No actually I’m not.
I’m an Indian and my English is a not so silky I can sound angry but tbh I’m an obedient 22 year old kid
please be sure to link to the training & food log. pics would be great.
“BUT We HATES It!”
Here’s a novel idea: instead of just outright demanding people help you, try and tackle some of the issues yourself through trial-and-error. In layman’s terms: go to the gym, squat/bench/deadlift, eat tons of nutritious food, and return a year from now. I guarantee you won’t be asking how to “shape your pecs.” Shaping your pecs should not be of concern to you. Getting LARGER is what you should focus on.
Lastly, for a guy that insults other people (i.e. keeping an eye on me like a jobless guy), you surely have A LOT of time on your hands. Do you work? Do you do your own training research? Or are you just looking to be spoon-fed?
Reads everything, comprehends and implements nothing.
I agree with this. I can only see whats in the OPs avatar but OP appears to have a decent lean physique. 190lbs at 6’2" though. Need to add about 20 lbs minimum to start looking swole.
No you dont
Could it be “paralysis by analysis”?
@Navv might be searching for the holy grail before putting the foundational work into putting on muscle. A type of perfectionist?
That’s why I am here. To understand and have a long term plan for my physic goals.
I like living vicariously through young guys like you. I wish I knew at 22 what I know now. I see a lot of questions about training but the biggest thing you can do to improve physique is work on your nutrition. Your metabolism and hormones are primed now as in the best they are ever going to be.
Every long term plan must be comprised of multiple short term plans. I solid strength foundation is the most important, IMO.
How many reps can you?:
- Squat with 2 times your body weight
- Bench Press with 1.5 times your body weight
- Deadlift with 2 times your body weight
You are young and not overweight. How many strict pullups can you do?
Agreed 100% i can loose weight and gain weight very quickly. Recently I had big problem with my asthma and i lost 22 pounds in 2 months. I’m an Ecto-meso.
As you’ve said that you wish you knew some things earlier that you know now.
Look at me like a little brother and tell me some things that you’ve learned i can focus on to get big!
I’d appreciate it.
When I was at 88kgs,
I can bench around 135kg PR
Squat 160kg PR
Deadlift 240kg
I know my squat is a Lil weak because I have long legs and i do hack squats more often.
I literally just told you what to do. Squat, bench, deadlift. Eat a lot. Simple as that.
Stop analyzing, start practicing.
^The same thing that has been said in 6 other threads.
And before asking if HIT is right for you - Search the Darden forum for basic HIT routines and/or simple advice. Maybe try a routine at least once - and then return here with any questions.
If you like strict/controlled/slower reps, prolonged sets up to 90 secs, supersets, short rest periods and few sets per musclegroup - You may like HIT! But, few HIT people train more often than 3 times a week.
As many may already have said, I recommend you choose a direction/program to follow for at least a month to evaluate. In my opinion, results from training rely upon sticking to a routine over time - to be able to measure your progress.
I do those stuff but let me tell you, i got long arms which need direct work 2× week to have some growth. So i do 2 arm sessions in a week and then I maintain my 17 inch arms
Strong means you can get 10 reps with these.
Decent strength gets 5 reps.
Getting only a single rep is considered not gym strong at all. But definitely strong for an average person. I doubt that is your goal.
You can barely get a single with 1.5 times your body weight. That must go up significantly
What do you want me to say? That is extremely unacceptable. Learn to squat and quit using long legs as an excuse for substandard performance. I have long legs. Figure it out!
This is good solid strength. Using percentages you are capable of 192kg for 10 reps, which is nearly 2.2 times your body weight.
Good luck. Get stronger.
I give up. I am bowing out. Good luck.
If you’re 22 why are you describing yourself as a kid?
