Trying to gain a few lbs in the next few months

[Ragingmenace223]

Well here I go to try again. I’m eating around 4000 cals a day roughly 260 pro 260 carbs and 140 fat. I’m 6 ft still 190 seem to be stuck here. Waist 31 arms 16 thighs 23.5 calves 15 forgot to measure my chest and shoulders. I will post an update about every two weeks to see if there is a change. I started March 5th and probably gained a lb or two but I fluctuate so much I don’t wanna pre maturely toot my horn any way this is pic from week one hope I can keep up the lb a week gain. Fingers crossed

I'm guessing you're one of the individuals who deposits all his fat in his calves (cause I don't see any anywhere else)

thank a lot guys..but we are never satisfied...and its weird when i pick up weight i start to feel like im getting fat i cant ever get my head right...well i guess ill c what this current stack will do for me. i know i should of waited for the gym to open but i was hoping if i started the gym would open back up about 4 weeks in and would be able to do serious damage but i still have enough weights at home to make it a good run....its just forever long supersets...

You say 16" arms? That can't be flexed. They look closer to 18".

thx for the confidence boost but i c pics on here all the time of how i wish i looked...just human nature...i want to be bigger and im sure there are bigger people out there that would want to be leaner

no flexed they are 17.5 ish ur pretty much right on i dont know how to measure shoulders but from widest points they are 23.5 inches and around my mid chest is 43.5 and 15 inch forearms...i know my measurements are small im just a cut guy not big at all but im working on it...i seemed to have gained a little over a lb in a week and a half so not exactly what i wanted but the scale has read 188 to 190 for so long im just happy its moving at all....

yeh i know i dont put all of my food in the app none of my drinks and i eat some snacks ut i always seem to be low on fiber potassium and iron...so i read white been have a lot of iron and potassium so im going to start eating them....i wonder if they still have the build your own protein powder site, can put whatever u want in there .....

im using a total gym with added resistance and a few dumb bells and a butterfly bar with a set of perfect push up grips...so here was my chest work out....
warm up.....totalgym siting flys 20 reps straight into sitting chest press 20 reps 20 sec rest.....
total gym laying flys 20 reps straight into laying down chest press 15-20 reps straight into pull overs close grip15-20 reps...20 sec rest and incline dumb bell flys 20 reps straight into dumbell presses 15 to 20 reps each...20 sec rest then weighted perfect push ups 20 reps... then i take about a min to a min and a half rest and then repeat the cycle 4 more times adding a little extra weight so im only doing 8 to 12 reps an exercise.... takes me 35 to 40 min...

A pound per week is a nice goal but even if it happens, it will be short lived and will come with fat gain.

If someone gains 10 lbs of muscle in an entire year, that is a good year. 52 lbs of muscle in a year isn't realistic.

You look great from what I see in the picture that you posted.

Consistent diet and training is the means and patience is the key but steady gains is behind the door if you manage to use the tools.

You are one lean MOFO! I'm sure you are real disciplined with your eating. Do you track cals /log foods closely ? just curious. You'll have to sacrifice some of that leanness to get the gains your looking for IMO.

Age?

Im asking because I hope you're young and that gives me sort sort of semi-excuse why I dont look like you.

Its funny how the grass is always greener on the other side.
I was at a party a month or 6 weeks ago and was given the best compliment i've ever received when a 21 year old kid said his goal was to look like me.
Now I turn around and say my goal is to be as lean as you.

You look great bro....
