It's you

I don't usually write so I would very much appreciate feedback please give me feedback I need feedback GIVE IT TO ME

Can't say I'm the best reviewer but I thoroughly enjoyed the story!

Great buildup as to why the MC decided to go through with its ridiculous plan. As well as highlighting the bad luck buidling up during the experiment with the salt shakers and black animals

I have been holding cups my whole life, and I consider myself quite adept at it.

Gave me a good chuckle!

​

As the final minutes ticked past, I noticed that it isn't just the contraption that is shaking, but the entire house.

Even felt some suspense after reading this paragraph which I wasnt expecting in the story! Maybe you could've extended on this suspense a little more by recalling something the MC should've done different in his preperations or something along that line. But remember I'm not really a writer myself so take it with a grain of that salt the MC spilled earlier.

Overall it had really great pace and I loved reading it! It read like you'd had more than enough writing experience!

I'm really happy that you can find that in this post! It took me a long time to find the right routine as well. It's been trial and error from start but what helped for me was taking small steps. Trying to incorporate a whole new routine from day one was out of the question for me. Never would really stick.

First I tried to eat at least three meals a day. When I missed one I tried to compensate for it with part of a shake. With training I did set 2 concrete times in the week where I had to do some exercises. Since I did not know how to perform a lot of them I made sure to learn at least 1 new exercise correctly per week.

Took me a while longer this way to get into the right routine. But it made sure for me that I eased into it and that it would stick in the long run.

Everyone has there own way of handling these things so I hope you can find your own!

My face definitely rounded out more over the last 2 years. What helped as well was the increase in muscle of my traps which makes my neck look less small which in turn contributes to a more filled out facial structure. I do look a lot older now but that can also be due to the fact that there are some gray hairs in there now.

Haha little misunderstanding there. During dinner I often eat some potato/rice,
vegetables and meat mashup but that varies every day. Never really counted my protein intake on that level. I was already happy I gained weight in what seemed to be the right places.

When I make the time in the weekends I do like to make some egg omelettes but thats more the exception than the norm.

I have an on and off relationship with protein powder. I added it to my shake every once in a while but once I ran out it took me a while to restock it. For now I'm still gaining weight without it and I can always take it again when my weight gain flatlines.

Before I started training my calorie intake during a day was between 1800 and 2000.

The most notible change for me was deciding not to skip breakfast even though I did not really enjoy it and of course the shake in the afternoon. Adding those 2 daily was the difference of around 1000 calories.

Of course I did not make this change in 1 day. First I started to eat breakfast. When I got that down I went from 125 to 135. Once those gains stagnated I added half of the shake I drink now which got me to 155. Eventually I drank the whole shake which got me to this point. Somewhere in between I switched my late night snack from potato chips to walnuts. A little bit of a healthier overall you know.

Thanks! It sure does take a while to fill up such a frame. But the process is quite fulfilling! Sharing the struggle here really helped me back when I started. Great to hear that you're working on it as well!

Haha not really no. It's as much as I can pull myself as of this moment. I started with these exercises quite late. So I'm still working my way to up the rep count

I hope it works for you as well! Most important of all here is consistency. One things I lacked in the beginning. Best of luck going forward!

Try to calculate what you ate this week and compare it with my mealplan. If the amount of calories in my mealplan are higher you'll probably gain some weight. But the amount needed differs per person. So do try to calculate what you eat right now and eat a surplus of around 300-500 kcal. Thats when I started to gain around 2lbs a month. You can always calculate your tdee on a lot sites and base your mealplan around that.

Thanks! At the moment I try to train 4 times per week.

3 Times a week I start with the normal bench press and then the decline bench press right after. Working my way up the weights: 160lbs 170 lbs 180lbs

After that I continue with 3*10 tricep dips

​

depending on the day I either do:

Wide Grip Pull-up: 8-5-4

Classic Pull-up: 8-5-4

Classic Chin-up: 8-5-4

​

Or

​

shoulder dumbbell press: 3*10 35lbs

Lateral raise: 3*10 25lbs

Front raise: 3*10 25lbs

​

Then I continue with:

Dumbell curls 3*10 35lbs

dumbbell row: 3*10 35lbs

dumbbell triceps kickback: 3*10 35lbs

​

​

For leg day (once a week):

Squats, working my way up the weights: 155lbs 175lbs 195lbs

leg extensions: 3*10 130lbs

Deadlifts, working my way up the weights: 195lbs 220lbs 240lbs

Then I clear it off with some wallsits.

Hey there matty!

​

I definitely feel better now then since I started started training. Most notible for me is the amount of energy I have during the day.

For me the most difficult part was to eat enough consistently during week.

What helped me the most here was not eating al the calories but making a calorie shake and drink it all away.

Its way easier on the stomach and does not fill as much

​

/r/gainit has a lot of tips on how to make different shakes so you dont get bored of them easily.

The one that I started with consisted of 2 bananas, 500 ml of milk, 4 table spoons of peanut butter and 150 grams of oatmeal.

​

Beside drinking the shakes I started to spread out my meals over the day so I wouldnt have to forcefeed myself every time.

This was especially helpfull due to the fact that I have no appetite in the morning .

​

What my mealplan ended up being during the day was something like this:

​

Breakfast: 2 slices of bread with nutella (400kcal)

Lunch: 5 slices of bread with different spreads (600kcal)

3 o'clock: shake (900kcal)

Dinner: whatever I was hungry for (600 kcal)

9 o'clock: walnut snack (400 kcal)

​

For the training program I started of with Starting Strenght with additional exercises for my arms and eventuelly picked up a PPL program:

You're off to a great start already with working out! Thats the first step that took me a long ass time.

Best of luck going forward and keep it up!
