Thanks for sending. I’m pretty jealous of your sleep.
Please do start with goals: what do you want most?
This is a start, but it’s still just kind of a grocery list. We need to know what you’re eating/ lifting (quantity, sets and reps, etc) to be helpful. Also how consistently.
I suspect you probably don’t really have something set, which is great - that’s low-hanging fruit. Once you pick a goal, we’ll be able to pretty easily say “start doing this, every day, for 6 weeks” and then we’ll see where you’re trending.
Goal is to buff up my upper body. Legs are already doing fine, upper body is just skinny… there is some muscle and I can lift a lot once.
But at lower weights, the volume is not really impressive.
About food - I eat more even than people who are a lot bigger than me.
But I suppose my metabolism is fast as I gotta go to toilet almost after every meal and I eat 5-8 times a day.
I mostly eat meats, some fruits and candy. I ocassionally toss in vitamin/mineral supplement too.
I never eat salads as they give me issues every time I do.
I’m not following any diet plan so far. I just eat whatever I feel like.
If you are skinny, “whatever you feel like” is going to be precisely enough to keep you skinny.
I have heard this so, so many times. I said it myself when I was a teenager.
I’m not saying you’re lying, I’m just saying you’re wrong. There are, of course, rare medical instances where you could be right, but I’ll just assume you’re like every other skinny person that has a hard time gaining weight.
If you eat more, you will grow, but it will take eating an uncomfortable amount of food.
It’s also quite telling that you included candy as one of your three major food groups.
You’re correct, I generally get to the gym 3x a week. I’ve probably made it to the gym 4x in a week… Maybe 10 times in the past 5 years. It’s rare.
As to the original post: I doubt you have low T, nothing you’ve said would really make me think thats the case. But of course it is possible. Only way to know is blood work.
Your bench press doesn’t suck for your bodyweight. I kinda think this is less of an issue of not being able to gain size on your upper body, and more of an issue of not eating enough. At your bodyweight, and with your goals, you CANT just eat whenever you feel like it. This has been a hurdle for me since I started lifting. You’ve got to really push that.
Seriously if you want to gain muscle you are going to need a proper training program that you stick too no matter what and a focused diet that contains more than just some meat and candy.
