instead of spamming the fitness initiative thread i thought it probably better to write most of my entries here.

IF YOU ARE SKINNY AND TALL, HAVE ENDLESS STICK-LIKE LIMBS AND RIBS THAT STICK OUT AND A FLAT CHEST, THEN MAYBE YOU WILL BE INTERESTED IN FOLLOWING MY BLOG AND COPYING ME!!!!!!

6-12 months ago i was

188cm (6'2'' )
69kg (152 lbs)

i had been working out my biceps and triceps a bit in my home gym, not eating anything, and drinking excessively as always (to the point of developing a terrible anxiety disorder that still remains).

my physical appearance is that of a 6'2'' artosis (more ugly and probably more acne tho). i'm now 76kg.

since coming to university 4 weeks ago and having a local gym, i have started training on a modified Starting Strength program. a week or two ago i realised how important diet is, and am now aiming to consume ~3500+ calories a day (mostly milk - 5.5 litres yesterday).

i am going to transform my body (i dont mean making myself become lactose intolerant)

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD....skiny lanky guys....maybe we have shitty genetics and feel sorry for ourselves and wonder if we truely ever can be buff..... look at it this way:

it might take a lot longer for us to "fill up" because we are boney and tall. but our POTENTIAL is AWESOME...because we are TALL!!!! our metre long wrists might take 3x as long to bulk up compared to a small guy, but we will look damn more bigger and more impressive when we FINALLY DO.

i think probably the key thing i want to say here is that, after a shitload of ineffective and effective research, i now have a precise formula/routine that will DEFINATELY make me look awesome and big and no longer skinny. its ONLY a matter of time now.

i think maybe the biggest drawback to improving your physical appearance is:

1. knowledge - knowing that VERY SIMPLE magic formula.
2. facilities - im lucky coz i have a gym 5 minutes away
3. money - to buy milk and pay the rent

IF YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND THINK YOU LOOK LIKE A WEEDY BOY WHO WOMEN PROBABLY LAUGH AT IF YOU TOOK YOUR TOP OFF...AND YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE A MATURE AND MANLY MAN...THEN JOIN MY CRUSADE!!!!!!! THE DAYS ARE COUNTING UNTIL I HAVE GONE FROM SKINNY TO BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

probably your intake....APPARENTLY (all websites) we require 2800 kcal/day to MAINTAIN our current bodyweight. you need 3500 to increase your bodyweight (slowly). unless you start adhearing to this you will NEVER EVER get bigger.

why isnt 3500kcal difficult?

COZ A BOTTLE (2LITRES) OF (WHOLE) MILK CONTAINS 1200 KCAL

WOW

now you have your 2 bottles of milk, next to your computer or wtvr. sip, sip, sip, sip.

OH WHATS THAT? TIME FOR BED AND I HAVENT HAD ENOUGH CALORIES TODAY??

just down some more milk...NO PROBLEM!!!!

(actually it is a problem and you feel full up all the time but wtvr, soon you'll start "number chasing" your bottles of milk anyway (if you've ever played an MMO or RPG you'll know what i mean))

i might not be right in saying this but...

NO MAN !!!!! dont cut the weight. you can utilise that energy in your workouts. when people train muscles they EAT LIKE A PIG to provide their body with energy (like i'm having to). YOU already have this AWESOME advantage!!! FAT PEOPLE ARE GREAT!!!! just get to the gym!!!!! (only thing u have to do is make sure ur eating protein). once you're muscular you can think about cutting weight - overwise you're gonna kick yourself in the future for wasting time!!!

i could only buy skimmed milk (950 kcal) today (shops here are retarded)

on the carton it says 1.5g fat /100ml = 30g / 2 litres. i dont think thats very much

and who gives a FUCK ?? do u wanna get big or not?? you can worry about your fat% a year or two down the line. (or you can get a fucking job so you dont have to drink milk all the time)

Probably somewhere. Now i have to go searching.

Edit: found a couple pictures. These weren't really ever meant to be compared, and they aren't the same camera angle. But the obvious difference from Skinny nerd -> Normal bodyweight is wierd to look at.

Before: Sometime around Sophomore/Junior year, age 16 or maybe 17.

After: Age 22.

Thats a disgusting amount of milk, wow. I'm more concerned about the excessive amounts of calcium than anything else.

I'm currently on about 1500-2000 calories a day on a cut diet as summer is a month away. But towards the end of summer I am upping my calories to 3500-4000 in real food with some protein supplements to bulk. Never have I looked so forward to eating so much food. ^_^

I'm also tall and skinny. I began starting strength as well in june, and kept at it for a couple of months including diet, milk, etc. I was really making noticeable gains and was enjoying it immensely.

Unfortunately I got really busy when the uni semester started and haven't been working out for a couple of months. Lost a couple pounds, and don't look as big now. Need to get back on it!

Good luck btw, it's hard work

I don't really get why you posted here instead of the fitness thread which is meant for things like this... anyway i'm gonna steal a quote from energies.


