I hope you realise I’m just arguing for the sake of it at this point? Because every attempt at reasonable suggestions and good advice has been ignored, deflected or rejected.

Now you’re actually helping me though… isn’t that good?
Could the neg. chin ups as first exercise might ruin everything for 6 big months? O_O

no.

lift weights.

Then why did @Pinkylifting say that this is what I should have done(not doing it)? If didn’t ruin anything there is no problem having it in your routine?

NSFW for those of you that haven’t seen it, this is fantastic and the single greatest coaching clip I’ve ever seen.

Clearly just trolling and arguing for the sake of it now. All rather tedious.

you’re not listening. I’m saying that if you want to put on muscle, you should lift weights and eat more. My God, it’s not that complicated.

I am not happy with this answer

I’m sorry you don’t enjoy hearing the truth. The truth exists outside of your preferences. I can’t change it, only tell you what it is.

Here’s another answer you likely won’t be happy with:

you will never actually put on an appreciable amount of muscle. You are physically capable of doing so, but not mentally. You will not find much success or fulfillment in life in general, because you don’t accept very simple truths about the world around you. You will not successfully interact with other people. You will blame others for poor communication when it is actually you who are a poor listener. You’ll lose jobs over this. You’ll lose friends if you ever happen to make any. Most things won’t go your way.

And you’ll consistently fail to understand why.

I hope I’m wrong though. I don’t benefit from any of this being true, so I hope it’s not.

Me neither. I hate training and eating well.

Thankfully, you don’t have to like it at all for it to work.

The reasoning is astounding. I don’t workout correctly or eat properly, so if i do the same routine as somebody who DOES workout correctly and eat properly, I won’t see the same gains, but it’s not because I’m not working out correctly or eating properly, it’s because I have undiagnosed hypothyroidism, but it’s worse than the guy with actual diagnosed hypothyroidism who built muscle and got lean.

Not only that, but when comparing a photo of myself to another man, I look different!

You know how these things called evidence and proof work right?

You love eating? You weigh 150lb.

You love training? You gave up after very little effort was made.

i was eating 3200 kcal. that is enough. nobody needs more on that weight. when i was at 172 lb. Yes, because nothing changed. If I’ve had seen any gains I’d have continued it.
