>be me >skinny dude at 145lbs >start going to the gym >over several months I can see more muscular shape >I feel healthier and it raised confidence because I can see muscle tone >today, decide to check my weight. I figured I put on some weight >136lbs
I FUCKING LOST 9 pounds???? Fuck me. My confidence just crashed and fucking burned.
I thought by gaining muscle I'd gain weight. I was already skinny, so it's not like I have that much fat I could have lots. I can visually see I've put on muscle. But I still lost fucking weight!!
Anthony Jenkins
Eat moar fgt
Aaron Williams
you probably just lost a lot of body fat and gained a little bit of muscle.
eat more.
Brody Stewart
I thought I was...
I'm so fucking angry right now.
Camden Brooks
eat moar
Jackson Ramirez
im having the same problem, which macro should i eat more though?
i eat 1.5 g of protein per body weight, should i eat more carbs or fat?
Daniel Fisher
gotta eat big to get big
John Martinez
I'm eating bacon, eggs, buttery toast, chocolate milk and a banana right now
Jordan Young
E A T M O R E just fucking stuff your face with decent foods, don't concern yourself with how many grams of protein per pound because at your stage LITERALLY any amount of protein is an upgrade from the starvation diet you were eating prior.
Wyatt Evans
I don't care about getting big. I'd be happy at 155. All I wanted to do was put on 10lbs. But I just fucking lost it!
Christopher Rogers
>happy at 155 Are you like, 4'10" or something? You can't be a man until you weight 200 lbs.
Evan Carter
I'm 5'10". I just truly don't care about the whole "get huge" meme
Jason Jenkins
Clearly not.
Daniel Smith
>lost fat >gained muscle Pick one. Moron.
Liam Powell
Eat more you little queer. You aren't a man until you're 200 pounds.
Jason Lewis
who cares what you weigh, are you stronger at 136 than you were at 145? so keep going and up your calories 250 over maintenance. Why is it always the same fucking thing with you assholes
Isaiah Cox
Men aren't fat either, Mr Rippetoe.
Thomas White
So what you're implying is if you always eat the same amount as you burn no matter how much physically active you are, you'll never lose any fat or gain any muscle because doing both at the same time is impossible
Christopher Hughes
lol
Xavier Price
>same problem, which macro should i eat more though? >i eat 1.5 g of protein per body weight, should i eat more carbs or fat? more fat
Ryan White
We are the same height. at my lowest weight since adulthood was 160lbs. I was so skinny and weak people were asking me if I had cancer.. then again that is coming down from 210. For me 175-180lbs I feel the best, I'm the right combo of strength and speed that I like. I can hit a century on my bike in about 6.5 hours, run 2 miles in 14 minutes and I can still hit 1/2/3/4 at that weight.
Sebastian Gomez
>I believe every meme I hear
Eli Watson
I definitely am stronger now than I was months ago. But being a 26 year old, that fucking hurt to see 136.
Aiden Jackson
its called noob gains, those 1st few months you can lose some fat and build muscle at the same time, it doesnt last forever. 3-4 months at best. Now if you dont start eating more you will lose what muscle you gained and end up skinnier than you were before. Steak and potato for breakfast, whey and salad for lunch, 12-16oz of skinless chicken breast with rice for dinner. You will gain some weight slowly and it wont all be fat.
Aiden Edwards
I just made a 3lbs container of buttery rice with chicken that I will have for dinner later. And a peanut butter sandwich
Landon Richardson
this
Jackson Turner
Lmao@bait
Leo Long
EAT MORE A T M O R E
Oliver Flores
you should probably also throw 1/2 lb of raw sugar in there to add some flavor
Nathaniel Harris
I'm bringing 3 ice cream sandwiches with me to work
Austin Collins
It was probably just water weight. Happened to me too. also EAT MORE FAGGOT
Jackson Reyes
you fucking guys are all the same. you've got the motivation and the will power, but YOU DONT FUCKING EAT.
