I am a skinny dude at around 103 pounds. So for now I'm planning to work out and such to get lean. If I had to really chose a person I'd want my body to look like, it would have to be someone such as Zyzz. I unno, its just something cool to see a bony fuck turning into a piece of art.

I've been working out about 3-4 times a week for about a month now and I do not see much of a change. Perhaps its my diet.

As regards to the skinny vs. bulky argument, one is not better than the other. The confidence given due to working your body to get it the size you want should be all that matters. Who cares if a chick hates lean or bulky guys? At that point, you should be happy with youself because you look more presentable than most other men.

Am I the only one that caught this? How tall are you player? I think we need to help you bulk up man.

I am about 5'8 tall. I've been doing pushups daily thanks to reading a little convict conditioning.

Here's a visual of me.



The questions I have are:
1. Should I really invest in a gym membership and use freeweights? Reading CC has kind of tailored my mind that possibly going to a gym is counter-productive. For the past couple of days, I've switched from doing curls at the campus gym, to doing pushups. Should I use both methods?

2. As for supplements, I found this protein powder lying around last day of school. (This) You think this would help? And are there anymore supplements I should get into? My football friends were talking about Creatine, but I don't know which one would be the best for me.

3. Food as well, what should I be eating? Beverage wise, I only drink water and sometimes green tea.

Bonus points for the person who figures out what game my hat is from and what character wears it.

Wow, not sure how I missed your post and picture.

Read "Starting Strength" and use the GOMAD diet.
I'd stick to that for ten to twelve weeks.

If you don't miss a meal or a weightlifting session you might put on thirty to fifty pounds. You'll look like a completely different person and people will think you're juicing. You must eat a lot of food and it will be difficult.

Once you put on some mass, you can go back to convict conditioning. You won't get brutal strong on calisthenics until you're at least 135-180 pounds.

GOMAD means "gallon of milk per day". It also means go insane.
Not sure if you're lactose intolerant or not, but make sure to eat lots of protein and fats anyway. Go to the store, buy a whole bag of red beans and minute rice, and boil up a cup of both and cram it down with a quart of whole milk. Eat like five or six eggs at a crack. That sort of thing.
When I was bulking I would also go to Chinese buffets once a week or more and eat for like an hour. I put on about twenty pounds in a month. Did I get fatter? Sure. But I also put on about fifteen pounds of muscle.

Agreed at 5'8" and 103 lbs, the last thing he should be doing is looking to get "lean".
