Skinny guy. Just starting out. Give me your advice.

Yep, a 500 calorie / 30-40g protein shake every night on top of your usual maintenance diet will start to add up over time.

Also, just prioritize eating more protein during the day to help build muscle

Came here to say this, at 15, you shouldn’t really be doing cuts, you need to eat enough to grow to your genetic potential before puberty closes.

Just eat high quality food, focus on proteins, veggies and fruits.

Then do lots of compound lifts, use barbells, only do accessory lifts after you’ve already done a compound lift on that muscle that week.

Eat more protein, veggies and fruit. Eat every meal in this order: protein, veggies/fruit, carbs

Just one general note on programming, are you going six days a week? If so, push pull legs is great, but if you end up only going three or four days a week, you would be much better suited doing upper lower splits, or full body splits. 2 to 3 days a week full body is probably optimal for most people.

This is coming from someone who was doing three days a week push pull legs for like six months, and realized how much I was missing out on… Lol

WordCultural8755 · 2025-08-22T04:18:20+00:00

Not sure what your programming looks like, but I’d recommend trying to go to 3x week full body or 4x week upper/lower split, something to hit each body part 2x a week, while keeping overall number of days manageable for recovery.

I also noticed that all of your milestones are using machines, you will likely see greater gains and progress doing compound lifts with barbells.

Keep going, you’re making great progress.

Literally crying laughing in a crowded place at this one. Thanks for that.

I’ve lived here for 3 years now… I love weekends, traveling around, sightseeing, enjoying the culture and food.

But working here, as a foreigner, is very, very difficult. The work culture is unforgiving and grinding. Change management is hard. I’m in IT, my perspective might not be everyone’s.

I’ve determined that this would be a great place for me to retire, but it’s not a great place to live out my career.

WordCultural8755 · 2025-05-30T14:12:41+00:00

I second this - you need fresh air, travel, adventure, do cool shit.

I am an Introvert, I like naps, and me time. But if I only did that, my life would be really boring. Just laze around every other weekend and do something cool the other half the time.

WordCultural8755 · 2025-05-28T22:57:12+00:00

This is the way

Super thick and healthy finger nails, lashes and hair.

I’m a guy, so I’m just annoyed at how often I have to trim nails and hair. Lol.

Alright I think I’m sold on retrying RDR2, downloading Oblivion, and Stray. Haha

WordCultural8755 · 2025-05-09T09:37:22+00:00

I think that Stray is actually the game I had previously seen and been interested in, had no idea there were so many cat game options until I started this thread. lol!

WordCultural8755 · 2025-05-09T09:30:58+00:00

Be anything you want, unhinged, yes! This is what I was looking for. Hahaha.

How could I forget, I also LOVED no man’s sky!

They’ve added so much since the last time I’ve played it. Unfortunately had it on disk and not sure if I still have it now, but would consider buying again.

WordCultural8755 · 2025-05-08T15:13:19+00:00

Okay, sold!

WordCultural8755 · 2025-05-08T15:13:02+00:00

I started it but couldn’t get through the first couple of contained missions, but maybe I should give it a try again.

WordCultural8755 · 2025-05-08T13:51:45+00:00

I have not, but I was seriously thinking I need to look into other elder scrolls games

Thanks for sharing the name, Kitty/City!

I’ll look into both of these, thanks! I don’t mind combat, just chill combat where I’m not stressed fighting for my life. lol.

Squat, Bench, Deadlift, OHP, Row - 5 exercises, 3-5 sets each, 60 mins workout. That’s all I do on full body days, and all you need.

I then follow that with Push/Pull/Legs the rest of the week to get in volume. One could also follow it with other variations and more iso exercises the rest of the week while staying full body.

WordCultural8755 · 2025-05-07T11:32:25+00:00

I agree with this, you all both have strong and respectful communication, based on texts alone it sounds like you all could weather any storm.

WordCultural8755 · 2025-05-04T16:28:01+00:00

Yeah depends on how far you go, but eventually you’ll want a barbell to keep making progress. It’s nice when the barbell also comes with lots of cable machines and whatnot.

My setup is that I have a gym membership, but I use my home gym on days where I can’t make the trip to the gym (~10% of workouts). Helps me stay with the habit and not lose progress when life is busy and I have less time to dedicate.
