(anyone can answer)[/QUOTE] For routine get on a strength program. I made the mistake of starting off on a bunch of shitty brosplits and bodybuilding type routines(not good natty with no strong base). I recommen Johnny Candito's linear or 6 week program, you can find them ez with Google. You could also do something like stronglifts or starting strength. All are good programs for building a really strong base. That leads on to diet though. Start off on a bulk. Figure out your maintenance calories and up that by 300+ daily. Basically eat a shitton of food. You might get kind of fat but it's temporary. When you're done with your strength programs and bulk, you'll be strong as fuck and can go on a cut(calorie deficiet) and even a split to workout for aesthetics if that's what you want. Gl bro.

Protein shake with milk 1/2 apple some oatmeal and a tbsp of peanutbutter soon after. 2 pb sandwhiches for lunch 2 plain mcdoubles after gym lol Whatever for dinner Same protein shake as before, before bed. I'd just try to get a lot of high carb high protein foods. Nuts, meat, PEANUTBUTTER, etc. And protein shakes are a godsend. Edit: if you have a juicer and can afford a lot of fruit an veggies, that's a good route to go and just make som craz high calorie blends as filler meals. Talking like 6 bananas and apples a day type shit. Edited April 13, 2015 by Sethy Share this post Link to post

Sethy 0 #69 Posted May 2, 2015 Man I was so skinny and pale and weak. Anyway, a little update. I'm steady 160-165, and really comfortable here. I plan on getting my lifts up a little bit and breaking some USAPL state records in powerlifting for the 163lb division(the records are pathetic). My current stats: Bench: 225 Squat: 255 Deadlift: 335 Goals for record: Bench: 255 Squat: 315 Deadlift: 405 So I'm very close to my goals. The biggest thing is squat but I think I'll hit all of those lifts in 2 months. Share this post Link to post
