  • Hey there! Medhi the stronglifts guy would say not to change program! I follow the 5x5 training regime as well! I'm only 155 pounds and I struggle to add weight to my 72.5 kg squat! But I keep preservering! Maybe eat more and gain more strength ! I'm gonna carry on with 5x5 and if I stall on a set weight for a while so be…
  • My waist is pretty much the same and my tops r a bit tighter but that's to be expected with muscle and fat gain isn't it?
  • I will continue but I gained 6 kg in almost a month! Only on 2400 calories and my diet is lean! Have a look and see! I think it's a healthy diet even if it's very much the same thing! My issue isn't putting on enough weight! It's that I will put on too much weight! I don't know how much was just water retention ! My squats…
  • I am doing exactly this ATM! Compound 5x5 and I was eating 2400 calories a day and I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere! Yes I have added weight and now weigh 70kg instead of 64! But how much of that is good gains? Look at my diary! I train every other day ! 45-60 mins depending on how busy it is! I try to motivate…
  • Constructive ty
  • That's the program ! 5x5 ! It's not essential u put weight everytime but just a form of progressive overload! To be honest as well even when I never did weights and did way to much cardio I sill had pockets of fat on my body even when I only weighed 10 stone! Skinny fat if u like! And the weights are heavy enough for me to…
  • Stupid!! Beans are good for you! Good protein source !

  • I'm similar to you in regards to weight and height and wanting to put muscle on!! I'm eating 2400 give or take and doing strong lifts every other day! No cardio!! I put on 2 kg last month and have my next weigh in in a couple weeks! Obviously u will put on fat and muscle even if u try to eat clean! I'm getting roughly the…

  • Jesus I thought I was skinny! Well good news for u is your young and are still growing! So if u want to take it seriously you are at the best point to maximise potential and take it forward as a lifestyle choice! I'm not expert but listen to whoever responds! I'm 30 and just starting to try what ur trying! Wish I started…
  • Redruth in Cornwall!! Feel free to add!
  • I weigh 145 pounds and I put on 2kg in about a month! I was on 2700 but my tdee is 2200 so just to bulk is around 2500 apparantly! I have only 2-3 shakes a day really! I don't mind being strict as I look at it as fuel! I try to eat more carbs but tbh i think I eat a lot of good food anyway! Oatmeal every morning ! Snacks…
  • I would really appreciate someone coming to tell me if I'm doing it right but that's because I'm a beginner! Today actually I think I hurt myself ! I have no one to workout with ! Tho u have to be careful! Some will take offense but u are doing it for there best interest! To prevent injury !
  • Also while bulking and having all this milk and healthy food ish! Can anyone check my diary and tell me if I'm going wrong anywhere? I'm hitting my protein 150-180 and fats are in the 80 - 90 and carbs are prob lacking the most! ? U can prob tell apart from odd treat I had on Wednesday I'm not eating sweets and stuff! Is…
  • ATM my waist is 30 and I would rather it don't get massively big! I thought u could add muscle without increasing ur waist too much! But then it depends how I felt and fitted in the clothes I was wearing I spose! Will try and keep my calorie I take around what I have been doing! Just I can feel my back changing and my legs…
  • Thus my my concern? Should I then drop my calorie intake ? Any ideas guys? Is it coz I'm at early stages of the 5x5 as ur adding weight all the time but u start low and make increase fast! Should I carry on or lower to about 2300 a day?
  • Depends on how rigorous ur wieght lifting is tho. I'm 5ft 10 and 145 pounds! I do 5x5 and only 2 weeks in! I'm trying to eat 2700- a day and already feel like I'm putting on fat but that's because I was a ffb! I put on 5 lbs in a month! Not sure if that's good or bad gains! I'm prob scared a bit ! When I start lifting…
  • Too much or what any help? A friend said that was fine ?
  • Also just weighed myself! I've gained nearly 2 kg since 16 of march? So a month? This is too fast isn't it for muscle gain so should I lower my intake or what!? I'm 65.9 kg now! And 5ft 10 worried that my 2.7 intake is too high?
  • Hmmm! See my tdee 2200 and I eat 2700 a day roughly! Eating that much and finding time is hard with work and life ! I'm same height as you and weigh 140 pounds ! 3500 seems a lot I spose to me! Need to get me some scales really! I get about 180 grams protein workout days ATM! I'm on the strong lifts exercise to get…
  • I have no idea what my bf% is tho I'm 5ft 10 140 pounds and still doing the strong lifts 5x5 program and eating between 2500 and 2900 calories a day! Consuming about 180 grams protein and 80 grams fat all healthy fats! Prob not eating enough carbs. ATM I am just slows adding weight as the program dictates! Tho the squats…
  • Star Trek!
  • I'm using myprotein impact whey protein
  • I workout in a gym and my friend is a personal trainer! So I think I have the form right but it's more about the amount of weight? It's low ATM! Guess I should t wanna rush it! I can't upload a video via my gym unless I ask someone to take it for me! That would be weird as the gym manager isn't that approachable ! U would…
  • It's not huge! But it annoys Me! U would think loads of cardio for 10 years would have got rid of it especially at a deficit for so long! Not sure why it's there! How much weight is too much to start re evaluating? The weights are going slow and steady ATM ! Arm still needs to repair! I wish I had a trainer to tell me I'm…
  • Well my tdee is 2200 so 500 above that is 2700! So that's what I use! Maybe it is more! I've always eaten at a deficit so eating more is getting use to it
  • But I train every other day so should I eat 2700 every day or more? Tho I am self concious of my lower back. It always has had a bit of blubber and although I'm only 10 stone ATM and I did cardio overload for 10 years it never shifts? And I don't wanna out wieght on my lower back. Will squats and deadlifts clear that up…