When setting a goal for weight loss or weight gain, it is crucial that you give your self an arbitrary deadline this will increase your motivation 10 fold. Upcoming real life events are also very helpful in motivating you.

Do you have a trip coming up? Visiting friends you haven't seen in a long time? I found that setting two major deadlines for myself, one was my trip to Thailand the other my European trip really put my butt into gear, I was visiting the gym every single day the week before my flight to Europe.


and WHY are you talking like THIS??!!! YOU DON'T NEED TO!

btw i wish i was taller

milk is an amazing mass builder for beginning bodybuilders, mostly since it's an excellent source of protein and is cheap

hrm well i dont really know how to set a goal like that. im going on holiday in 4 weeks so kinda want to be 78kg if possible (that would be something to brag about LOL)

other than that..... i suppose a clear goal would be like "can do a single chin-up"

maybe after a few months ill have a better picture of what i might be capable of. i could make a set time limit like "reach 210lbs in X months" but it would have no reaslistic basis.

my best goal i suppose would be "3500kcal/day" and "gym every 2-3 days increasing weights asap" :/

lol just wait until the OP learns he can add protein powders to his milk to get EVEN MORE calories and protein!!!

and ya i dont really like the idea of getting most of your calorie intake from a single liquid source. It just feels wrong. Eat a balanced diet. Besides dooesn't high calcium intake like that result in kidney stones??

How the fuck can one blame his genetics for making him a tall male without any obesity issues? I'm the exact same size as stated in the OP (187cms / 70kgs) and I'm really happy about that. I might workout one day but it's very near the bottom of my priority list and I don't believe in any way that doing so could change my life.

This actually kinds of reminds me of the penis enlargement thread with the already 17cm+ long (and quite large as well iirc) guy getting enlarged because he believed his gfs wouldn't cheat on him anymore after that LOL. Don't mistaken me though, working out is very good, it just that I can't relate at all to both the frustrations and the hopes in this thread, despite belonging to the target audience.

i'm kinda the reflection of the op - tall but thick. 6'2'', walk around about 220 (around 100kg), not fat, but definitely not athletic. I think being naturally tall lets me get away with all my shit habits - not playing sports any more, my love of all things food, smoking, drinking (alot). good luck op, i'd be slightly dubious about milk being a wonder drink, but keep your diet in check, keep hitting the gym, add much patience/willpower to keep the routine going and should be okay.

Eat more real food, less milk IMO.

Limit yourself to a gallon of whole milk. ~2000kcal from the milk +1500-2000kcal from real food works real well.

Although I believe milk is the cheapest thing per amount of calories you get which I guess if you're shorting on money and trying to bulk up it's cool.

How are your lifts coming along?

er...pix or it didnt happen? probably you're built differently somehow. i made sure i was pretty clear when i described "endless sticklike knobbly arms and wrists, completely flat chest" etc etc. or maybe you're right and a combination of things make (me) worry more about my body (such as having an ugly ass face for instance). shrug

i dont think most girls care about penis size, but buffing up your body is definately a massively valid improvement , not to mention a respectful thing to do. i wouldnt like it if my girlfriend was fat and saggy - we're human beings and should acknowledge and respect that we get pleasure out of "animal" and "less intelligent" things like making ourselves look good.

Although I believe milk is the cheapest thing per amount of calories you get which I guess if you're shorting on money and trying to bulk up it's cool.

How are your lifts coming along?


i just paid my rent so will consider this now, although i need money for a recent holiday.

i tried to browse BB.com on my phone (dont do this if your phone is dialup LOL) and managed to find a thread where someone provided links saying that MILK calcium does NOT lead to kidney stones. will look again

my recorded lifts are below in kg.
ive been gonig every 2-3 days . if ive fucked up reps/form or just gotten too tired to complete reps (which led me to reduce/split deadlifts) then i might have kept the same weight over 2 sessions (and it wont be shown below). i keep the weight so heavy that i cant possibly do more than 3x5 and will probably injure myself sometime (HAHA)

squat (3x5)
smith 40 -> 45 -> 47.5
-> no smith 50

bpress (3x5)
smith 32.5 -> 45 -> 47.5 -> 50
-> no smith 45

deadlift (3x5 or ~1x5)
50 -> 60 -> 65 -> 60

standing press (3x5)
25

some form of bb row that im STILL trying to get to grips with
20 -> 25

Lol I'm 5'10", 60kg (i.e. skinny like you described in the OP) and can do 20+ chinups. They're easier when you're light so gaining weight ain't going to help you there..

Haha I was just like you first year of Uni. All those chicks and my skinny body with a gym 30 seconds away from residence... Why not?

I went to the gym... a lot. I set a goal of 15 pounds of PURE MUSCLE. I got physically stronger, I could tell... and my arms were bigger but I was still a skinny ass tall kid. Second year now and I don't even care anymore. Only been to the gym once this semester.

Good luck OP, may you have better luck than I.

