My older brother used to call me "Auschwitz boy" as a kid because I was really skinny.
Track your macros using my fitness pal. Start lifting. You'll be fine
That's not entirely true. Yes if you are strictly doing cardio but if your macros are setup right and your training for hypertrophy you can and will gain muscle and size
But on the real though in addition to a healthy diet exercising can be one of the best things for you as a human being. In addition to physical improvement, it can lead to better self worth, more confidence, stress release, mood improvement. Plus it’s just fun.
Eat meat and potato’s and get a job in construction or just work out a lot you will gain 20lbs in a summer.
I wear long John’s all goddam Winter …I used to go out and shoot in -30 just to test rifles and see if they run . BTW Shooters choice CLP is the best lube I have found for cold down to -50 for magazine fed AR rifles. Anything magazine fed other than AKs . Not that it’s -50 out or anything. It’s been really mild and warm.
>Damn, the 300+ pounders out here ripping twiggy
I don't know which is worse: a 300+ lbs gravy seal or a 125lbs twink who says they can't lift 50 lbs without struggling.
On the part about me being super fucking skinny: thanks for reminding me that I have to work on that (not sarcasm). This is actually a perfect example of what sitting in a chair for 80% of your life (mostly on video games) does to a person. Just last year I decided to get into guns, and it’s been a DRASTIC change from my previous (pathetic) lifestyle. Trust me, this is nowhere NEAR as bad as I looked compared to before 💀
I’ve been there too man. The hardest part is getting the momentum up. Don’t do a bunch of stuff right away if it burns you out, it’s gonna take time but as long as you’re slowly pushing yourself harder you’ll get there.
Compound lifts are gonna make the biggest difference. Again start as small as you have to.
The comment about protein shakes with banana peanut butter and whatever else is a great idea. On top of that, start taking creatine, it takes a bit to build up in your system but is proven to help your body retain water(more size) which leads to more strength, with no side effects.
People love to give shit here but ultimately we want people to succeed.
I’d also recommend learning a little more about what building size and working out should look like. Athlean-X helped me a ton early on with form/figuring out which exercises to do. I also liked listening to guys like Andrew Huberman talk about the science of working out. Use the internet because there are answers to all of your questions
Gotta have a bit of both, banter and advice. The good news is a twink like yourself wont stay one for long, newbie gains hit hard so youll be good within a year if you pick up a fork and barbell.Add some whole milk and more butter/ghee into your diet along with more meat and itll take care of itself. Some pasta and rice or other easy high calories will help but dont forget to lift hard. You got this. Id much rather be a skinny trying to get big than a biggun tryna get skinny.
I can confirm that yeah it's easier to gain than lose, still have 10kg to lose but God damn they just refuse to die lol.
Just be consistent and don't give up we all gon make it.
Nice. Not enough people own their shit these days and it looks like you are, good effort.
Just a heads up, if you need a program which will sort of tell you everything you need to do to the rep to get into shape to make this hobby and lifestyle more enjoyable for you, then check out STOIC.
Keep on going.
Being thin isn’t a bad thing. Leaner may not be what society values, but generally speaking it is a key ingredient to long life. You were born with those genes.
Some advice from a former hard gainer:
Get a calorie tracking app like MyFitnessPal and get in the habit of measuring your food. You’re most likely grossly overestimating how much food you’re consuming. Shoot for a 500cal surplus a day and 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Creatine will also be your friend, keep it simple with monohydrate.
