More worryed about good form then anything else tbh

I've started having 4 shakes with 90g of oats and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter aday


i always feel i look like a piece of string with a knot in the middle when im trying to gain weight lol but i suppose most ectomorphs look pregonant when bulking :/
 
Would do 2.5 kg per session rather than 10kg jumps per week mate will adapt and progress better and for longer naturally that way.
 
Was planning on 1kg to the bar each week once i find the right working weight
 
1kg a week is well under shooting mate start light where you are now add couple kg a session for a few months. Deload by 10-15 percent once you fail to meet 5x5 3 sessions in row. Repeat and you will pass old plateau. Repeat again. Simple progressive overload usually works for most naturally up to 130-140kg 5x5 on squats. Sounds unachievable now but get consistancy and sense is key. Fanny around changing your program every 4-6 weeks and you are chasing your tail at entry level to strength.


I know I'm banging on but have a good gander at stronglifts website explains basic strength training, progressive overload etc. You WILL be able to add 2.5kg to that squat bar session after session. Get the mindset the rest will follow. That site all presumes you are training natty too so right up your street.


Trust me forget 'working weight' start at 62.5 tomorrow, 65 next session. Few months time you'll have 100kg on there glad you never fucked around microloading so early
 
Mindset mate. Don't let that fucking 2.5kg beat you. Hold it in your hand, it's fuck all. You can already shift the weight from last session, you know that. Get some inner aggression into it. Be stubborn. Fuck shit up in there. If i had a gun to your head you would add it and lift it provably for 6x6 lol


Also what rest period you having? 3 mins if set was easy 5mins if it was a grind. Time on phone. If it's strength you are after rest is key.


Keep slamming those carbs down your neck again consistently. Plug a multi vit In and some fish oils in too.
 
had a rest day yesterday

got some more of this too

goes great with oats in a shaker

hopped on a weight machine at boots today

the ones that are 50p but dont give you change for a quid lol

said i'm 5'8.1" and 72.7kg / 11st 6lbs

dunno how accurate it is tho, will try the one at the big boot store in lincoln see what that says as well
 
Putting the graft in there mate and good to see a rest day


Bit sly of the gym owner to take your bar I would be cracking him over the head with it if it was mine. ...unless hes a big bastard......then I would crack over the back of the head when he wasn't looking.
