I'm a 22 year old, 6ft. and 5in, and 187 lb male. I've been thin my whole life. My brothers are all twigs and my father is also pretty skinny. I'm the only one in my family who has ever tried to change my body, but with hardly any gym experience and proper training, I seem to fail every time I try and gain muscle.
I've never posted on this board before, but I occasionally read threads and I'm really just seeking for some advice. I don't really expect any of you to help, but if there is at least one user out there who has any tips or motivation for me, I would greatly appreciate it.
At 6'5" you're essentially a giant so you'd need GIANT proportions of food to gain size. You'd literally need to eat 5000+ calories a day to gain any real size. I'm tallish too (6'2") and I gained my best size doing full body workouts with a day or two of rest between. You're naturally big so you need to eat big and that means huge meal preps. I hope you have money. Cheap foods to consider are dry lentils (don't need to be soaked), white rice, frozen broccoli, and potatoes (sweet is healthiest, red most flavorful) Eat a little meat if you want but it's expensive as fuck compared to lentils. Lentils protein per dollar is insane....1/4 cup has like 10g protein. That's like 10 cents lol

My dad is slim even now in his mid 50s. If I don't eat 3 meals a day I will wake up a couple pounds lighter the next day. It's a chore but you have to make eating your hobby, you need to change your relationship with food. Everyone thinks the other side has it easy, eating all day is tedious af.

cont. Anyway, as far as reps go......the more the better. You are big so therefore have more potential muscle fibers. Anything that isn't a compound lift needs to be high reps.

1.) Read the sticky 2.) Read SS The Book 3.) Do SS 4.) Eat more, it is never enough.

It's true. It seems so simple but you really have to fucking force that protein down your gullet. Buy whey protein (quality doesn't matter since you shouldn't care about calories ATM) and drink that shit at the end of every day. Make sure you plan your meals and don't skip. Eat your veggies and high quality carbs like brown rice and beans too, obviously. Work out harder - if you're failing at the gym you need to research a decent plan or get someone knowledgeable to help you out. You'll feel sick some days from forcing food down your mouth but your stomach will expand and if you are working out hard enough you will want to eat more eventually. I'm 5'11 160 lbs but I was like 145 for awhile and I'm slowly getting there. You can too.
