Hey Veeky Forums user, Im 5'6 and 103 pounds, and can't seem to get any gains. I eat 6000-7000 calories a day, and tried lifting for a month to no avail.
really good at cross country but afraid it keeps me from getting gains
Pic not me, but smilier body type.
unfixed arms are 8 inches and thighs are 18 inches. I know I'm shit can I get some help?
Brody Taylor
Is this a joke thread tho? I'm 5'6" and 170. If you're a 100lbs you are probably lifting 5lb dumbbells. And are you really eating that much? I doubt it. I feel like this has to be a joke, I'd be a skeleton at that weight or dead
Ian Wright
You wouldn't be able to consume that many calories. So the answer is don't lie about your intake and eat more you skelly fuck
Andrew Walker
no this is not a joke. I eat what i said and lift 15-20s
is there anything that slows your metabolism
Luis Barnes
i think this is a joke thread. i'm damn sure op knows what he needs to start doing and stop doing in order to gain some muscle.
i was like op by default. looked damn near like pic related and could run my ass off. i highly doubt this fucker eays 6k-7k cals a day. i'd be surprised if he surpassed 3k a day.
John Anderson
you think you are eating 6k-7k cals but you are no way near that plus if you were eating that amount of calories and doing cross country you'd at least see leg gains post what you eat
Henry Adams
I'm exactly in op's position and I tried to ask Veeky Forums this question before, the replies I got were joke answers so I upped my daily calories to 12,000 and still nothing happens. What the fuck is this shit?
Jack Reed
Check for tapeworms my friend
Leo Nguyen
I know it's a joke, I'm the same height and have gotten strong as fuck on 3k+ calories for awhile now. Imagine all the shitting one must do at 6-7k calories a day and you would still get stronger or gain weight. It's too much food, you'd see progress somewhere.
Nah nah none of this ads up at all
Dominic Ward
no i swear this is not a joke thread please help.
you said you also ran. Did you stop?
I swear the calorie count is good i eat 6k on a average day usually 2 bagels cream cheese breakfast Lunch is 2 bowls of fried rice with beef snack is a turkey sandwich dinner is chicken breast with rice and green beans. i put butter on everything i eat
Cooper King
Do you have a tapeworm?
Cooper Bennett
i swear to god this is my intake. I take back 7000 its more like 6000 a day.
I shit once or twice a day
Cooper Howard
>6k calories with that little amount of food
You guys need to stop trolling now
Bentley Jenkins
i lifted through cross country lil bitch i was definitely smaller then but I looked alright and had a 16:30 5k just eat more
Michael Bailey
alright if thats not 6k what is. How much should I eat? I'm new to thisMy best time is 18:36
Jayden Reyes
4 scoops of protein 3 times a day 4 ben and jerries caramel chew chew ice cream buckets 4 chicken breasts with rice
Add in anything you can after this for extra effect
Joseph Ramirez
OP if you're not lying you deadass have a health disorder and need to get it checked out
William Brown
>how do I get big
YOU FUCKING EAT MOAAARRR.
Brayden Powell
That doesn't sound anywhere close to 6k calories. I'll also bet your portions are fucking tiny as well. They'd have to be for you to only be 100 lbs.
Or we go with the more obvious conclusion that you're trolling.
Cameron Cook
Pic for reference
Daniel Peterson
i didn't stop but i definitely didn't make it my priority. i'd add it in at the end of workouts, like 30 min max. also different kinds of running sessions, sprints, intervals, shuttle runs, etc.
you're burning a lot of calories just running. you want to burn calories doing strength workouts in a strength split. add in cardio but limit it to 15-30 minutes, if that. and you want to eat more meals per day. ideally
Owen Reyes
i dont I just been told by docs I have a very high metabolism
thank you
Samuel Gray
cross country has become my main sport and I'm on track for state.
I have a 30-40 min run mon-friday at varying intensity. Would eating more help with leg gains
Eli Hernandez
Scrawny people always think they eat more than they do and think they have fast metabolisms.
Christopher Bell
How about you track your calories you fuckin dope.
You can't just randomly say you eat 6k calories because you feel like you're eating 6k calories. I bet you're barley clearing 2800
Asher Nelson
> counting kilojoules and thinking its calories. > trying to bulk on 1500cals
Please be bate

good troll, you'll get the newfags
Samuel Diaz
If you aren't lying, it sounds like you either have an intestinal parasite or some kind of serious digestive problem. What are your shits like?
William Hill
i'd just focus on the diet. limiting breads and dairy. you could do short strength workouts maybe 15 minutes, then focus on your normal amount of running you do. just adding in strength workouts before, will allow you to have enough energy TO DO those workouts to begin with, and make your running a bit more challenging, forcing yourself to work harder. you can gain more strength allowing your stride to be more powerful. i wouldn't do a whole lot of strength training until your off season or until you graduate.
Adrian Reyes
Even the fastest human metabolisms are only an additional 400 calories from the average. Physiologically, that is enormous. 4000+ calorie BMR is physiologically impossible.
People such as olympic athletes that consume enormous amounts of calories USE the energy in physical activity. Unless you are an olympian, and forgot to account for the 10 gruelling hours of practice a day, you are NOT consuming and using 6000 calories a day, you colossal fucking idiot.
Adrian Diaz
I know this is b8 but the 8 inch arms threw me off the most.
I would love to walk around someone like that just to pretend I'm huge.
Lincoln Jenkins
lel a doctor would tell you you either have a worm living in your gut or you have a rare genetic abnormality that doesn't let you fully digest your food
go away fag this thread killed a more worthy thread by default
Noah Moore
Could be a bunch of things. Go see a doctor, dude. It boggles my mind how people are always like "hmm, there's something medically wrong with me... I'll go ask Veeky Forums instead of going to a professional who studied the human body for 12 years!".
Anyone falling for this bullshit should use the smithmachine as a guillotine
Camden Hernandez
post pics. hit up a nutritionist bro.
Carter Hernandez
that is the ideal male bodytype imo
no homo
Grayson James

Angel Carter
Why are you 5'6?
Benjamin Hill
9 SCOOPS COME ON
Luke Rodriguez
I guarantee you you're not eating 6-7k. Just admit you got this number from guesstimating and you have no substantial prior knowledge of diet, so you can go on with taking your life and goals seriously.
And lose the child mentality that everything worth doing takes less than one month to achieve. You're not gonna see shit worth mentioning in one month.
