hi, my name is kane and I recently started taking my fitness journey a lot more serious I have in the past with eating habits, training, etc... I'm wanting to add more mass and volume to my body with as little as possible of the "skinny fat" look while bulking. I've gotten my eating habits pretty down pat with good foods high in protein and carbs but I was wondering if anyone had any tips for the actual training such as methods or tips that work for you. Let me know !

    Get on on an ICF 5 by 5 or strong lifts routine. Look it up in Google. Best programs for people beginning strength work.

    There is app called sworkit, i'm pretty sure it will make your life easy .. And I think at the beginning you should start doing the full body workout and then you start working on the other parts of your body .. Best of luck

    Oh! This is my routine with my trainer feel free to copy cat.I just started so I am not at the goal number of reps yet.Once you can do 30 of each you add a 10lb weight.
    1.Side Squats 2. Arabesques 3. Squat up with a transverse crunch 4.Lunge to a hamstring curl 5. Alternating curtsy with arm swings 6. Forward lunge with twist 7.Alternating reverse lunges with arms up 8. Burpees 9.On your Mark's 10. Mountain Climbers 11.Step ups (using bench) 12.V-ups 13 superman's 14.Plank hold 1min 15 side plank (30 sec each side)
    Good luck!

    that is not a routine designed for bulking…

    OP - look into starting strength, all pro beginner, etc….

    Go on youtube and start watching fitness channels.

    While youtube channels and squat challenges are OK for weight loss, if you want to gain mass they will not be beneficial and pretty much crap. You want a structured lifting program that is progressive in nature.


    Read the stickies. Look at programs like strong lift, starting strength, ICF or if you have already addressed muscle efficiencies, then look into a volume program like GVT.

    @pinggolfer96 I saw this same advice from you the other day and looked it up, I have an ICF A and B workout,,,alternating, of course,,,A on Monday, B on Wed, A on Friday,,,,B on Monday,,,anyway, it's a big change if you've been doing high reps/lower weight, couple of different movements I haven't done in a while too, really shocks the system. And they say muscle confusion is BS!

    Thanks
