Ask me anything relating to lifting weights/workingout.

Can you help my bf with a workout and eating plan?

He's 21, skinny his whole life. The past 2 years he's been at a normal body weight for his height.

175lbs
6ft

He's down to 150lbs due to cardio. He wants a muscular body (not crazy meat head), clean cut abs, arms, chest and a strong back. He's got pretty bad genetics, can't build muscle for the life of him so he's going to need to pump it hard.

If he wants a muscular body he'll have to put on weight, as he doesn't gain much, possibly cut the cardio or do minimal. As for getting clean abs and a chest, this takes time - bulk up then cut like crazy and he'll get the ripped look.

But like I said, if he wants muscle he'll have to start eating more and gaining more weight. Rather than having 2-3 big meals a day, tell him to have 6+ medium size meals - don't get full so easily and can help gain more weight.

Not sure on the eating plan - protein, 3000+ carbs a day?

As for the workout

Hope I helped a bit..

hey man,

i'm a rather skinny person (ectomorph) with a high metabolism rate.

How should my diet plan be like?

Are you working naturally or taking some supplements like creatine or other stuff ?
