Thank you so much! Hope you have a great week!

Take Rabbitjb's advice as well. You have all the information you need in this post. Read upon it and but it into effect. It will at least get you started.

-Just google Jason blahas 5x5 novice program. -Put it into action. -Eat at a surplus. -Lift weights. -preferably free weights. Don't touch the smith machine for a long time. -add weight every workout -don't expect to bulk up in three months. It'll take at least 6 months to end a good bulk. Sometimes even a year -Educate…

There's just no way all your major movement should be so low in weight. Te bench press is understandable, but the weights you're lifting in both squat and deadlifts are extremely low. Don't be afraid to add weight. Don't add 10 as if specified your friend told you to do in your post. You'll hit your 1RPM way too quick. Add…

You won't snap your shoulder on either deadlift or squat of you perform them correctly. While squatting the bar should be on your traps not your shoulder. While Deadlifting you shouldn't even be activating your arms. By this I mean you shouldn't be yanking on the bar as if you're trying to perform a row. Your arms just…

Bro c'mon these people are trying to help and it seems like you're switching up your story. You shouldn't be doing squats or dead lifts on a smith machine. The most I've ever done on it is weighted calf raises. Squats and deadlifts should be done with a regular bar(weighing from 20-45Ibs, I believe). This will allow for…

Agree. I know it may feel Bad to ditch your friends advice, but it may be necessary in this situation man.

Yeah it's confusing lol.

He does have somewhat of the correct idea for a plan. Although you could have a better one written for you. Or look online. Bodybuilding.com has loads of plans.

Hey man. If you haven't been training for a while don't be ashamed of it. It's not about how big you are or how much you can lift. Everyone's different. It's okay if you're new to this. Just give solid and honest information if you need help. For your friend to be training 18 years he should be giving you a little better…

Thanks man. I completely agree. Appreciate the kind words.

Sounds like you should be lifting a lot heavier than what you are. 10-15 reps is a bit high in my opinion. 8-10 is optimum for hypertrophy( which will allow your muscle to get enough work put on it in order to grow). I would say you should go on a strength program which would also help you build size. Maybe just do 5 reps…

Sounds like you're on the right track. What are the current weights for your major lifts? How many days are you going to the gym? Don't kill yourself trying to get 200g of protein. It's not necessary. Remember, it's not all about gaining the weight. You need to put forth effort in the gym to grow some muscle under it.…

I agree with what most people are saying. Although protein isn't the most important thing in a bulk. You shouldn't be trying to hit 200g of protein if you don't weigh 200lbs. Aim for 1g of protein per pound of body weight. Therefore, 166 is enough. Since that's what you weigh. Get plenty of carbs and keep your fats at a…

Thanks man. I appreciate it!

Thanks man. I really appreciate it. Hope you have a great week!

Yeah it really is a struggle, but you have to make the best of it lol. Thanks for the kind words! Good luck to you as well in your journey. I hope you accomplish everything you wish to.

Yes it is! I plan to! & Thank you. I really appreciate it. I wish you luck as well.

Thanks! Means a lot.