Nolan Cruz
Your body can either gain or lose. You can lose fat and lose a minimal amount of muscle tissue if you keep protein in your diet throughout the day and resistance train. You can gain muscle and put on a minimal amount of fat. Unless you have a ton of test flowing through your system, your body will not lose fat and still build muscle. This is a basic fact. Anyone telling you otherwise is a fitness magazine.
Eli King
Perfect.
Dominic Hughes
>im having the same problem, which macro should i eat more though?
Doesn't matter. Just keep the % of protein above 20%.
Pasta (on its own) = bad Pasta w/ chicken = good Rice (on its own) = bad Rice w/ chicken = good
Kayden Cooper
If you're feeling and looking better then who cares? Why are small guys that are new to lifting so obsessed with gaining weight? Just get stronger and the size will come. By the way, I am a small guy. Currently one sixty fully hydrated with a couple meals in, but I can't wait to be back down a few pounds. Being lean and healthy just feels better than bulking.
Eli Wood
Not the guy you quoted but he's right bait or not. It's not possible for a natural to lose fat and still gain lean mass at the same time due to this requiring insane amounts of testosterone for the average male.
OP probably achieved his stats across a few months time, and not really 'all at once'.
Andrew Sullivan
You don't want to be 136lbs tho. I fucking don't want to be either.
I WAS feeling good. Until I fucking saw my actual weight. Now I feel just as embarrassed as I did 5 years ago when I weighed 135..
Aaron Harris
you stupid fuck. quit perpetuating this nonsense.
Benjamin Kelly
Fuck you man I wish that was happening to me! My lifts have been getting better, but my weight has fucking stagnated, and I'm trying to lose weight.
Andrew Sanders
I have the opposite problem >6' 225lb (102kg) >Lift and diet for 2 weeks >Check yesterday >223
JUST
Connor King
throw a little cardio in you stupid fuck. the skinny fucks never eat enough and the fat fucks never cardio. Its always the same with you assholes. Go read the fucking sticky you dumbass
Henry Wilson
You didn't diet
Nathaniel Hughes
>2 weeks
Adrian Roberts
Wew lad
Leo Morales
Okay senpai. Care to take bet on that ? Im willing to get body composition analysis and in 3 months ill take new test and Ive gained muscle and lost fat You pay for them if Im right, I pay for them if you are right ?
Caleb Harris
Were you just eating the same?
Where's your fucking gallon of milk if you're 5'10/136?
Tyler Myers
"I'm planning to start a test cycle."
Jeremiah Hughes
>Were you just eating the same
Yeah. Just more focus on higher protein foods
I usually only drink 1 glass of whole chocolate milk a day, but it's super high protien
Caleb Carter
weight's just a number man, just be concerned how you look. Rich Piana is 270 at 6'1, which is literally "obese", but he's not, right? Remeber, weight standards are devious, just focus on muscle definition. Literally no one will go around asking your weight.
Daniel Gomez
>6' 185lbs skinnyfat 25% body fat >started a 600-700kcal deficit a month ago >lost only 3lbs >lost 1.5" of my waist >look significantly better, definition startint to show
Hunter Robinson
>but it's super high protien Show me those macros
You wanna gain mass, it's gonna come with fat
>Rich Piana is 270 at 6'1, which is literally "obese" Obese according to BMI, not LBM
Ian Thomas
It's just fairlife chocolate milk.
I don't want to get skinny fat. That happened to me in in the past and it was gross
Lincoln James
Chocolate milk isn't high protein retard
Christian Harris
You're lifting, if you wanna gain weight that's gonna be a combination of muscle and fat, so bulk on a surplus (300-500 cals) if you don't wanna gain disproportionate amounts of fat
Check the macros for this one, all their milk seems to be since it's lactose-free so more calories from protein and fat, less from carbs
Easton Turner
Ok, I'll start getting more double cheeseburgers from McDonalds
Luke Carter
Mcbulk is legit
John Stewart
I love McDonald's. I eat there twice a week. I'll have to start going more
Joshua Davis
>tfw tricking DYELs into becoming bloated greasy unhealthy sacks of shit because they want to see a number on a scale go up feels good
Tyler Cox
I'm not DYEL.

it's fine as long as you're actually counting your calories and not being a dumbass who just shovels them down his throat every day
