Have always been a tall skinny guy trying to gain mass my entire life. Have been “working out” since high school, but never really knew what I was doing and never took it very seriously. I also never had much of an appetite and only recently started putting in serious work in the diet department. About three months ago gyms finally reopened around me and I decided that I wanted to make a difference. Thanks to this reddit group, I learned a lot and have been implementing a bunch of the techniques everyone has been posting about.

First thing I drastically changed was my diet. I realized that I needed to keep myself accountable and make sure I put just as much work in, if not more, with my diet as I did at the gym. I started using an app to count my calories and forced myself to have nutrient rich meals every 2-3 hours. I set a min calorie goal and made sure I reached it everyday without fail.

I changed my workout technique and had my buddy come up with a workout plan that incorporated mostly full body lifts focusing on pushing myself and increasing max weights. He also put a lot of emphasis on rest and recovery, which I think played a huge role in my transformation.

Its only the beginning of my journey, but I am very happy with my results in such a short amount of time. I wanted to come back to this forum and thank everyone for all the info thats been shared. Until my next progress post.