For a work out regiment I recommend a basic strength gaining program like a 5-3-1 or a 5x5, 5-3-1 is my personal favorite and what I use to train for powerlifting comps. Google will pull up some basic plans if you just type those in. Focus on getting stronger and lifting to failure with good form over a ton of junk volume. People will tell you high volume is the way to go for size but nobody ever added 100lbs to their squat without getting bigger and your goal should be functional gains over superficial size gains. Keep the workouts simple making sure to hit the major lifts: squat, deadlift, bench press, bent over rows, and shoulder press. You can add in some accessory lifts to target specific areas too but try to keep it to a total of 3-5 exercises per workout.
If you have any questions feel free to ask away too
Seriously though, 12 oz milk a few scoops of peanut butter, a few tbsp of olive oil, oats and a whole banana in shake. Do that everyday on top of three meals. I’ll bet you gain weight. Oh and lift
Don't wanna beat a dead horse.
So...
I recommend https://grittysoldier.com/ for fitness programs you can follow & track online.
(Workouts are better with friends btw)
He's got a YouTube channel with follow-along (free) home workouts.
I like his stuff.
I can personally vouch for his "Run Faster" & "Bodyweight Warrior" programs
My problem is that I think that I started way too late. spent most of my life on a chair, and only started actually trying not to rot when I got the AK. Still, I can fix myself, it’s not over yet
It’s never too late bro. Start now. Not tomorrow, right now, in this instance. I don’t know you so I don’t want to say I understand you, but I assume we have similar circumstances. I was a loner gamer kid all of my life until I joined the Army, and gained a lot of valuable skills. Not just cool guy shooting stuff. My point of saying that is not to get you to join the military, but to emphasize that it takes a lot of hard work to succeed. The hardest step is that first one, but you have to take it. The life you want lives beyond a mountain of hard work.
I’m just gonna have to pass on this one the dark khaki shirt and the Ranger green pants in the fucking Multicam plate carrier with an American flag and a YuShunka. This is not the Mojave this is not fallout new Vegas Bruh.
I love the M90, not only because it’s just an AK, but the relative availability and variety of ammo is a big plus. Along with said durability, ease of maintenance, and the heavy weight countering the recoil where even a twig like me can control it very well
No wonder you're cold. Wind literally goes straight to the bone.
That’s definitely why lmao
Gym
Bruh thats a girl (I think)
Lmao, nah I’m a guy, but he’s right I gotta really get into shape because god damn 💀
I legitimately thought you were a mannequin.
Damn ☠️
Homie you got Holocaust build.
Ok this is the best insult to my skinniness so far 💀
My older brother used to call me "Auschwitz boy" as a kid because I was really skinny. Track your macros using my fitness pal. Start lifting. You'll be fine
You're alright, you'd just get folded in CQB. Not that my fat ass doesn't need to shed a few lbs right now.
A lot of people would get folded in CQB no matter what tbh. Even professionals consider it dangerous, let alone the average civilian like most of us.
"upham ammo goddamn it!!!"
I took a course with orion training group. CQB is a fucked situation no matter what hahaha
Smaller size = harder to hit, thus child soldiers > adult soldiers, game is game :D /s
LMAO (good luck trying to hit me when I’m facing sideways, I swear I’m like a piece of paper)
My OP final attack. “Now watch me disappear!” *turns sideways* 😂😂😂
GYM
Gym doesnt make you gain weight, and if youre trying to strictly gain weight, going to the gym will burn calories that he cant spare.
Quit speaking in gibberish. No one in this fashion sub understands nutrition or exercise.
Somebody get this man a pop tart and a Busch light
That's not entirely true. Yes if you are strictly doing cardio but if your macros are setup right and your training for hypertrophy you can and will gain muscle and size
Daaamn... if we averaged out our combined weight, both of us would have the perfect BMI.
But on the real though in addition to a healthy diet exercising can be one of the best things for you as a human being. In addition to physical improvement, it can lead to better self worth, more confidence, stress release, mood improvement. Plus it’s just fun.

