It's da best. I wasn't feeling it today but I got in at 6 anyways. Want to know what one of the worse things to realize after a workout? You forgot a towel. I started my "I'm actually gonna stop being a stick" program seriously around last September so there's been a ton of beginner gainz made. I'm also not nearly at 2x BW, weight currently fluctuating around 133 and squatting 215x5 with good speed and 225x5 somewhat clumsily. Also had to drop my deadlift down to 195 because I'm doing it improperly and leading with my lower back = I'm would end up breaking myself soon. I've pretty much also capped out my beginner gains because I no longer have the energy (diet issue?) to do multiple heavy compound exercises per day or to just casually dump on an extra 10 lbs each week (a workout program issue?). Trying to eat more is probably the most difficult part, because the default state for me is to not eat. If I don't really think about it then I'll consume 1500 Cal. If I'm in a bad mood or w/e, instead of eating to feel good my default behavior is also to not eat. For most of my life you could see my ribcage through my skin and feel the vertebrae jut against my lower back. So just as some people who grew up with different genetics and eating habits want to lose weight for health reasons before getting gainz for aesthetic I'm mostly trying to bulk up so stuff like pushing a lawnmower, carrying bags of rice from my car to my pantry, or holding my carry-on luggage over my head for 3+ minutes while waiting for incompetent people to realize that their baggage really truly doesn't fit isn't a chore. The aesthetic aspects are sort of a bonus motivator. | ||

That's not exactly going to give me gains (my arms are stronger than before though, shows how weak I am). I've been Xes-class in terms of body shape for a number of years though, according to his description. | ||

From what I've read, people with naturally skinny bodies can gain mass pretty quickly with enough eating and proper lifting.

For me the biggest motivators weren't the actual body weight or circumference measurements because those are slow and fluctuate but basically watching 3 rep-maxes go up (and like ELO, only counting the peaks of the fluctuations in those), as well as logging workout times, because my brain is wired to love looking at numbers and watching numbers get bigger. Around Nov of last year, in addition to being MMORPG levels of spreadsheeting my workouts, I started to ease into nutrition tracking, initially just doing total Calorie intake, but now I'm using my natural tending to gamer addiction spreadsheeting to do some macro tracking as well. As of now, I've gotten enough habituation (fake it until you make it!) in that if I don't go to the gym for a few days due to traveling I get jumpy and really look forward to it, so I'm probably set in terms of motivation until some series of events prevents me from going to a gym for a good 2 weeks straight and kills all of the habit building. This also is probably the 4th or 5th time since high school when I've seriously tried to increase strength/core stability and the only moderately successful attempt. It probably helps that I live in a cold, desolate shithole where there is literally nothing else to do besides go to the gym or play video games. | ||

It probably helps that I live in a cold, desolate shithole where there is literally nothing else to do besides go to the gym or play video games. There are multiple body types, Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph. From what I read Ectomorph is the typical "small skinny" guy body type which finds it difficult to gain weight. Mesomorph is the slightly larger frame more common to athletics that is rather easy to gain weight on. There's a whole bunch of other science involved but that seems to be the short of it. Anyway I'm glad you doing so well. Just found it a little disingenuous to say you're "skinny" yet able to do to exercise as that level, other skinny people may see that and think they should be squating that much after such a short time frame which isn't really the norm. Then people lose motivation when they see they aren't progressing at that fast a pace. edit: Oops I left off Endomorph, that's your typical "large" guy build that finds it hard to lose fat but gains easily both muscle and fat. | ||

Surely you must think that Creator Viktor is the best skin, no? In this case Prototype Viktor is also an acceptable answer. Edit: And there was no reason for me to make donations to Wave's stream.

I have nothing against Creator Viktor, just that I wasn't willing to spend extra money on another skin when I already have Mech. I'm not a fan of Prototype. And I mean, I won't stop you if you really want to lol. It just isn't necessary. | ||

It's just that I haven't met one person who was like "Eh, Creator Viktor is okay, but I like ________ Viktor skin a whole lot more". Most people like Creator Viktor like how this sub-forum likes Wave. I'd still like to add you on League though, because I think you're a cool dude and everything. Is your League Tag just "Soniv"? Assuming that'd you be okay with having me on your friends list of course. | ||

No one likes anything like we like Wave. + Show Spoiler + Not because we really like him, just because we have a unique and juicy relationship with him. + Show Spoiler + It's complicated. | ||

Ah yea I wouldn't say I'm skinny anymore, but it's also taken me nearly a year to get to this point*, after trying and failing multiple times before. Hoping that can get other people motivated as well, and maybe find their own way to fake it (i.e. find alternative reward systems to keep them on the program, e.g. for me it was diversion of love for spreadsheeting and tracking stats MMORPG style) until they make it (no longer need the external reward system). | ||
