount. If you can do 20 reps then do it. Next time if you can only get out 18 reps that's also fine. But always be trying to get close to failure. And keep in mind, the goal is to do more volume.

        You're overtraining from doing this much exercises and volume. Try the Arnold Golden Six.

          What's always left out of these guides is the ratio of your 1 rep max you should be lifting. Doing a bench press of 50lbs for 10 reps is not the same as doing 150lbs for 10 reps. If you're not struggling by your last rep then it's not enough weight.

          Are you joking. I'm 6'0 and 225, but unlike you my body looks like shit. I have borderline gyno b***h breasts. Yet I can bench 230lbs with ease. Please tell me you're not joking so my ego can be stoked. I think when I first starting benching (6 months ago) my max bench was 150lbs. I'm black tho so we might have different genetics.

                Genetics do matter for bench size, maybe not in terms of race. He said he's 6'3 so he probably has longer arms. I heard longer arms translates to lower bench press. I'm still curious of what another person who is around 220lbs can actually bench press. I've only been doing this for 6 months so I'm curious if 230 is good. Mind you, I only have 230lbs to put on my bench at the moment, so my max might be higher.

                I am a fatass with b***h breasts. I can't seem to get rid of these gyno boobs. I was eating too much melatonin and ramon noodles, both of which gives you b***h titts (if you eat too much of them).

    Also you need barbell compound lifts to build a strong base and core - squats, deadlifts, OHP. Your routine is ok but I’d call it more moderate than beginner. Look into Starting Strength, it gets some shit but it’s a solid base builder

    OP that's disgraceful for 5 months worth of noobie gains. You need to focus on muscular hypertrophy instead of strength. Aim for around 8 to 12 reps per set. And make sure whatever weight your lifting that you're truly maxing out at 8 or 12 reps. Also, drink more protein shakes. You look like Skeletor. Your arms are similar in size to my ex who was a bodybuilder.

    tl;dr focus on volume.

        >12 reps is shit for a beginner
        This is completely wrong. It depends on if he's struggling with the 12. If he can do 20 yet is stopping at 12 then yes it's shit. I just did 12 reps of 150lbs (68kg). Doing a lot of reps works if you have a good amount of weight on it. It sshould be around 70% your 1rep max.

        He is skinny as frick and needs muscular hypotrophy, not strength. You don't get hypotrophy from large weights with low reps. You get it from medium weights with high reps. I don't think he's doing enough reps for whatever weight he's using. That's the issue. OP doesn't listen to these guys. Google for yourself the difference between muscular strength and muscular hypotrophy.

        At this point his MEV is basically the same as his MRV so just blindly adding volume will only lead to injuries and overtraining.

        As far as calories go - much more than what got him here is just gonna make him a fat fricking hog - which I guess is fine if he's going for powerlifting but otherwise is gonna look disgusting and shorten the lifespan.

        tbh natty gains tend to end at like 3-4 month mark so sure he can keep tryharding and gain like 0.5 pound of muscle per year but honestly I would just switch to cardio or something at this point. Maybe MA

      >Everyone is so mean to each other. Very sad. Poor advice to top it all off.
      Calling him skinny is not "mean". I'm trying to give him good advice and let him know that his progress in 5 months is nothing to be proud of (especially if you consider noobie gains). It seems like he needs more muscular hypotrophy and calories. If he only made this thread to get showered with praise then I'm wasting my time giving advice.

    ok if you HAVE ANY MONEY AT ALL I would strongly advise searching for a good trainer (like look up and make sure he actually trained successful athletes) and trying professional bodybuilding. The only person I know of who had these kinds of gains at 5 months is Ray Cutler and MAYBE Greg Doucette (though he was probably on tren at that point).
