Hi Rimma like the title of ya journal . If you want to gain some weight and get some good advice re diet and exercise there are plenty of guys/gals on here that I'm sure will help. Good on your for posting and good luck with ya goals :clap:

[rose]

Welcome 8) Sort your food, you'll be sweet. Post up your eats? Squat rack at home :shock: Shit I'd kill for a squat rack at home!

[teamfatboy]

Wot they said :ditto: With a squat rack and a bench, you've got more than enough to meet your goals.

Post your diet and current training plan and I reckon there'll be good advice coming your way pronto. Welcome!

[Luigi]

get a part time job to get some money for food then just stuff yourself full every day and train hard the gains will come

[rimma]

Haha excellent, thanks for the responses.

@rose, I say squat rack...what i should say, is home-made 2x4 squat rack XD

Of course it will have excellent structural integrity and all the rest! And I bet you'd like one...I see from lurking the past few days that you're quite the squatter!

I will post up my diet, that I literally started yesterday! So here is what I ate yesterday:

1 cup oats w/Banana, Milk

3 eggs, 2 wholemeal toast

Milk shake (ban+egg)

3 eggs, 2 wholemeal toast

Bacon and egg pie w/salad + soup

1 cup oats w/Banana, milk

Milk x 4 throughout the day.

Notes: I realise the egg thing is over the top, I ate 6 and then found out what was for dinner...more eggs! So that was just a bad co-inicidence

Ps: Eatme protein should be arriving soon hence the lack of protein shake.

Awesome dude with your own squat rack you'll have yourself quite a sweet set up. Focus on big compound lifts and you will go a long way to increasing LEAN MASS.

I know your on a tight budget but my one suggestion in respect of your diet would be to try and get some more meat in their tuna, chicken or steak would help alot!

And 6 eggs? No dramas bro, you'll be fine with that if you are trying to gain (as long as you enjoy them).

Buy bulk rice! 20kg sacks of the stuff

I'm a scrawny 18 y/o kid who's looking to put on some weight. Just to mention right from the start that I am in no way, shape or form a bodybuilder...perhaps I'm on the wrong website!

As a former scrawny 18 y/o kid, I would say you're on exactly the right website. Welcome.

I'd kill for a squat rack at home!

She would, too. Don't tell her where you live.

Thanks :grin: It's a proven scientific fact that squats cure cancer!

Hey oh!

Well after a frankly terrible start to my new workout regime, I'm feeling a little more optimistic.

Bad stuff:

-Worked and slept all weekend, missed my workout.

-Found out my scales are wrong and I only weigh something like 63kg

-Diet turned to shit when I missed meals sleeping and being hungover

Sitting here with a protein shake in hand and burning arms that makes even typing hurt, I feel less guilty for having a shocking three days...onwards and upwards!

Weirdly I also beat a few of my records in todays workout...though I was going hard (for me haha)

My workout is a split(ish) between upper and lower. Upper 1, Lower 1, Upper 2, lower 2.

Here's todays, Upper 2:

Bench press: 35x10* 50x5* 50x3* 48x5 PB of 50

DB Incline: 15.5x8* 15.5x8* 15.5x8* 15.5x6

Military Press: 24x8* 25x8* 26.5x6* PB of 26.5

Pullups: BWx 6 and BWx 3

Chinups: BWx6 and BWx 5

Skullcrushers: Didn't attempt cos I have a sore wrist.

I'm determined diet from here on in is gonna be better.

Buy bulk rice! 20kg sacks of the stuff

haha my dad does. Literally a big f*ck-off sack, I just scoop some out from time to time.

@ Nick, yup I can eat tuna as much as I want (more or less). others are harder but I think I might buy some chicken breasts in bulk and freeze em.

And I won't...though I'm not too worried that my ugly-ass 4x2 squat rack will get stolen...its not exactly high-end equipment :grin:

Hi Rimmas! How's it going? I am almost exactly the same dimensions and circumstances as yourself, except a bit older (22) good to see someone else doing the same!
