Hi Veeky Forums I'm 18, I started browsing around here around late october in which I found out I was extremely skelly (61kg and 178cm) so I started eating a lot more and decided to join a gym from halfway through november, I now weigh 68kg, I have gained 7kg in only 2 months time, which I fear is way too much.
I have never felt less confident in my body, I have been lifting and all my lifts are still bad but have gone up significantly considering how bad I really was when i first started S: 25kg > 45kg D: 45kg > 65kg B: 20kg > 35kg Pull ups: 2 > 6 Tricep dips 3 > 7 I have gotten significantly stronger, but I cant help but fear I'm gaining too much fat, please help Veeky Forums I do think I look better than I did than when i first started but I think I'm going to a downward spiral

Stop worrying about fat. You look better in the "after" picture. Keep doing what you're doing.

Cooper Perry
you look healthier, keep going skeleton
Jacob Adams
18 years old just babyfaced my dude. actually turning 19 in january.
Ryder Kelly
you look much better bruh, keep it up
Hudson Hall
you look a lot better in second pic. don't worry about getting fat, from your first pic it's probably a good thing to put some fat on your body desu
just keep working at it, if your lifts are increasing then you are doing something right. keep eating and stop worrying so much. to gain significant muscle it is inevitable you'll gain some fat as well. you can always cut later but for now you should focus on bulking for a while
Ryan Hill
dang u cute
Thomas Powell
You need to drink a gallon of milk a day son.
Chase Morgan
You guys think I should carrying on gaining weight the way its been going, or do you think I should slow down the rate at which i'm gaining weight, I've been skelly for life so this is coming quite a shock to me to just break out of it like this
Juan Watson
Keep going, what routine are you running?
Mason Howard
should have went trap what is your problem
Luke Reed