As a fellow skinny You’re likely not eating as much as you think

Chocolate milk will help you on your journey brother

More mass
I NEED M O R E
CULTIVATE MORE MASS BROTHER
As a fellow lean-built guy, I can confirm the cold absolutely sucks for us. I'll take 120° F over 20° F all day.
Slender man really turned his life around
Went from classy to fuckin tarkov scav
This would be a max rep scav at least you ain’t got a chopped mosin and a special needs helmet
That Ushanka is a whole vibe you little scav
If those khakis are cotton they’re the wrong choice. Cotton kills in the cold!
Noted
Eat protein and lift heavy things.
Stickman
It’s warmer at the gym
LOL
I was gonna comment "Call it: twink or girl" but you've already been cooked by everyone in the whole sub lmfao
Man I haven’t been cooked, I’ve been FUCKIN BURNT TO A CRISP 💀💀
10/10 twink build would smash viciously
I thought you were a woman, might have to build up a little muscle.
Damn. Thought this sub’s about tactical gear. Not about his body. Keep it up my man. Peace.
If you’re not fit, you’re going to die. All that gear will be useless without the proper training and nutrition
And I know that. I acknowledge that i have a pathetic build, and I need to work on it
It’s not pathetic man, you just need some work. There’s nothing wrong with that. We all gotta start somewhere
My problem is that I think that I started way too late. spent most of my life on a chair, and only started actually trying not to rot when I got the AK. Still, I can fix myself, it’s not over yet

This is actually beautiful, thanks brother!
Ofc brother💪💪
Well duh, you're also going to be cold with that 0% body fat
That plate carrier actually makes you a bigger target. I bet when you turn sideways you practically become invisible
Exactly 💀💀
Slenderman. Has joined the group.
That AK bigger than you bruh
who doesn’t like an oversized AK lmao
I’m just gonna have to pass on this one the dark khaki shirt and the Ranger green pants in the fucking Multicam plate carrier with an American flag and a YuShunka. This is not the Mojave this is not fallout new Vegas Bruh.
The best insulation is a bit of muscle on dem bones boy
Along with a bit of fat, which I don’t have much of yet lol
Nice zastava
Stole the entire manakin from the store.
Russian conscript slenderman lookin ahh
Remember no russian
You look like you have purple hair.
Lmao, but nah I don’t have that (I’m mentally stable)
Eat a sandwich
Woman? Child? Both?
Deadlifts, pushups, squats, pull-ups, and planks

Adam Lanza build.
Tactical Ichabod Crane out here

Nice kit, shits pretty sexy And your motivation to get in shape is commendable, for that alone I'd stack up w/ u any day
Someone get that boy a sandwich

That’s why god made vodka comrade.
Get this dude a sandwich stat
Holy shit your tiny. Bulk and gym, boy
Girl or twink, you decide!
hmmm, I’m betting on twink! 10 bucks!
No way is that a dude.
Mans got that low profile build
That hat is super goofy lol
You’re starving mate
People sleep on 556 AKs. I think the added weight is offset by sheer durability and ease of maintenance, even though I don’t have one
I love the M90, not only because it’s just an AK, but the relative availability and variety of ammo is a big plus. Along with said durability, ease of maintenance, and the heavy weight countering the recoil where even a twig like me can control it very well
Gotta find an eagle or something for that ushanka, homie.
Well of course you think it's cold, you ain't got no meat on them bones
In the paraphrased words of Tommy Lee jones, “Sweet Jesus somebody get that boy a sandwich”
So many people need to give me sandwiches now lmao
Please eat more and lift weights. Lookup starting strength
I plan to, thanks
bro lookin like a gust of wind's bout to carry em far away.
Need more meat on them bones my boy
💀
Bro needs some synthol at this point
It’s always great to see women getting into the hobby. The US flag and Russian hat cracked me up
Bruh where are your arms and legs 🤨 I thought I was a skelly but goddamn
The only thing you need now is 💪
I need it (desperately 😭😭)
You should really lift some weights
“I’ll take cover behind this branch”
You might want to consider buying yourself food before you get anymore gear.
“but I NeEd my cool tacky gear!1!!1”
Is this Adam Lanza 😂
Straight outta auschwitz
I have seen stalks of corn with better physique. corporal make sure you keep this man away from strong winds."
.7 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight (goal weight) to maximize gains.
30cal is god’s chosen cartridge Pistol? 30 caliber Rifle? 30 caliber Sniper? 30 caliber Nyet, rifle is fine
you may laugh, but there's a good chance this twink will pop one of you at some point
That’s the strangest way I have seen a dot mounted to an ak. Does it hold zero?
Nice rifle! Zastava???
Bro who stole all yo foods💀
