Congratulations!!!
You are close to ready to do an Abercromie ad! There’s nothing else to do now.
Decrease your calories for the ripped look.
Seriously:
You need to eat something over and over. Eat as much as you can over and over…
You need to deadlift
You need to squat
Military
Bench
and do it heavy.
Many of you may hold no association to this…
TIM!!!

Not sure what a SLOBE is…but I can see the abs just fine. What makes you think I’m fat mr 1 post?
I gave him serious advice after a joke. If he can’t laugh at himself like I can and do, then he does NOT belong here.
Goodbye.
Now…if you wish to further this discussion, then take it out of this thread bad ass. I have put hours and hours of advice on this forum helping nice kids, men and even e- punks, and I specialize in dealing with jerk offs like you come off as.
Hey Scar,
You changed your avatar. What are those bumps and ripples on your belly?
ABS!!!
your 5’9 and 149, that says it all, im giving you a 1 because you dont really look any differnt from any other active skinny guy. try eating something besides cherios, and ill assume your lifts are pretty damn shitty for 2 years of work as well…

Pure T-Nation here
OP don’t get discouraged. Use this as a gut check. Building mass is a simple yet hard to implement equation.
2 things
a. Eat big (More than twice what you normally eat)
b. Lift heavy (Classic Compounds and some isolation too)
Thanks for the critiques everyone.
Any tips on gaining Mass other than what I’m doing?
Right now, I finally got to being pretty routine with taking 1-2 protein shakes a day with about 1-2 scoops per shake of BNC True-Mass. I eat about three meals a day, generally ‘normal’ sized portions. Pre-workout I’ve started using NOxplode, and post with Cell -Mass, is this a smart move?
I take 1-2 multivitamins a day, I generally take in a lot of coffee and have 3-4 fish oils a day.
I just decided to start adding green tea extract pills to the mix and creatine pills on off days when I’m not taking Cell-Mass.
I generally stick to low-fat things, like skim milk, etc, just worried about getting mass the wrong way sometimes. I hear people say eat healthy and often, some people say just eat whatever.
Thanks again for the words of advice.
less multivitamins and more fish oil
and eat more food… if ur not gaining weight ur not eating enough food… gradually add more and more food until u start gaining weight without adding a ton of fat
u look very skinny right now
give a run down of the label on cell mass… total carbs… fiber and sugar… fat, protein and also the type of protein and the order in which they appear on the label
I am against flaming and dont believe in being a dick to get a point across. Therefore, Im going to say you shouldnt even have posted your pic here.
You obviously havent done much lifting or research on this website. Go to the beginner section and read, then post some pix when you have notable size on you.
Being lean is great and I congratulate you on your leanness. But this is T-Nation and this is Rate My Physique, Physique meaning the form size and DEVELOPMENT of ones body…Go do some developing and then post.

Dick-iness level 3 out of 5. Nice job!
OP:
Here is the best I can do for you regarding putting on some mass and the mental and physical aspects of it.

Yes I’m a Dick…and proud of it!!!
Thanks scar,
I read your post and in a lot of ways, I’m in a similar situation, I turned to exercise as a means of trying to get out of bad habits and since about August I’ve wanted to turn that into development, but as much as strength increases, my mass doesn’t, so thanks for linking me to your article; great read.
you’re lean yes, but you need serious mass.
Here’s a hint. If your legs can fit into those ‘1969 Gap’ jeans, you got a problem.
oh and show the wheels.

NO explode is a waste of money:

Use the money to buy your fourth and fifth meals instead.

Try to consume whole food meals whenever possible, except for pre- and post-workout. Use shakes only when no other decent source of food/protein is available.[quote]

No, see the link posted above. At this stage, I wouldn’t invest in fancy supplements, just the basics, e.g. fish oil, protein powder, possibly creatine, BCAAs and something like Biotest’s “Superfood” if you have the extra money.

I love coffee as well, but try to limit it to 2 cups a day, 3 at the most. Coffee is not the devil and even has some positive properties, overdoing it will most definitely have negative effects on your physique goals.
See above. If you choose to take creatine, simple creatine monohydrate is sufficient (and most cost efficient). They sell the stuff here.

No need to avoid fat. There is a lot of information on the issue on this site. Apart from that, some of the low fat products contain high sugar to compensate in the taste category. Watch your sugars and starches as well as - of course - overall calories instead if you’re concerned with keeping bodyfat in check.
LOL, loved the milk/estrogen hijack! 
To the OP, it is definitely time for you to gain size. Look up “Massive Eating Reloaded” and keep an online food log like FitDay.com to make sure you don’t take in too much calories and get excess fat gains as a result.

That’s not a full body shot. What happened to your legs? Anyway, you should eat some more, maybe you need more protein and if you’re genetically inclined, you might add some mass.
