Workout progress

Started working out just about 2 weeks ago. Been taking Super pump 250 before my workout ( Low doeses, just about 2 table spoons per 500ml of water)

I'm 17, 5'9'' and unusually, only 125 pounds( My metabolism is way above the normal rate, i'd say just about abnormal...What takes a normal person say 1 hour to burn 500 calories, it takes me like...5 minutes...)

Here's my current stature. ( LQ, phone pic)

i can't tell that you work out yet, so yeah. what are you expecting? i know what most posts will say

"eat some food."

"compounds"

"squats and milk"

good luck.

Well, compared to some of my friends that are like double my size, i eat just about as much, or even more than them :P

I try to eat as healthy, and as much as i can on a daily basis, including my weight gainer and whey proteins. Currently i'd say my calorie intake is an estimate of ~3k to 3.5k a day. It's been like that for as long as i can remember, but it doesn't seem to be affecting my weight.

eat even more then

I would suggest 4000-6000 and see if that gets the wheels turning.

What types of food that aren't putrid can get to me those amounts of calories? You said before" Milk is your best friend" I'm actualy a big fan of dairy and eat alot of cheese and drink alot of milk everyday ( I usualy take my shakes with 2 cups of milk 3.25%)

Try training for 6 months before you take any pictures or even weigh yourself for that matter. Focus on lift numbers.


I also think you're over-estimating the amount of calories you're eating massively. Actually sit down and work it out.

Yeah, you should be gaining at least a little with 3k. Trust me, eat more. Stuff your face with foods like Steaks, chickens, pasta, breads, milks, cheese, veg and fruits, oats, stuff like that. All that is perfectly fine food for you, and it will help you gain weight.

Don't worry dude you'll pack it on, im the same way, i was in highschool, 18 5'11, about 104lbs, got in the army 20 5'11 124lbs, stayed there for a bit started hitting the gym more seriously and eating more taking in good protien with whole milk, i got my weight up to 152, i benched about 225 for about 3 reps, was doing good, i took a small break for somethings fell out of it a bit, now im about 147lbs, i lose the weight easy and fast if i don't stay on it :/

if you just started working out, instead of pre-workout creatine(superpump) get a good whey protein

it ain't the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog


fight record:  
 10-2

yes sir need to eat...

DONT BLAME THE PITBULL TRAIN THE PITBULL .BAN THE DEED NOT THE BREED.... OH YES MY GRAMR AND SPELNG SUCK AZZ...I KNOW.. THERE ARE NO BAD DOGS.JUST BAD OWNERS...

What i usually do is take a small dose of Super pump 250, workout, then take my weight gainer ( It has whey protein isolate or something  according to the ingredients...) then i get home and have a scoop of whey protein.

@post below: like i said, i TRY to eat as much and as frequently as possible, i'm just oblivious to what amount of calories i should ingest daily, and how to reach it since i don't usually take care of my school lunches etc. Recently i have been paying attention to the amount i eat and what i eat, basically the opposite of a weight loss diet.

Don't ever go more than 5 hours without eating, except when you are asleep, you can eat more frequently however.  Get on a proper training program, like everyone else said, major compounds and heavy.  Stop being so careful, just eat more, if you are ever hungry you probably don't eat enough.  I'm guessing you are good about your diet then a couple days eat half of what you should.  When in doubt just eat more.  Weighing 125 you have nothing to lose.  Start eating lots of ground beef, chicken, potatoes, heavy foods, anything will work, throw down 1 gallon of whole milk a day to top it off and if you are doing that proper training program you will grow.

Oh, i forgot to mention, the scale i've been using at home is faulty and is off by 10. I weighed my self at the gym with those scales with the blocks that you manage your self and i was at about 135 or so.

minus 4lbs for clothes

Do as Virt said, don't look at the scale and takes pictures everyday; weigh yourself once every few months and same with picture progression, or else you'll just be disappointed and quit.

Try focusing on developing your compounds; for instance, if you're squatting 185 right now try to make your goal 275. That will force you to increase your calories and thus force you to build muscle. Develop your squat, deadlift, bench, row, press, chins, dips, glute ham raises, and you'll do fine.

Maybe do stronglifts 5 x 5 or smoundzou's routine for the time being. Starting strength is alright too, anything that has you doing less exercises and focusing on developing your compounds. After those routines, try something like Bill Starr's 5 x 5 or the Texas Method. Stick your horizontal/vertical pushes and pulls, squats, deads, and more importantly calories and you'll do fine.

Thanks for all the advice guys. It's my first week of training so my strength atm is still relatively weak in the bench pressing areas, and i have tried squats yet. Atm i can barely complete 4 sets of 10 flat bench presses with 20kg + bar...
