in Goal: Maintaining Weight
I'm a healthy weight for my height 5ft '7 10 stone
Problem I have is I'm small framed so I look quite skinny, my wrist look like they cant pick a flipping stone... i have really good grip strength according to this machine at the gym and I do have some muscle definition like shoulders,back, upper legs, lower legs forget them there laughable and abs show (due to being skinny for abs).. so if I'm a healthy weight should I stick with the same maintaince and work harder at the gym??? but how do I stop looking skinny ...i increase the weights by 2.5kg every week so I'm always progressing... all I do is compound movements hardly ever work on isolation find them too boring

    Generally speaking, you have two choices

    1. Run a couple bulk/cut cycles to try to add some muscle mass to your frame, or
    2. Try to recomp

    Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and (obviously) require different techniques to successfully achieve them.

    Do you have an idea what your current BF% is?

    Do you have a specific time frame in mind?

    Have you worked out what your average 'maintenance' calories are?

    Go to gym 8pm to 9pm

    Been small all my life so cutting would make me more skinny lol
