I have a pretty small body due to genetics and attempted to bulk up but gained no mass due to genetics

If you're not gaining, it means you're not eating enough. You're not special.

Whey Protein and Creatine at the same time

Holy shit protein AND creatine AT THE SAME TIME???

CICO trumps genetics buddy. Eat more fucking food

you can also look at fenugreek and agmatine to stimulate your appetite https://examine.com/stacks/appetite-stimulation/

Okay bro, first of all if you are not gaining weight, you are not eating enough - it is that simple. Write down everything that you eat for the day and calculate what amount of calories you are getting throughout the day. Do this for a few days so that you get some sort of average. Once you have figured this out then you know where you are at. Then to build the size, you increase your calories by 500 so that you are gaining around 1lb per week. Please do your cardio whilst you are putting on weight, since the cardio will make you hungrier and thus, you will want to eat more weight. Not only that, but cardio is great for a muscle that has the most difficult job - your heart! Aim for 10 minutes of cardio 5-6 times a week minimum.

Once you are gaining weight, your lifts will go up and you will build muscle nicely. Just be patient, because building your body is a LONG process.

Also, don't put yourself down about your height or your face. You were dealt the hand so play with those cards and maximise yourself and improve yourself to the best of your abilities. Lifting and taking care of your body gives you a supreme advantage over the majority of the population, because you will be healthier in mind and body, look better and feel better

Creating has been shown to accelerate balding if it’s in your genetics so I’d stop that. MK-677 needs to be taken for about 3 months before it starts to kick in, during that 3 months your appetite will be through the roof and since you said you had no money for food you’ll be in hell, don’t take any RAD or LGD to give u a boost in size either or even touch gear, your test levels currently is the highest it will be during your life so take advantage or those natty levels. You said you’ve been lifting for a year but only threw your DL numbers, are you even lifting correctly ? And I hope that’s is in KG not LBS. Do Frank Zane’s PPL or Arnold’s Split, after a year you should by now have form down packed. You’re 5’3 and 16 it’s not the end of the world you still have time to grow, I have friends that are 5’4+ and they pull with ease. LIFT read,sidebar and remember to get big you have to eat big.

Do not get mk-677. You are not ready for it, especially if you refer to at as "something".

Mk-677 is a sarm mostly used for HEALING not gaining weight. Although it does help in bulk cycles because it allows you to heal quicker, it is very overrated if used alone (and if you are still young). You will also need to do a short PCT after use.

You will not see any results from mk-677 (or steroids for that matter) unless your diet is in check. Your diet is very clearly NOT in check.

Simply put, you need to eat more. If you aren't gaining weight, you aren't eating enough.

Anyone who tells you anything other than clean food (shit tons of it,3,500-4,000 kcals a day for me personally) and old school weightlifting is necessary to build lean mass is trying to sell you something. Throw the mass gainer/protein powder in the trash and spend the supplement money on real food. You know, the stuff your physiology is designed to run optimally on.

genetics are only a part of the equation, i gained 60 lbs under 10% bodyfat in the last few years... You can too, pleanty of resources online, you just have to look.

A tip to eat more calories throughout the day is download myfitnesspal from the app store or google play, then track your macros. With that, set timers on your phone to remind you to eat every 2 hours regardless if its just a small meal. This is exactly what i did.

you are balding? at 16? you should go see a doctor if you are balding at 16 dude.

GrandmasterHurricane · 2019-02-07T03:22:01+00:00

If you're not growing, it's because you're not eating enough or you're not eating enough of the right foods.

What's your "bulk" diet like? Walk me through a day by day, meal for meal.

I don’t even know what lifting important for if I don’t even have the height or the face for it (I’m Balding and short)

This makes it even more important for you to lift. Sure, if everything else is equal, a woman will choose a 6 foot man over a shorty. So you need to make yourself stand out in some way.

Fix your diet. Calculate your TDEE, and eat that every day. Then eat an extra 500+ calories on the days you lift. Spread out over three meals and two snacks, 500 cals is super easy to do.

Fix your lifting program. Do Stronglifts5x5 or any of the full body lifting programs over at r-fitness. Make sure you follow the details like resting a day between lifts (don't lift three days back to back).

PS - Experienced lifters can lift 5-6 days a week because they focus on isolation lifts, working specific muscle areas each day. Novices will see much better progress with full body programs, 3x per week.

>Age: 16 5’3 96 lbs I have a pretty small body due to genetics and attempted to bulk up but gained no mass due to genetics, prompting me to use both Whey Protein and Creatine at the same time. I seem to be a minimal or non responder so if I can I’m going to see if I can pickup something called Mk-677.

> I can dl around 115

Do I need to comment on this?

> I’ve been lifting for a year
