  • At the moment of writing, 13 weeks or so after I started this thread I've gone from 64kgs to 71kgs. That's a 12% gain. My body fat is down slightly, not much, but if you compare that to the new weight it's down even more in relative terms.

    I know all the "no need for supplements" advice given in this thread was well meant, but I'm posting this as other skinny muppets like myself might want to know it works for some. Not that I didn't revise my diet otherwise. I've been on about 100g protein a day from food, but then 50g a day from powder which there was no way I could have managed from food.

    (writing this, I will have bumped the thread to the front qualifying for now end of pisstaking..... posting about my own weight like a bulimic teenage chick, I kind of deserve it though...)

    I started at 64kg around march. I tore my knee ligaments on the 10th march, and got into lifting proper as means of rehabilitation and because I wanted to become more athletic (always been slow and weak) Started lifting and eating like a beast once knee settled down.

    I am up to 70kg bodyweight, no supplements except fish oil for my bad knee.

    I went from no push ups to 4 sets: 20-15-12-10 (chest touching ground every rep)

    No chin ups or pull ups to: 10 chinups of 7 pull ups

    No dips to : 10-5-5-5

    empty bar squat to 72.5kg 5x5

    deadlift: 0 ( yeah I could barely do empty bar) to 85kg 5 fast reps

    Overhead press (my slowest progress) : 10kg (junior empty barbell) to 27.5kg 3x5

    Bench press (bad shoulders, least enjoyable lift): empty bar to 47.5kg 5x5

    Power clean: empty bar to 37.5kg 5x5 (will do 40kg next time)

    Barbell rows: will test on wednesday, aint done em in ages.
