Guys,

Currently i'm 175cm and 55kg. Any advise on transforming my skinny body to fit body?

I just join True Fitness and the personal trainer there tried to persuate me to join their personal training program? Do i need to join the personal training program? or i can just follow some guide and do it myself?

I plan to take on supplement as well. As i researched and ask around, mostly ppl recommend whey protein will do. Do i still need to take weight gainer? Which brand recommended for whey protein?

Any advise will be great!
Thanks!

Hi RDPD,

I'm having the same problem as you. But I didn't join any personal training program. Just read a lot of article, e-book on how ectomorph should train, eat and the perfect form for each exercises.

By doing this, you can save a lot of $$$.

I did tried to take weight gainer(bought it from GNC). After 1 week, I didn't gain any weight. I think for initial stage solid food is better.

But it's just my personal opinion.

Thanks oRoXoRo,

Mind sharing your e-book?

Thanks!

RDPD
since you just started join gym, you can easily gain weight by hitting the gym and take the correct solid food =D

Any good information and websites to share on how to workout and what to eat for skinny people who wants to gain weight and grow muscles? I need a plan...

Is it, few years back i did join gym also, but i didn't gain weight. But that time i didn't take any supplement lar, just eat lots of eggs everyday and drink milk.

This time around i plan to take on supplement, and would like to follow some guideline so that it really works for me.

Hi guys, im 19 yo this year. My height is 190 cm and my weight is 120kg

As for now, im only doing rowing and cycling in gym. I couldnt run on the treadmill for more than 5 minutes because my legs will start to give pain.

I think its due to my weight. Im doing this exercise for 1 month already but i dont see any changes or reduction in my weight.

First of all, i would like to reduce my tummy size which is as big as a wok

Could you guys give me some suggestion and advice on what i should try next ?

Thanx

What's your diet like??

For breakfast, i take bread with peanut butter and milo kosong.

For lunch, i take rice, curry and vegetables. sometimes soup or i eat at vegetarian buddha shop.

Cardio 1.5hrs and weight training 1hr of (abs machine, sit ups and upper body machine)

hi, thanks for creating this thread. I find it useful and keep up the good work.

Just need a piece of advice. My body stats
Tall : 178cm
Weight : 124kgs.

Can you all advice me what kinda excercise for me in order for me to reduce weight for the starting point?

Advice appreciated.

imo, do some cardio and weights. dont do heavy weights, i think 4 sets of 15 reps is good and try hit 6-7 different machines or exercises each workout. make sure the weight is not too light though. should take around 45-60 mins depending on how long you rest, try focus on major muscle groups like legs, chest and back. and cardio well do as much as you can i guess. dont do cardio right before your weights though otherwise you wont have much strength. and i guess the rest is eating healthy foods. i think this is good for a start.

Wow, you lost so much of weight in just one month! Good job. Are you eating healthily though?

yeah the weight is just enough for me to do my reps without knocking me out. you're right i do 1 full stretch of cardio before my weight training

intake, should be very healthy hehehe...

some sample of my daily diet:
-total lean shake/6 wholegrain bread with 3 baked eggs/fruits
-fruits/vegetables salad with chicken/bananas and granola bar
-total lean shake/tuna salad/fruits

break into 3 portion breakfast-lunch-tea (no more intake after 6pm)

thanks bro for the advice. Will start from today and see what is the diff. Will share here!
