Yeow! Well I'm a pre skinny guy.
And I can't put on any weight even if i tried.
I eat and eat and eat. But nudda.
Ive recently started doing some gym work.
But to be honest I don't know what the hell I am doing. Hehe.
I do the pec deck for chest ( i think)
Bench press ( no idea for what)
Some leg thing where I raise my legs lifting weights.
Dumb bells
And a bar bell, by over arm grip, and raising up to my chest then back down

What more could I do? Arm wise and chest wise and leg wise. Everything in general.

Lateral raises
Bent over raises
Bicep curl
Tricep extension
Tricep push down
Shoulder press
Lat pull down
Push ups
Squats
Leg press
Calf raises
Leg extension, which is what you may be doing
Cycling- although you'll get awesome legs, you won't get big

Also I'm sick of people trying to get big and eating "heaps", but the heaps they are eating is mac as, cakes,muffins etc

Best are rice cakes, cottage cheese,oats etc
Although I guess you're already eating fine anyway, just trying to make a point that those guys rarely get big ripped, but rather big fat.

Kris gethin eats 12+ rice cakes for snacks. Beast.

It does take a while to get used to things.. I suggest you spend lots of time reading whatever you can, and watching youtube videos. It might pay to get a personal trainer for a while as well, to help you out... You cant really communicate that much over text

[JellyDonut]

get on a program. i haven't given a shit about fitness for a while but i remember some good beginner programs like
starting strength
stronglifts 5x5
westside for skinny bastards

rippetoe, the guy who wrote up starting strength has some vids on youtube re: technique
some other good ones are videos from elite fitness. so you think you can squat (or bench) series are pretty helpful. tips and stuff from recordholding powerlifters.

and you haven't eaten enough for long enough. if you don't feel like you're putting on enough weight, eat more.

Finally got my 10 reps bench press up to 70kg

[Bhootnike]

started gym a few weeks ago, back into it.
I was surprised with how far ive come only in about 2 and a halfish weeks.
before year 12 begun, i was managing squats and deadlifts of 120kg. i started squatting back with 60kg, and man... i struggled a bit on the first session haha. but 2 weeks later im upto 72.5kg, so its getting there :p
same story with deadlifts, except i began on 70kg and im upto 90kg.. i like deadlifts =D and bent over rows.
started off slow and easy to get proper form right, only then did I add more plates.

bench press is different though, i struggled so bad with 60kg on my first session, that i dropped it to 50kg for my last 2 sets. i guess it was inevitable, first proper bench press sesh with spotters since end of 2011 haha, but 3 weeks in i can hit 70kg again.
moral of the story is.

LIFT THAT BADASS MOTHERFUCKER. only then you can get gains :p

And eat like an animal ^

Hows everyone going? Im up to 69.5kgs from 64kgs since bulking at the beginning of february Will probably stop at 76/77 kgs. updates people?

[alondouek]

Eating plenty and eating healthy; going to the gym at least 3 times a week and really pushing myself; but I'm still not putting on weight. I've plateaued at 47kg, which I'm kind of worried about, so I might make an appointment with my GP to see if there's anything I can do about it.

Goals for the next month: Put on 3kg, benchpress 45kg and swim 5km.

Guys, I trained with abes.. and he's a freak.
We trained back and when I woke up the next day, I actually couldn't move my back properly (muscle pain). It was the best DOMs I've ever had.. thank you, Dr.RizKILLA.
I actually cried afterwards because the workout was so good.

As for myself, nothing special, just cutting fat still (Y) Haven't weight myself in a while but I'm assuming that I'm about 118kg


@ alondouek, sick goals dude, you should be able to achieve them! I hope everything gets sorted out with your GP as well. GOOD LUCK

alondouek you probably have a super fast metabolism so diet is going to be the main factor ine putting on weight. Simply put it you must eat like an animal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2rpqubbGt4
