If you think I'm the type that bulks up easily and have high metabolism then you're wrong. I gain fat easily in the belly when bulking up and I don't think I"m lucky at all. I'm small but I wont say skinny, more like skinny fat.

Alright then ! But I don't have a camera in my house so it'll have to wait a few days, I'll be sure to post my current pictures up (do I need to capture my legs too?)! Thanks~

Thanks a lot BicepTricep! Really helpful guy you are. I tried the calculator but I don't know my BF% (it says it's optional). What it asked for was only my height and weight which I doubt will give a sufficiently accurate TDEE (then I must do some adjustment with my eating to know). Also which formula should I use for my BMR there?

It's sad I score so little in the physical department here... For one I hate to have girly hands but I can't do anything about it.

belly is a sure thing to happen when you bulk. dont be afraid

don't be sad le, even girly hands can turn into warlock grade, monster slaying, excalibur wielding, demon banishing sized arms given you take time doing it over and over again, same intensity, adding weights overtime, maybe by a year if you do it right you'll get a noticeable results.

I concur. Consistency.

bro you a beast already, deltoid definition is so overpowering i can only imagine ppl disengage their stare at you after 5 seconds of awe when you walk on the streets brah!

I've been training for awhile (of course not as long as all the sifus here ) but I only see growth in my arms and forearms muscles lolbut really not at all for the hands. I don't think there's a training for bone growth. My hands size almost same as my gf and my mom and smaller than some girls argh....

kid i'm not that hardcore of a bodybuilder, but when i first start at form 3 i started to pushup 30 and increase ever other day/week by the time i'm form five i got to 80 everyday i grind it man, and i still look at my forearm and wrist and think it is spaghetti arms, but after a while if u keep doing them, yes my wrist is probably still the same size, hands too, but the thing is when you walk around ppl can see how your sleeves is filled with toned tris and bis and if your foerarm have some definition man, shit they won't be looking at your small wrist man when all your other body parts is overshadowing it, maybe wide shoulders and all man, just work at it kid , good things will come out of it that's for sure

Mate, I've got tiny hands for a guy and small wrists as well. Can't do anything about hand size, but small wrists mean bigger looking forearms, so it works out.

Thanks man. People think I'm going for the upcoming physique comp. I said no. Lol, too lazy to diet. I train for leisure and fun.

Larger version.

Wow that's really good! I only did my 1st proper push up (only 1 rep) when I was about to finish form5. I came all the way to where I am now and of course I'll continue working on it. I'll pack on however much muscles I can on this tiny frame of mine
Btw my dad have bigger structure than me. Could it be that I've stunted my growth in puberty? As I've mentioned earlier I ate stuffs like maggi mee and junk food on a daily basis, sleep only a few hours daily (playing online games in the midnights), could not jog 100m without panting or do a push up (and my muscles twitch when I sleep). I'm not exaggerating and it could've been much worse cause that's all I remember. This lifestyle went on from form1 to form4.

Yup it does give the illusion of my muscles looking bigger when I look into the mirror haha (due to contradiction).
But when any random grown-up guy stands beside me I instantly get dwarfed
Life's a b**** haha.

Anyhow, thanks each and everyone of you here for contributing your respective thoughts, insights, ideas and opinions. I'm beginning to like this forum cause of the quick responses and helpful community!

And so for my opening question, I'd get into a conclusion and continue bulking clean for now!

Btw, I've been thinking, should I continue what I'm doing now or should I try 5/3/1 Big But Boring? I really enjoy what I'm doing now and have been seeing okay gains (gained muscles, fats and strength altogether).
Also the most I could Deadlift in my gym (cause all the plates are in a Crossfit room which I have no permission to access) now is 103.5kg (I can lift for 5 reps with proper form). I wont be moving to another gym till I get into a university so what can I do now? Continue to go for higher reps? Or wear shoes to make the range of motion longer?

my case coz i'm active in highschool was playing basketball watching slamdunk saw ouzumi do dumbell curl in one episode form 4 bought 10kg dumbell for birthday for 50 rm in carefour ahahaha i remember the days la sumore i join karate form 3 also so active lifestyle la.

the stunted issue, im not too sure la, but i myself eat alot of indo mee, i really like it, now im just a casual bodybuilder, not much definition but if girls see they will comment also la , even guys also will always touch here and there.

though i have a friend last time who is quite crazy and do crazy lift and he's a bit short i think also because he's malnutrition with all that bodybuliding without proper supplement (when ur in highschool you cant afford ON protein shake anyways)

my advice forget about your past brother! start slowly proper form, focus on big compound movement, those deadlift squats bench press all will pay off one day la dun worry start slow and grind the hardwork week in week out, ur fren will soon comment that your body is too big later.

bro blowing up other ppls brain already when you blow up the pic.

Well, I'm halfway into my cutting phase. I never really had problems being lean but it's my first time trying to shred. As in really shred. I'll post up a progress shot in 2-3 weeks time.

Keeping strength up is important on a cut. Pulled a 435lbs x 4 deadlift yesterday.
