<------ Me 120Lbs 5'5 6 months ago.. Im the same height but gained 5 lbs no body fat. I've gained about 1in maybe a bit more on arms. bigger shoulders and a wayyyy bigger chest.
Aye what's good guys, I'm new here but uh...
Really just needed some help, I am 17 I weigh 125, Very low body weight I need to bulk, I feel like I'm no longer making gains...
My strength is platueing, I bench 165.... A bit more than my body weight.
It's really hard for me to bulk, I'm only 17 and behind in school so I don't really have time for a job. I barely have time for the gym.
I've tried gaining weight so many times, at the moment my diet is about this...
Bowl of Oatmeal + Scoop of protein powder for morning meal...
About two hours later I eat 4-6 egg whites, and wheat toast.
About 2-3 hours later I eat Chicken Breast / Glass of milk, Pasta.
Hit the Gym, I'm in there for about 2 hours ( I work out with my brother so it takes longer)
Right after the gym, I either eat more chicken, either Breast / Thigh's... Or a turkey sandwich...
I get home then when I'm feeling up to it drink a protein shake...
Dinner roll's around I eat Chicken breast with veggies, sort of a stir fry... Or with Rice...
I eat about 2 Hard boiled eggs before bed...
My gym routine is a bit weird, my brother has back problems so I do what he does and this is the routine.
Start, Bench 3 Sets Warm up with 2 45 plates.... Add 10 plates to each side then 5 plates...
Move on to Chest press 100 lbs for about 15 reps... 120 lbs for about 12 reps 130 lbs for 8 reps.
Move to Back, Do row's 3 sets... About 100 Lbs to 120 then 130 or 140 lbs. 15/12/8
Move to shoulder press. 40 lb dumbells. 12 reps about... Then 45's for 10 then 50's for 8.
Do pull ups... 3 Sets.
Do Cable Curls/Preacher Curls/barbell curls
Then Weighted dips / Skull crusher's / pull downs...
I do this routine every other day. So monday/wed/fri/sun
Then inbetween.. I do legs... Squats / weighted lunges.
I slack on legs... Should probably step that up..
I miss a lot of gym days because my brother either won't want to go, or has to work.
I don't have my license, so Kinda slacking on my part I shold be doing work outs at home...
However when I hit the gym I hit very hard.
I burn a lot of calories I believe, but I just can't gain weight.
I really don't have extra moneys for supplements.. I can barely afford food honestly my diet is pretty poor considering most the time I won't have half the foods I listed...
Do you think it's because of Diet?
or lack of protein... Maybe It's just harder for me to gain weight..
What can I do? Does this sport really cost a lot of money? I've been working out for about 2 years... 1 Year seriously.
I really can't get a job at the moment... School's a bit to important and I'm barely keeping up. I've been looking around for jobs around the nieghbor hood ect to see if I can work for money..
My brother and his wife eat out constantly... Never any food in the house.. When there is I make great meals and am on point, but it goes quickly.
I'm just trying my hardest... Oh and I noticed this was a Steroid forum..
I don't plan on using roids till I'm atleast 24+ just love reading about peoples results and researching on it so when the time comes year's down the road if I do decide to take them, I'll be prepared.
Just really any suggestions or tips would be great. Maybe I need to change my work out schedule?
I've tried a split program but I always leave the gym feeling I can do more, even if I hit the parts that I selected for the day as hard as they can.
