    Am I working out wrong? .... 22y/o - 5'8" - 147 Lb

    @lightandlove Dips are awesome. I remember when I first started doing them I was blown away at the progress I was making. Might try do some weighted dips if I can find the belt for it at my gym

    @pentecostr Yeah I do a lot coding which all sitting down. I skate about 2-3 miles everyday though which helps and I stand up and walk around every hour or so. Definitely not worried about a little gut especially since winter time is approaching. But by next summer, I really wanna be beefy...

    @dawn16 damn 1100+ big 3 is solid. It's funny because the other day I was thinking about hitting the 1000 pound club and realized I got a lot of work to do. I will check out the forum for sure. I always feel small at the gym compared to some of the other kids in my age group. Will definitely be...

    @dawn16 What is SS? Low bar squats are where the bar sits more on the part of your traps right? Elbows tucked in tight?

    @andrew_htun The rest of the calories are 38g of fiber and 119g of sugar which I never usually hit the sugar macro. I usually level it out on carbs or protein. 1.5-2g/day seems excessive, no? Do you have any articles on successful results with 2g/body pound of protein per day? Also I've been...

    @andrew_htun I set it to gain 1 lb. per week and it set my carbs at 50% Protein 20% and fat 30% idk if that's good or not, but 328g is a lot of protein.

    @andrew_htun Yeah I mentioned earlier somewhere in the post I'm intaking around 150g protein a day/ 360-400g carbs & 60-80g/fat. I've tried pre-workout before & it helps but whenever I stop taking it I feel super weak and tired all the time. I usually just load up on oatmeal and peanut butter in...

    @nns I line myself up more with what you're saying. Personally eating over 200g's of protein a day just doesn't sound reasonable...more like a job. I've been using myfitnesspal for the last 3 weeks. I went from 144-149 in 3 weeks so I'll be monitoring my progress over the next month or two...

    @dawn16 Dude I have no chest, If I do what everyone has recommended and switch to high volume, feelin the burn on every set I'll have a solid chest by this time next year. Yeah I could probably pump out 1 maybe 2 reps on a 155 military press.

    @aquariusnights Honestly, I've been trying to eat vegetarian since last New Year's. My mom and sister are full vegan and I figured I'd "try it out for a year." I've had meat a handful of times this year, but I've been getting my protein from other sources. It's hard and I might go back to eating...

    @dawn16 when I started 3 years ago I was like 115-120. I hit puberty extremely late. I still feel like a baby sometimes compared to other kids I grew up with. I'm now starting to realize how important eating is and I make a conscious effort to get in all my macros everyday. I've been on point...

    @wanelad I kind of agree with you on that one. My mom and sister are both vegan and I tried it out for a change. It's cool, I don't think it's for everyone. I don't think it's healthy to eat 2-3 steaks a day. But there is definitely a healthy balance for eating meat. Considering the last 3 weeks...

    @wanelad I know I need too. Considering I've been vegetarian the last year it's a job to get in a ton of calories every day. Peanut butter is a great food for dense calories, but I'm not the biggest fan of it. Need to just eat it regardless

    @jeffku I used to do 8-12, 6-8, just happened the last few weeks I've been trying out the low rep range. But I think the biggest problem is my split. Like everyone mentioned I need to be hitting every muscle group at least 2 times a week and my current split is shit. Daily protein intake around...

    @dawn16 Ok I'm confused what you're saying. You said add another 60g's of protein. I'm eating around 140g/ protein a day. 360-400g/carbs. 60-80g/fat and I eat fruits and vegetables and try to split it up between 4 sometimes 5 meals a day. Clean eating too

    @dawn16 I can barely eat 140 grams of protein per day/ 200 a day sounds like a job. Isn't too much protein bad for your kidneys? Also I don't work in physical labor so the only exercise I get daily is going to the gym and skating a few miles to school.

    @mathitu Yeah I think I'm on a bulking diet? I use the MyFitnessPal app and it set me up to eat 3100 cals a day. 140g protein/ 360g carb 80g/fat etc...

    @mathitu I plan on it! I'll be keeping better track of my weight lifts & exercises and hopefully be ripped in 6 months.
