Yeah, I noticed I'm not as thick as other people even when they're lighter than me. I really want to look thicker, especially on the front as my chest doesn't stick out at all.. sad.gif
My chest really sucks and you could say abs too.. There's like no density in the middle. It goes inwards and so does the bottom part of my pecs.
What more, I've got flared ribs where they kind of stick slightly outwards, making it as though my tummy bulges out as opposed to my chest that goes inwards.

Btw, what should I do now? Continue bulking up? 3 years bulking and not even a proper bulk, getting tired of it lol.

i'd say keep on bulking till you're about 90-95kg at that height but i'd be more interested in how your lifts have progressed since you first started. would you mind sharing?

Yeah, I am tempted to try and go for the abs look now lol but my chesties sad.gif
Not sure what you mean by sharing my lifts.

Well, lifts have gone up but I for my weight and comparing to others, I think I lift less than others. I'm a very weak guy especially when I was at 58kg. Fuk.

Lifts have definitely gone up quite a bit this year. Last year I wasn't adventurous to add on weights.. Didn't know why. Got stuck 80kg like the second half of the year. This year so far so good, except that now it's maintaining I guess. What helped me bulk was my milk, protein, oats, yoghurt, banana, blueberrie blended shake which I stopped taking. Too lazy to blend, and bored with the taste :\

i was referring to the weights that you are able to lift/pull right now in comparison with when you first started. you've got to have some way of measuring if you're actually making progress i should think.

if you're lazy to blend, just keep drinking milk and add a cup of almonds in a ziploc bag or tupperware and bring it with you to work/school. no blending required, just drink and snack on them throughout the day.

i think my metabolism is too high , i eat alot in the breakfast but then 12 noon i feel super duper hungry already ... and 1 day i need to drink alot of water which is 6 litre ++... last time around march untill may i got try the 5.75lbs bsn true mass and gym workout , but my weight still remain the same 55kg. I realize after i took my dinner , my weight add untill 57kg but after morning i wake up it drop to 55 kg ...

at your size and weight, i wouldn't hesitate to add 3 double cheeseburgers a day on top of whatever it is you're eating already. another thing, on serious mass is not the solution. use the money you spent on buying it to buy more chocolate milk, almonds and peanut butter the next time.

high metabolism or not, you're bound to put on weight within a few weeks.

every evening i got play basketball or badminton , if i am back to hometown i got cycling up hill or jogging , did you guys think should i reduce my sports and focus on gaining weight first?

you can keep playing the sports mentioned however often you want BUT the crucial thing is you have to eat more to GAIN weight.

whatever you're eating now, have extra servings and add the following to your daily diet that can be eaten at any time of the day:

1 cup almonds
1L fresh/full/chocolate milk

just those 2 foods above will give you close to an additional 2000kcal a day so, assuming that you eat at least 3 regular malaysian kind of meals a day, you should be pushing the 3000kcal mark. Try this for a month and if you're not gaining weight, add in a few McD double cheeseburgers in there a day and you should make weight.

Been wanting to post a picture up for awhile now, but was always shy. Anyway, I'll post one up in January, body looks flat now since I haven't been able to workout as much as I like.

In the meanwhile, here are my current poundages for a few lifts.

Barbell benchpress (with the bar stopping an inch from my best, can't have it touching my chest since I don't have a bench at home yet) - 68kg x 5
are you then doing floor presses since you don't have a bench?
Barbell Hacksquats - 73kg x 10

Dumbbell overhead Presses - 17.5kg x 5

Kroc Rows (dumbbells) - 25kg x 15
personally, would consider this a dumbell row only. for kroc rows, you should be doing much heavier weights than that.

Heavy is subjective. Anyway, I don't have a problem calling it dumbbell rows.

And yeah, floor presses.

Good call on the floor press as that does have a carry over to your bench press.

@whatdamn

Yeah, heavy is subjective. Kroc Rows is using heavy weight with high reps with rows that have more body english than normal row but you know this right?

@harris92

You can lay on something to make your body a bit elevated (like making deficit) so that the barbell touch your chest (if you want)
*
I should be more specific with the intensity to take subjectiveness out of the equation. By heavier I suggest taking your 50 to 65% 1RM of your press or start lower and work your way up to that for reps. Looking at your press you could probably test at 35kg for 15 to 20 reps.

More than normal movement is fine when doing this kind of row.
