I'd say eat a lot more but try keeping it relatively healthy & try protein shakes before workouts because they have substantial effects for both guys and girls when exercising and can really contribute to your muscle growth. #JS.

ok maybe its 2 much. i'll set it at 75. i suppose 20kg a year is reasonable for a noobie. so idk why i said 15kg in 3 months ahah.

You heard wrong mate. 20lbs of muscle is realistic if you do everything right, which tbh doesn't sound even close to where you're at with your half-arsed approach, no offence pal.

not including calories ect. thats long. gonna estimate and eat

goal: 75kg by beginning of jan
when i buy a scale i'll give u updates of my weights by the month/week


5'11/6'0
65kg(last checked couple months/a month ago).
started gym jan, stopped april continued july. been on and off.


canclled my membership and i'll be doing arms,shoulders and chest at home until december then consider going gym because i usually cba and been paying for nothing since i havent been in weeks.

i'll also try calves so my legs are twigs.

what i ate today:

5 eggs.

a salad+mayo+tuna

mass gainer
some grapes

3 slices pizza

gonna have some crossaints and milk in a bit


10kg by Jan is a massive amount of weight to gain and most of it will be fat. How many calories will you be eating per day? How much protein? Why so little leg work?
For me, it’s the season to eat as much as you can till Christmas and just chill.
And I don’t even celebrate Christmas

I cancelled my gym membership bc im 2 lazy and no point wasting money if i go once a week.

Im eating around 70g of protein(most from mass gsiner)

Basically im just looking to gain like muscle and fat. Then cut by feb. Also at 70kg ill still probs look the same but at 75 ill have noticable gains despite it being fat.

Im gonna use a calorie app to track and eat around 2.7k.
Leg work? Back work? Even 10kg of lean mass is completely impossible if you’re neglecting the majority of your body.

There is no room for laziness in bodybuilding or fitness, i'm sorry to break it to you but making progress requires significant effort, if it was easy everyone would have great physiques. I would advise you to bite the bullet and get a gym membership, the key to progress is consistency and the key to consistency is enjoying it, if you find a way to enjoy the gym laziness won't be a factor. Also, 70g of protein is very low, you should be aiming for about 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight.

Milk is helpful, cheap and no prep. Gets those calories and protein in easily.

If you are already skinny I would bulk for more like a year. You may find you actually look leaner 6 months into a controlled bulk as you will gain muscle so quickly as a beginner the fat won't be as noticeable. I would recommend starting strength and really hone your diet in.

i'll go back in after half term holidays(end of oct). on top of laziness i dont even have time to walk 30 mins and back to get there. with my a levels and stuff but i guess there isnt a easier short cut ahah.

i thought it was 0.8-1 for every kg. sh** i can easily get my protein up. i have around 5 eggs a day and i can have like 3 glasses of milk on top of mass gainers.

true so should i bulk up until march? rather than december. also what do you mean by controlled bulk?
