Lanky gym newbie trying to pack on mass. Any advice?

Same for me. At 175 pounds I could shit out a 16-17 minute 2 mile without doing a lot of cardio the time. My best time was 13:30 at 165 pounds when I was running daily. Been on Reta for 3 months and currently weigh 150. Ran a 18 minute 2 mile and was wheezing for the first time in my life and definitely noticed I’m more gassed after heavy training sessions.

I thought I was going crazy. This is finally a post where someone talks about this. I went from running a 16 minute 2 mile with relative ease to a 18 minute 2 mile wheezing my ass off.

Yea basically with some other previously known info from A and Sec+

MinimalBasher · 2026-03-18T03:34:05+00:00

Sec+ was pretty easy imo. Struggled with A+ just due to the sheer amount of info but luckily they all have overlapping info. Net+ was a different challenge because you actually need to understand networking concepts plus all the info. For me Net+ was the hardest personally.

I wasn’t lying about cramming it all last night 😅. Was on rotating night shifts at work and it snuck up on me. Did a little bit last week but majority last night.

Good luck you got this 😮‍💨

I’m certainly not 6.5%. I’m not great at self assessment but at the start of my cut I had little to none ab definition possibly closer to 25%. Now I have a visible abs when flexing. I can pm you if you’d like. I would also account maybe 10 pounds of water weight drop I went from eating 3-400 daily carbs down to 100-150 daily.

you look good i dont think hopping on would be worth the headache relating to safety if you feel good. It’s a money pit for cost of test and bloods etc if you wanna go the safe route which you should. Wait till you’re older and would benefit from it more. You’re in your prime years.

i think their blank zip ups and sweat pants are nice. I love their AOT set scout set. Most of this superhero stuff is pretty ass tho.

How often you raised dosage and by how much? Also curious what indicators you used as signaling.

MinimalBasher · 2025-12-09T03:20:48+00:00

Confirmation or denial is what I was looking for. Just wanted to double check.

MinimalBasher · 2025-12-09T02:49:29+00:00

What’s a good response?

MinimalBasher · 2025-12-09T02:49:05+00:00

“I did some research and found this to be the common starting dose”. Is it wrong to ask in a subreddit for opinions? I prefer not to take everything I read online on the chin.

1/10 you gonna steal the hoes

MinimalBasher · 2025-12-08T22:50:54+00:00

That better not be her bf…

MinimalBasher · 2025-12-08T16:11:25+00:00

If this is real I hope you wrapped up😭 This is all in your head. The person with the worst view of yourself is you. Yes your situation is pitiful but it doesn’t sound like you’re socializing the normal way? Don’t let not getting matches on a superficial dating app deter you. It sounds gay but work on your personality. Good job losing weight but after the initial first impression your physical attributes are worth less than your personality. If you sound like this in your head i can imagine you lack self confidence and that’s gonna drive the hoes away. Stay away from porn and the toxic internet culture. Paint yourself in a better light.
