Skinny Dude Training For Proportion- Progression Pics
23 yo somewhat bony hargainer.. I've been embarassed of my physique for a long time and have been lifting for a few years- most of which was wasted time not lifting heavy enough with the right equipment and wrong diet. I now know I need to be taking in at least 1.5 g protien to gain muscle and lift as heavy as possible with fewer reps. The lifting I was doing @ home had gotten me alot more defined, but I was seeing little gains. As I gathered info actually relevant to my body type I started getting better results- At '6 I was usually around 135 lbs since high school and I had gone up to 145 after a year. I joined a gym just 3 weeks ago and adjusted my diet and I'm already seeing very positive results- now @ 150 lbs.
I'm going to post my pics because I really do want your advice, BUT first I need to explain my goals. I don't want to get "huge." I want to stay very lean and after reading many of these posts, what many of you would call way too skinny. However, right now I'm way to thin so basically I'm just wanting to look alot more proportional which is going to involve packing on a lot of muscle. Particularly on my chest, shoulders, and arms. I'm much more interested in looking ripped/cut, and vascular than big.
Well.. let the freak show begin!
The first 2 pics are from a year ago when I was totally clueless.
The third pic is from 3 weeks ago just before I joined the gym.
The rest are from yesterday, after 3 weeks of hard training, fixed diet + creatine.
Even though I've always been very skinny, I'm starting to believe I actually have potential to get where I never would have though possible.
I know what I should be eating, I think the most helpful kinds of things would along the lines of training routines & supplements.
Thanks! Now rip away...
