Thank you very much!
While dealing with a lot of personal stuff now, I’ll try to get on track during Christmas holidays and to deal with it fully since the New Year T-ransformation challenge
Being skinny most of my life, I don’t really like losing much weight, just because of “feeling small” - do you think it’s realistic to aim for both losing some fat and putting on some muscle for a few first months of improved food intake?
Also, what kind of meat and what amount would you recommend? 1-2lbs per day of lean meat as Wendler likes to recommend? Or maybe some fish?
Thank you!
I’d probably welcome more bodybuilding oriented routine overall, but I found out, that as I’m not really knowledgeable in fitness, I’m able to follow simple strength routines without much trouble and to get some progress - overtime I’d definitely like to switch to something bodybuilding oriented maybe combined with some PEDs, but that’s a looong way to go now…
Also, yes, I’ll follow the strength progress now and switch when it’s not working anymore or I’m too bored by no visual progress
I’d also like to thank anybody in this thread - I’m going to write most of the stuff now back to my old log: Journey to Size - #59 by martin92
And just for comparison, I took some of the photos of my back now:
And compared to this January:
Like, maybe it’s only placebo, but now I’m like 3kg (~6lbs) lighter and I feel, like my lats are wider and the back definition is much better - albeit it’s maybe only better light in the photo

It will definitely get you started. Remember that gaining muscle is a SLOW process - don’t expect to add 5 pounds in a month. The fat loss can happen faster, so you’ll be able to see the muscle underneath.
For fat loss, I would recommend sticking to lean cuts - poultry without the skin, 90/10 or leaner ground meats, fish, loin cuts of beef/pork/etc. Avoid ribs, ribeye and meats with a lot of marbling. Shoot for 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight. I would probably recommend starting with 1-1.2 grams/pound.