I've been tall and slim for the past 5 years. At my high school graduation I was 6'2", 185 pounds. In my first few months of college, I put on 30 pounds (!). I guess going on sheer numbers this is very significant, but it actually wasn't very visible unless my shirt was off. The fat was distributed fairly evenly among my larger frame. At the start of the semester, 2 months ago, I was back down to 200 pounds and standing at 6'4". I adopted a fairly regular workout routine but, like you, I wasn't eating very well. Lost about 10 pounds. Started taking in many more calories a few weeks ago, and I've since noticed I am getting a bit more muscle definition. I don't plan on changing drastically, but if I can put those 10 pounds back on (as muscle this time), I'll be happy.

Damn you guys are skinny. I suppose 185-190 pounds doesn't qualify even as "slim" in comparison, but this is how people always refer to me. I suppose it's technically an average weight- maybe there's something about my frame/clothes that makes me look slimmer than I am? Maybe I hang out with fat people? lol

How the fuck can one blame his genetics for making him a tall male without any obesity issues? I'm the exact same size as stated in the OP (187cms / 70kgs) and I'm really happy about that. I might workout one day but it's very near the bottom of my priority list and I don't believe in any way that doing so could change my life.

This actually kinds of reminds me of the penis enlargement thread with the already 17cm+ long (and quite large as well iirc) guy getting enlarged because he believed his gfs wouldn't cheat on him anymore after that LOL. Don't mistaken me though, working out is very good, it just that I can't relate at all to both the frustrations and the hopes in this thread, despite belonging to the target audience.


er...pix or it didnt happen? probably you're built differently somehow. i made sure i was pretty clear when i described "endless sticklike knobbly arms and wrists, completely flat chest" etc etc. or maybe you're right and a combination of things make (me) worry more about my body (such as having an ugly ass face for instance). shrug

i dont think most girls care about penis size, but buffing up your body is definately a massively valid improvement , not to mention a respectful thing to do. i wouldnt like it if my girlfriend was fat and saggy - we're human beings and should acknowledge and respect that we get pleasure out of "animal" and "less intelligent" things like making ourselves look good.

I don't look buff at all but of course it would be definitely better if it was the case, there's no arguing about it.

The point is that I don't believe that just getting buffed up is the single key to success, other things like buying clothes that look good and match your morphology, taking care of your skin, getting your teeth whitened / straightened, or even getting some surgery (like a penis enlargment LOL... or maybe not), and all the other stuff I forget to mention here add up to a greater total imo than how buffed up you are. They also require much less time everyday and won't vanish after a few months like a buffed up body will if you stop working out for some reason. (Btw, I'm not advocating anyone to get surgery or anything, I never took one myself, I'm just listing it as one of the multiple means to look better.)

This isn't a negative comment towards working out at all, like I said I might very well do it someday and it's definitely better to be buff. The main point is that if your goal is to look better overall then you should definitely keep working out but also start paying attention to the others factors because they matter at least as much as being buff. I mean just look at the pictures of the guy in the previous page, we don't even see his chest or whatever but he looks much better because his hair is better and his beard makes him look manlier and his head posture makes him look more confident and so on. (And also because the first picture is terrible anyway).

Woo, I'm on my way of becoming heavier too. I once had muscles, now I want them back!

Started eating a lot more, and training every other day. Even though it's only like two weeks, there's lots of improvements.

Keep up the good work, OP, just don't exaggerate with milk, eat something normal too.

if you're going to do starting strength dont modify it man just do it, there's no reason to change something that works based on your limited knowledge. Keep your schedule regular, go mon/wed/fri or tues/thurs/sat or whatever just dont mess around with the days. Oh and also NEVER USE THE SMITH MACHINE. i cannot stress enough how much this will fuck you up, when i started lifting for the first 5-6 months i was using the smith, and when i switched over to Starting Strength it took me like 2 months to correct my bench press technique because of all the bad habits i had picked up from the smith. Starting strength is a great program and if you follow it well you're gonna have success, I've made great gains on it in strength and in size so keep it up and GL

it might take a lot longer for us to "fill up" because we are boney and tall. but our POTENTIAL is AWESOME...because we are TALL!!!! our metre long wrists might take 3x as long to bulk up compared to a small guy, but we will look damn more bigger and more impressive when we FINALLY DO.


uhhh...what if we are 5' 5'' and weigh 120 pounds meaning we are skinny and lanky but NOT tall....

...am I a lost cause?

also @ OP:

consuming that much whole milk, you might wanna go to your doctor and get your baseline lipids and cholesterol checked and then just follow up every 6 months.

Better to eat a bunch of low fat meat (skinless chicken, grilled lean beef, etc) imo.

Just eat a lot and lift weights.

Fucking shovel calories down your throat and do compound lifts.

Look up a proper bulking diet on a forum such as:

It's that easy.

take it slow dude. as long as you gradually increase your caloric intake per week and hit the gym (with an appropriate program in mind) on a consistent basis you will gain weight in the long run.

suddenly adding 5.5 liters of milk/day to your diet will have you puking your guts out one day and giving up.
