Can we agree on a couple of things here??

OP is 183cm tall and 66kg.

He needs to gain weight.

He needs to train for maximal results.

Why are people really advising that he does split routines or 5-6 days a week or forearm curls for the nice burn etc etc?

seriously, the guy could eat a bowl of lard 5 times a day for 12 weeks and still look skinny.

does anyone here really disagree that this is the perfect scenario for 5x5 of squats/bench/dead/overhead press/chins/rows and nothing more?

also, what ever diet he posts, each of the 3-6 meals he has per day should have about 500ml of full cream milk to wash it down.

6ft tall and 66kg.

I know a guy that had an eating disorder.

He became anorexic.

once he got his mind straight, he did 5x5 for a year and ate everything.

went from 43kg at 6ft to 100kg.

his current lifts are

squat 180

bench 140

dead 230

now he's taking some time off from 5x5 to do some BB type stuff to give his joints a break to recover etc.

but the point is, size comes from heaps of food and big movements.

3 times week is perfect.

OP - if you do splits and time wasting lifts like forearm curls or tricep kick backs etc, you will be 66kg and 6ft when you are 24 too.

Must have skimmed over the 6ft part, but I've got mates that are 6ft-6ft 3, what I'd call malnourished skinny, and they're still 70-75+kg, so the only time this guy should not be eating is when he's cooking his next meal, and even then he should be snacking on a big mac.

We have been doing the full body workouts as a bit of a break from the usual, Chest/triceps, back/biceps and shoulder/legs. Has been interesting with mixed results I guess. In some aspects I feel that I have grown (especially in the biceps) where in others I feel that I have gotten weaker (squats).

Diet is something like this:

7:00am Breakfest: 3-4 eggs, orange juice and my pill stack which consists of: Multi Vitamen, Fish Oil, Testosterone and Acai Berry

10:00am Snack: either a protein shake or a tuna and cheese melt

12 or 1pm Lunch: whatever I can get my hands on, today I have a cup of white rice and a chicken fillet.

3pm Snack: the opposite of what I had in the morning

Whenever Dinner is: whatever the old lady cooks I try to devour.

I am going to add another couple of shakes into the mix. Ill probably firm up the morning snack to the melt, and have the afternoon one as a shake because I get to gym around 5:30-6pm. After Gym I will start to have a shake waiting in my car to drink on the way home. Last shake will probably be a hour or so before bed, and more of a smoothie with fruit and yogurt and what have you, just to bump up the calories.

During my workout I am starting a cycle of BCAA, which the guy at supplement wharehouse recommended to help the protein hit the muscles faster and stay longer. See if it makes a difference. I have been on createin before but never really noticed anything, so I have gone off it over the past couple of months. I should probably get back on it.

Cheers,

Hey mate, don't take this the wrong way but that diet will not help you gain size. You should be eating around 3500 calories or more a day to get results. If your stuck on what sort of foods you can eat to make up 3500 calories then check out bodybuilding.com

yeah, look im not stupid, so i dont take things the wrong way. I realise that Im not going to pack on the pounds and what have you. My biggest issue is actually eating.

I have been on 3500 calorie diets before with no gain, reason why? I was on the toilet shitting and spewing all day long. Pretty much have to increase the size of my stomach slowly as I go. Also looking at my family and the way my father and brother put on weight, I should start seeing gains quicker now as my metabolism will probably start slowing down around 23.

Please dont see this as an excuse, I have tried it all before. I cant even stomach the massive calorie shakes like Steroid mass and what not and Ive tried them all.

just downloaded the Jefit app to my phone. Basically tracks your workouts and what you're lifting etc etc.

seems easy enough to use, I just need to configure it properly.

website is http://www.jefit.com/ if anyone else is interested.

Eat like I do. I've gained like 5kg in the last two months or so from ~63kg to ~68kg.

Breakfast is the most important meal, eat up. Bacon and eggs is great, with toast and a huge glass of milk. In fact, aim to drink a 2L bottle of full cream milk a day.

Eat lots and lots of nuts. I love my almonds although they are expensive. I spend about $20-30 a week on them.

Beans, rice and pasta are great too. Just make sure you have a decent amount of protein (30-40g) with each meal. You should be having a meal every 2-3hours.

Second most important meal is the one you eat straight after you workout. I always get a double quarter pounder from Maccas on the way home from the gym. I starving by the time I get out of the gym and those suckers have like 48g of protein and a ton of energy, plus they taste awesome.

Best advice I can give is to prepare your meals the day before. Eating constantly it hard, especially if you're preparing each meal individually. Make a big batch of pasta and mince sauce. Make like 6 bowls and put them in the fridge. Each them constantly the next day. Cook a large amount of chicken breast, rice and salad. Portion them into 4-5 tuperware containers and eat one on each break at work.

You should never feel hungry, eating should not be enjoyable, it has now become a chore.

yea, I am trying to drink more milk and juice for extra calories. Fat shake at night etc.

Update on the Jefit program. Looks good, calculates what your 1max rep should be (providing you are lifting properly and struggling).

Set up goals, takes all of your measurements yadda yadda. Even shows graphs for your progress from the look of things.

Careful with the food stuffing guys, especially with the wrong types of food...I did that and most of my gains were just fat. Now that I've trimmed down again, I much happier than when I had the extra weight. You will gain weight with lifting alone, you just need to keep upping the weight of your lifts and supply enough energy/protein to get through workouts and recover. This will in turn make you eat more and grow the proper way rather than putting on fat. Looks much better when a thin guy has bulked up with muscle than a fat guy trying to cut.

Sarcasm doesn't portay well on the forum...

Show pony, What are u on about?

1RM is a true measurement of strength and a standard in which athletes can measure and compare power...

Why do we have dyno hp comps for our skylines... To measure and compare

Doing a 1RM test isn't gonna make you any stronger.. not only that but it's a great way to injure yourself. Either way, if you're talking about measuring and comparing, it's more of a power lifting statistic, so if you are a power lifter than I take back my comment.

People generally injure themselves cause they don't know how to lift properly, or go too hard before they know what they re doin

U say 1RM is useful only to power lifters,

I say it's a pretty good indicator of whether ur getting stronger or not

"Everybody wants to be a powerbuilder, don't nobody want to lift no heavy-ass weights" Ronnie Coleman

You wanna get big? U gotta lift big

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
