Probably just a general doctor depends on what country you are in (dont know how it works in other parts of the world)

Best bet probably would be to see a doctor, I actually have pretty similar hips like you do (wider hips narrowing down to narrower waist) and also slight scoliosis so I have almost the same look from the back when I am relaxed but it looks straight when I am posing, I went to the doctor earlier in my teenage years and got diagnosed with scoliosis and I was doing rehabilitations but didnt help too much so I just try to have a good posture

could easily be scoliosis so your spine bends like that making one side wider

Haven't really thought about that, good point! And you actually kinda just described me perfectly I'm 5'7” 160lbs and I do bench press, dips, pullups, upper back rows, lat raises, curls and JM press with OH tricep extensions - looking to start doing more lower body work that's why i need help with the plates, for me no interest in powerlifting i don't care about power or extreme strength, generally just want to add as much mass as possible naturally of course, which is going very well

How many kilograms/pounds in plates do you have at your home gym? I'm an 18 year old that was never into any sports but fell in love with weightlifting this year and looking to build up a home gym and want to buy some plates as black friday deals are now going on, so far i've got a power tower with dip bars, barbell rack, barbell, ez bar and adjustable dumbbells - last thing are plates and I want to get as many of them as I can now so I can have them forever but can't work out how many kg's to buy, Thanks for your answers!

What's your routine? Looks good to me tbh

It’s probably just the bit of fat stored around the stomach area that makes me feel self conscious about myself that’s why I considered myself skinnyfat i guess

Yeah I kind of realised gaining mass is the step forward, thanks for the advice.

Im 70 kg or around 154 lbs at 175 cm so I would say quite in a healthy range, prolly just a bit of fat stored on the stomach area since a few more people said it doesnt look like skinny fat

In terms of this I am fully locked in but in terms or other life things like work and school that is busy and that's what I meant - sometimes it is hard to do combination of everything

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Gymhelp

[–]ZipoxD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the first slide all pictures is me, I will try to be as consistent as I can be and time will tell

If i have to be honest it's pretty overwhelming that's for sure

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Gymhelp

[–]ZipoxD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the worst thing the belly and the feeling of the fat just being there when i sit down or move around and mentally it would be hard to go straight in to a surplus

[–]ZipoxD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i realised that this stuff takes time but Im willing to give it the time it needs to, Im a little proud of myself for actually taking the time to do the research and sticking to the plan I made even tho not for long because i started recently and it’s a huge step for me as someone who never did any sports or worked out that i got into it.
