Don’t compare yourself to Instagram dudes. They’re not only on steroids, but they always take pics with a pump, good lighting, filters and photoshop to emphasize their muscularity.

Your problem is either insufficient caloric intake and/or insufficient lifting. Don't make this more complicated than it needs to be at your level.

Carbs make you huge, especially your body type. I helped 2 of my friends beat this hurdle this way:

Sweet potatoes beat chicken and brown rice combined.
Brown rice is average and chicken is super average.

Eat red meat, steamed brocolli, sweet potatoes

Look up recipes with - Chickpeas - lentils

Make smoothies with - Berries - Spinach - bananas - Peanut butter

Honestly it's all about the food and someone gave you shitty generic diet advice, brown rice and chicken is so over rated its literally bottom tier nutrients.

Protein .7-.8 times your body weight sets between 3-4 reps between 6-12 that’s the natural way

kcxvi · 2018-12-11T21:26:48+00:00

Test and tren. Ole reliable. It will take years to do it naturally and still not look half as good.

OPTIMUM NUTRITION Pro Gainer Weight Gainer. Order it from amazon and drink it twice a day after blending with milk. Tastes dank and will add 2000 calories to your diet per day. I went from 135 lbs to 180lbs on that shit.

Are you tracking your macros? It takes a long time for a natty ectomorph to pack on muscle. Gotta make sure that anything you can improve on, you improve on it pronto.

What the other dude said, .7-.8 protein per pound is good for a bulk. Slightly higher when cutting. Probably 70-90 g fat depending on how tall you are. And the rest, say with a 600ish calorie surplus, is carbs

Themane22 · 2018-12-11T20:35:50+00:00

All these dudes on Instagram the women are obsessed with are all on fuckin roids too. It’s like there’s no hope unless your on roids

I have an ectomorph frame also, you just need to 1) train to get stronger, don’t follow any of the high reps nonsense. You’re an ectomorph you don’t get to build muscle that easily. 2) be fucking greatful you’re an ectomorph. You’re naturally a lower body fat, you have a smaller waist, and your face won’t get as bloated when you bulk. 3) go on a calorie calculator and look up how many calories you need to gain .5/lb a week. Not 1lb a week, .5lb a week. We want to keep fat gain minimal, keep your diet high in protein maintenance fat and TIME your carbs for only the morning and before the gym. Check my profile, I’m an ectomorph also and I had a massive insecurity when I was skinny. Now I’m atleast fucking a decent amount but I know just my confidence and frame holds me back.

Go high carb

sorryforthelifestory · 2018-12-11T20:52:32+00:00

What are ur current lifts?

Morpheus_TNTB · 2018-12-11T21:39:52+00:00

Need way more info than this to help. You need to track your protein and calories to a nats ass. You should also break your fast with carbs followed by protein. You may find yourself eating ~25-30 grams of protein every 2 hours and will grow fucking tired of eating and need discipline.

Themane22 · 2018-12-11T23:40:46+00:00

Thanks again for all the help fellas y’all the shit

Themane22 · 2018-12-12T01:50:46+00:00

Are carbs such as brown rice supposed to make your muscles look more full?

BurnieSlander · 2018-12-12T04:54:09+00:00

Ketogenic diet. You’re not getting nearly enough fat just eating chicken rice and veggies. Also, when you lift, you gotta be pushing yourself to failure EVERY SET.

dani098 · 2018-12-12T05:00:09+00:00

Count your calories then come back and tell me you eat more.
I I guarantee you’re not eating enough

justathrowaway1424 · 2018-12-12T06:30:14+00:00

You have to eat and sleep. Went from a super skinny but athletic ectonorph to jacked d1 athlete in 4-5 years.

Carbs make you huge, especially your body type. I helped 2 of my friends beat this hurdle this way:

Sweet potatoes beat chicken and brown rice combined. ( has better protein )
Brown rice is average and chicken is super average.

Eat red meat, steamed brocolli, sweet potatoes

Look up recipes with - Chickpeas - lentils - Tuna - Potatoes - Carrots

Make smoothies with - Berries - Spinach - bananas - Peanut butter

Your body's kidneys can only handle so much protein a day, upping the protein will do nothing but cap and be turned to fat or excreted.

High quality carbs is the way, try for 2 weeks then post your weight.
