Finally I i gained 6kg in 2 months, from 54kg to 60kg. No junk food, I eat clean from egg, fish, chicken, mass gain and milk.

But I still look skinny as shit. I'm 175cm, 60kg.

My friend 171cm but he is only 57kg. How could possible he looks fatter and his arm is bigger than me ?

Lighter?

Don't get why he quoted me on that..

currently doing practical training, no time to back home to cook. so, I need to eat small portion only? but why my belly size not reduce if I don't eat at all?

can also lose muscle too? I must start to change my diet now.. hey Jamis! you don't visit your baggy pant thread? I want one.

Nvr noe squatting require gripping technique as well... I jz try to make myself comfortable with the weight and balance...

Anyway,

guys, anyone include fish as part of daily intake?? trying to add in fish because all the while with chicken..

You'll be surprised how most things we self adjust have names.

For example, my deadlift grip is called a snatch grip, lol.
(Yes, I know, you are all dirty minded bastards)

Squats I'm using conventional close stance variant, etc etc

Protein is protein la mel, I take them when available.

LOL! This would look friggin hilarious irl.
I'm using false as well. Imo regardless of gripping or not its just how everybody squats is different. You probably need more energy to support the bar on your back, or something like that.

I get the forearm pump. But not always, and its not really pumped la, more like a minor fatigue. On the real hard sets I unconsciously grip the bar super hard too. Sort of trying to help push it up lol. It happens

Any of you guys use the ***** pad? I find squatting with the damn thing is more difficult, hard to stabilise. That could cause your forearms to do extra work too.

Don't understand lol. Why would you have problem scratching your forearms?
Both grips pronate for what lift?

tenderloin 1 kg = 17 bucks (wet market)

chicken breast fillet 1 kg = 12 bucks, some 13 bucks

frozen tilapia fish 1kg = 25bucks!! (dory fish, zz dun take it... dont taste good)

I need at least 500g of chicken everyday (thats minimal) and 15 eggs.. (nt include green and fruit)

10 egg = 4 bucks (omega)

4 scoop protein per day, multivits, + + +

zzzz....

beef is not so expensive, still affordable.. unless u aiming for big nice aussie beef loin...

problem is beef need more preparation compare to chicken. Chicken just boil, while beef, at least grilled =="

I'm always using 5kg dumbell (medium weight??) for 20 reps but I don't want to increase my muscle size but just want to tighten the muscle only. I also doing it fast. So my training is wrong?

You sure? 

There's no flabby muscle and you won't get big muscles.

Cool thank you Mike...  Olympic weights WOULD work on standard bars albeit dangerous. 

Was quoted RM395 for a 7ft Olympic Barbell.
I'm a newbie at trying to build muscles, start with smaller weights to minimize the risk of injury or death 

Do you believe a power rack is must have in the foreseeable future?

Will have to make do without one until saved up enough cash to buy a decent power rack.

200lbs is gonna be difficult for me  not strong yet. Still got time to save
Was quoted from Fitness Concept IOI Mall.

Ordered some weights earlier but didn't order the Olympic bar to save cost.

Planning on reusing a normal bar that I already have at home.

I'll double confirm the cost of the bar, will be at IOI mall tonight for groceries.

On another note, my fellow skinny friend (who started at the beginning of the year and gained nearly 10kg's already) told me that I shouldn't do deadlifts and squats alone in the gym alone because he got laughed at when he started out with the bar and 5kg's, also that it's dangerous to do so without someone watching your form.
So just to check...Any improvements that can be made with my routine or am I doing it completely wrong? (better I get it right from the start haha)

Lol, but sometimes you could not blame a guy. I say one old guy doing a very partial squat and the trainer did not even advice them the proper technique. Hell, I ask the trainer to become a 'spotter' when I do bench press and he actually lift it for me for the whole rep. I mean you spot not help... but hes a nice guy but trainer should really do what they pay for... train.

500 gram of chicken breast can easily provides you with 150g of protein. 100g of chicken breast will cost you around RM 0.85 - RM 1.00. It is cheap compared to whey.

I weight my chicken after cook.lol

My shoulder seems to be nearing 100% again!

Managed to do this for bench press:

60kgx16
80kgx12
100kgx12
120kgx10

Needed a spotter but felt like I could still increase!
