I was eating 3.2k calories.
225g of proteins. Rest in fats and carbs
My motivation to workout is to get rid of the hourglass shape
Seems a lot to me, i cant be sure , but you have to use this âbiofeedbackâ and if you just told us you got nothing but fat you probably doing something wrong and eating more than you should
How was your diet before?
You didnt make a huge jump in calories ?
example: 2500 calories on cutting then 3.2k to bulking⊠You got to build your metabolism and gradually raise those calories.
I have nothing against old fashinoed bulking but you have to eat what you need and nothing moreâŠUnless you are very new to training, seeking to gain weight, mainly weekly, sounds bad TO MEâŠ
If I stand pigeon toed and wrap my shirt over my jeans like a woman, Iâd have child birthing hips too.
Stop being a lil bitch. Grow (a pair) some Lats and shoulders and youâll look huge. Wider hips, narrow waste and wide shoulders give the illusion of being larger.

I wish I had wider hips. When I put size on my legs it bloody chafes! It was a rude shock when I went swimming at the beach and than a long walk. My fatter mates just laughed when they saw me waddlingâŠ
Regular fit tapered leg jeans and better fitting shirts. Then yeah workout and diet and stuff like everyone else said.
so your diet fucking sucks then. Change it.
I would go to the diet section of of TNation (not the forum, the actual website) and search for âThe Simple Dietâ. It literally will give you a list of foods and a good pattern of eating them. Eat exactly like it says for 3 months. It is really not hard, its a great article. Then check back.
My diet isnât the issue. I already have my diet and macros right.
If you did have your diet right, you wouldnât be gaining mostly fat like you said earlier.

Why is it you asked âwhat am I doing wrongâ and then when you are told what you are doing wrong you refute it?
Perhaps I donât understand the intent behind this thread.

That is just my suggestion to the original question you asked. I was built very similarly too you, doing the things that you are describing. The first step I took was essentially threw out everything i i thought i knew about nutrition and started over, and the place i started was with that article. Macros and calculations are (IMO) over thinking it for guys like you (and me), at least in the beginning.
So again, my advice being someone who was formally in a very similar situation: Learn how to eat real and healthy food all the time without counting it, and add that shit in later. It works.
My diet was right. I posted it in the nutrition section of bb.com a while
back and it was approved. The diet is not the issue
I think I mightâve worded that wrong. My question is more like, is there
something wrong with me if I cannot put on mass on a good diet and routine
Why not follow their advice then?
I believe you are operating off a poor premise, which is leading to a false conclusion.
Did you google the article I suggested? If so, did you have any questions about it?

Iâm actually a huge fan of this article. I had a friend follow this layout and he went from an hour glass figure to people asking him for tips on nutrition/workouts, in about 8 months. Nothing sexy about Wendlerâs methods, but it is hard to argue with the consistent results produced by it.

I remember reading it when I first came out and legitimately getting jealous of anyone that got to start out with it. I spent SO much time spinning my wheels, and Jim just comes out and lays out a 12 month plan that anyone can follow. Just such an awesome article. Really happy for your friend too; thatâs awesome.

He was more than skeptical when I set him out on this plan. âThere is no way Iâm going to see changes JUST doing thisâ; âThis seems too easyâ; âAre you sure I should be starting this lightâ; etc.
Now he is preaching to others to not over-complicate their training or nutrition. The best part of the article is that it gives you the tools for long-term success rather than a quick fix fad-diet or random âfunctionalâ exercise routine.

are you really so arrogant to think that your diet couldnât possibly be to blame?
If you got fat, what other mechanism could there possibly be that made you fat? Are there calories in the air you breathe? When you fall asleep, do gnomes sneak into your bedroom and give you caramel sundae enemas?
If you are getting fat then your diet is no good. This is an irrefutable truth.
So, tell me again how you got fat on your perfect diet?

Well, if itâs not your diet, then the only other reason is youâre training like a pussy since your training partner got twice your gainz doing the same thing bro!
âNo! I donât want to hear that! Itâs genetics! Fuck you guys! Imma wait till someone tells me what I want to hear!â