GOMAD+SS was designed for you. I wouldn't worry at all about gaining fat; focus on your overall frame at this point, practice technique on compounds with ordinary rep ranges and eat plenty of hearty food. If you don't want to sacrifice your health for the gain, make sure the majority of your calories come from "healthy" sources - think steak, potatoes, vegetables, eggs, milk or yogurt. Put butter on stuff. You have very little fat, you just don't have enough muscle yet to have definition. Ultimately, if you are getting stronger, it's working. Be patient.
Carter Gutierrez
For sure man, you ain't gonna become Kyriakos-like blob in a fucking month. Definitely bulk on.
Samuel Sullivan
Same rate. Just keep going. You can cut later on if you want, but there's no point in cutting if you have no muscle to show. Bulk now and bulk hard.
Brayden Allen
Just keep doing what you are doing keep increasing till you get where you wanna be slowly.
Or go back and become a trap. I'd smash desu senpai
Oliver Perry
You can slow down a bit, limit it at gaining at 2kg a month. Anything more is unnecessary fat that you will sooner rather than later want to get rid off. Don't forget to train your abs. Squats and deads are NOT enough, both for aesthetics and strength.
Kayden Bennett
I'm just doing what the sticky told me to do, doing SS, been working a charm for me been increasing lifts every workout, at first I did a brosplit and went with a couple friends but I realised my friend has been training for 3 years and hes barely got a 2 plate squat and he weighs 200lb, so I just went with SS and its been a lot better than the brosplit. Thanks user. Fuck that Yeah I eat big plates of spaghetti, rice, chicken breasts and potatoes, thats typically what I eat to gain weight, I very rarely have junk food just been eating this in excess. Would you recommend when I get to the stage where I need to cut that i do it through fasting or is that a big meme?
Landon Cook
What would you recommend I do for ab exercises, I dont want no mike chang six pack shortcuts workout Alright, would you think theres anything I can do outside of SS i can do to help improve my gains?
Joshua Clark
Eat more senpai. You are still young go ham on everything but sugar. Get you some gains.
Christopher James
I always recommend the ab wheel but it's too early for you to use it, so I'd say do planks and cable crunches until you get strong enough. I don't do planks anymore but when I did it was for 1 minute, and I added weight instead of more time. It's easier if you have a friend to load them on your back.
Isaiah Garcia
Do planks just 1 minute a day or do like 3 sets of 1 minute planks? with like 60 sec rest inbetween? Redpill me on fruits, is it okay if I have a lot of natural sugars e,g from apples and oranges?
Owen Roberts
dont eat a lot of fruit. just keep it simple, go with non-processed grain, dairy, and meat sources. still watch carbs or you WILL get fat and lose gains I'm not that user btw
Nolan Walker
i hope you didnt count the bar in your 1RM your progressing good just eat more holy shit
Christian Watson
This.
Little bit of fruit is great a lot is bad.
Jaxson Nguyen
Would you still say I'm skelly? What ratio of carbs/fat/protein would you suggest for me, I normally have a shot tonne of carbs cos I eat either potatoes, rice or pasta 5x a week
Isaac Murphy
a meal for somebody like you should have no more than half the amount of carbs that it does protein. also consider good helpings (over a cup and a half) of different veg, because you're tryna build new tissue. diet is far more important than liftan imo, without diet your lifts are near pointless.
Samuel Williams
post ass, twinky
Brody Butler
95% of the feedback you get here is just going to put you down, but yes you're doing well.
If you're concerned about getting fatter, then either track your calories/macros and/or start running. You honestly look fine in your second picture though, you're probably just too used to being skelly and now that you're in a normal weight range you feel fatter. I mean you are fatter, but a healthy way. If you had gyno or a noticeable belly, then yeah the fat would be a problem.
Nathaniel Myers
fuck off kid
Angel Ross
Get any bigger and I might feel gay for fucking your ass.
Ryan Watson
you went from twink to less of a twink
keep going
lots of protein, lifting and sleep, youll be fine
Christopher Murphy
you fucked up your twinkmode aesthetic. Now you're just average skinnyfat dude. You need to keep going or go back, staying where you are now is much worse.
Blake Brown
Increase protein and cut carbs if you care so much; but you look fine.
Im more impressed with than tan progress though, unless it's all the lighting
Michael Moore
>ribs showing >skinnyfat
He's still just a twink
John Garcia
> thinking lifting and getting bigger will help your self confidence Just wait til the full blown body dismorphia kicks in
Angel Johnson
You look good user. You no longer look like you're borderline auschwitz. You're probably just not used to having much weight at all, so what little you are getting is a surprise. Just keep up SS and eat more! Probably in around 6-10 months you could consider a cut because by then you'll have lots of muscle, but before that just keep bulking at 2-3 kg a month!
Thomas Jackson
gaining 15 lbs in your first two months isn't bad for you, because you were clinically underweight or nearly so to begin with. you should slow down your bulk to 4-5 lbs/month at this point
Jonathan Carter
Oh but add core exercise to your SS. I'd recommend planks and six inches (look em up) also you might consider benching more often than SS says
Jeremiah Sullivan
srs question, do you have scoliosis? your torso seems to be very weirdly aligned, especially in the 2nd pic
Jayden Brooks
how tall are you
Noah Jenkins
This.
Samuel Gomez
Fellow 18 year old starting skelly here, keep it up man we have a much better time than the fatasses 6 months 130lbs 5'10
Jaxson Brown
>130lbs >5'10
is your waist 26" or something? you're well past skelly, but you've got skelly numbers
Noah Baker
Yeah I just measured it, it's a bit under 26 in
Matthew Evans
fully kekd gonna carry on eating then Alright gonna do that I'm just gonna keep going then, I'm sick of looking like a trap Yeah its just the lighting unfortunately, I'm looking to get tanner though when I gain more muscle. Yeah I think its just a downward spiral desu Yeah I think its just coming as a shock value to me, I havent ever been this big in my life, I think I'm gonna look at going to a more steady state of bulking rather than 15lb in 2 months, thanks. Yeah I'm gonna slow it down now, looking back at my old pictures didnt notice how skelly I was. Ah I know of the six incher, that will fuckin kill, I'm gonna look to doing abs, Deadlifts and squats wont cut it and soon enough it'll become a limiting factor. I took the very first picture weird so in the second picture I tried to replicate it and it ended up me looking like a fucking retard, not scoliosis luckily 178cm What are your lifts bro ?
Charles Moore
>tfw 183cm 69kg with wide-ish hips just end me bros
Isaac Robinson
An improvement! Good luck, and keep at it!
Wyatt White
The fuck is that with a massive pump or something? I'm 140 at 5'10 and you look way bigger than me
Adam Cooper
Nigga shut the fuck up. That's no GOAL BODY. I'm amazed you did that in 2 months. That's badass
Jordan Ortiz
Wtf why am I turned on
Christian Ortiz
I meant *my when I said no. I'm on a phone
Ayden Long
AYY LMAO
Xavier Gonzalez
Moonshot, but you don't live in Tokyo by any chance right OP?
Mason Torres
jesus dude he's not that advanced yet just let him go.
ur fine kid just get myfitnesspal and put ur weight gain to 1lb/week and sedentary. this will guide you down the path of becoming a meatfreaksickdick
Bentley Richardson
so fellas I'm pretty similar to OP, 6'1 71kg, my lifts (3x10) are as follows Deadlift:65 Squat:52.5 Bench:42.5 OHP:30 Lat Pulldown: My routine is four days a week with each of those compunds hit twice per week, with some isolations for abs and arms. I'm trying to gain weight, but my TDEE is 4,142 Kilojoules / Day. How do I eat this much food in a day, it's bloody ridiculous.
Ian Jenkins
fuck that's 14,142 not 4,142
Blake James
Ah thanks man I really appreciate it I really appreciate that, fr, yeah it was in 2 months but I'm nowhere near my goal body. Trap threads on /b/ have gotten to you Nah I'd love to live in tokyo but I live in london L O N D O N I think I am gonna begin to count calories I think its needed to progress desu, I just normally think 'what did i have today that has a lot of protein in it' and make sure its roughly above 100g and I always eat leftover rice from the day before for extra kcal those are Kj not KCal, whats your tdee for calories?
