OP, this is now 5 pages of people (both experienced and novice) giving you fucking sage advice, print this out, practice what the big guys say. And LOL at you getting fat because of Xs advice. That just seems like being lazy. You keep talking about how smart you are, well, getting big and strong and lean is not a very tough thing to do- its just lots of work, you can’t think your way into bigger muscles so at age 19 just lift heavy and eat big.
Lock thread please.
This is just ridiculous. Such stupidity is almost physically painful. OP has all the advice he needs for the next 3 years, now he needs to actually read/do it instead of continuing to post his opinions.

It’s like this, why go to the store for milk when you can have sex with the cow? No wait, that’s not it… If you found a cow that milked 12 year old Laphroaig, would you ditch it just because there might be a cow out there that milks 16 year old Laphroaig? Hell no! You’d milk it for all it was worth and if it eventually runs dry you’ll have sex with it one last time before shooting it and… Erm, the point is, if you get drunk on Laphroaig, don’t have sex with a cow…
Oh wtf, just shut up and train.[/quote]
LOL!
Man you’re over-thinking this shit like a lot of other people on this site. I’m 5’10 with a 6’6 wingspan and my arms are my best and most often commented on bodypart and I’m not lacking in any other areas because of having long arms, so throw that nonsense out the window.
You seem like one of those people that needs to be told exactly what to do to get the results you’re looking for because it doesn’t seem like you’re doing a good job figuring it out on your own. It’s really not that hard. Find a balance of frequency and volume that you can progress with and start increasing your strength on key exercises eating 1.5g/lb or so of protein and enough total calories to gain size but not get fat (read up on carb cycling, it works). Bust your ass in the gym and the kitchen. If you want big arms relative to everything else or to bring them up fast train them with a bit more frequency and volume. It’s almost fool proof. How are people not getting this?
FTR I started out at 125lbs and am currently hovering around 205lbs with abs and am continuing to gain muscle and strength without losing definition. A lot of people like to pull the genetics card as to why I can do this (or they can’t do that) but people don’t realize how calculating and meticulous I am about my diet and how hard I work in the gym. My male clients that do what I say to a T in the gym and kitchen are experiencing similar results, so there must be something to it other than genetics.
Actually, fuck what I said about “finding the right frequency and volume…” Find a good pre-made program and do it. That other stuff will come later once you understand your body more. Don’t try to write your own routine right now.

Yes, you seem to have pissed him off. Seriously though, you want to gain size and X is one of the people who have been most successful at that on this site. He can probably help you but you went and pissed him off instead, doesn’t seem like a very clever move.[/quote]
It’s not that. It’s the recycled information. See food. See food. Eat, etc.
Try being fat AND weak for 18 years. Not just weak, or not just fat. But both. What some people don’t understand is where we want to go and where we have been. The thought of getting fat to me again is just something that I shouldn’t have to go through again. I lost some good childhood years, ton of confidence, where’s the good in being fat?
One guy I’m talking to who I can say without a doubt( I haven’t checked any of Prof’s X pics) is much more credible, much more proficient and says stuff that rival that of Prof’s X’s. People here hold him in a high regard, and that’s great, but there are people better. So when you magnify & compare, Prof. X doesn’t hold a candle to them.[/quote]
I think you have just about worn out any welcome you have had on these boards.
You are not cut out for bodybuilding. Those who ARE cut out for this would not make endless internet threads about how they can’t gain, and argue with those who are experienced. This is YOUR body, and YOU are accountable for it. No matter what anyone here tells you it is up to YOU to figure this game out and find out what works for you. You take the advice you are given, take the cards you have been dealt, MAN THE FUCK UP and make shit happen.
What you fail to see is that people like X figured this out with half of your talk and twice the drive. This sport is about HARD WORK first and foremost. And if you are not making progress… guess what… you fucked up. If after busting your ass you are still piss ass weak and look like shit, you didn’t work hard enough.
It is your responsibility to figure out what next to do and how to fix it, and I doubt anyone here cares what you think anymore because I sure as hell don’t.

Man, you sauted his ass.
OP - squats and milk
My motto is gotta lift big and eat big to get big
Here is a Plan:
- Drink 2-4 cans of Red Bull 10 minutes before you start working out.
- Listen to insanely loud music in your car on the way to the gym
- Get some quality headphones and download some Metallica, Eminem, or some other music that gets you crazy pumped up.
- Once you have put on your headphones that is when the switch has turned. You feel the adrenline flow through your body.
- leaNbig you are now unstoppable.
- At this point you no longer make eye contact with anyone in the gym because you are focused on domination.
- Create a muse, i.e. anyone who told you that you can’t accomplish something, and now its time to prove them wrong.
- Use any sets or reps as long as it is heavy. Volume is good and compound movements are better(squats, deads, bench)
- Do this consistenly for 3 months and come back and tell us who the man is.
If you haven’t popped any blood vessels in your eyes or seen stars/briefly blacked out after a heavy squat day you haven’t followed the steps above.
I didn’t know it was possible for a full grown man to have a 40" chest, not to mention a WEIGHTLIFTING full grown man.

Depends… Do you consider lifting stones in a concentration camp to be weightlifting?

“Drinking 2-4 cans of Red Bull 10 minutes before you start working out” should fix that though…

Size 40 jacket is the standard for male models and therefore viewed as ideal for the fashion and advertising world. I think this is one reason male models rarely ever have back development - have some pecs without getting too large. I think 6’0" is the average height for male models.
This is why we keep reading about guys with 44+ chest having difficulty buying suits. There is the assumption if you chest is big it is because your fat. Though given obesity rates, not a bad assumption.
