Guaranteed way to go from anorexic to buff/big

DISCLAIMER: THIS WILL GET YOU BUFF BUT IT WILL NOT GET YOU RIPPED, BUFF AND RIPPED REQUIRES TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF WORKOUTS AND NUTRITION.

mini story(you can skip)
Alright, so my entire life I was a very skinny kid, my metabolism is very high, and I remember in elementary school everyone had the bicep bump except for me, in 8th grade I still couldn't do one real push up, and by 9th grade I was bullied and abused because I couldn't defend myself I decided to stop all of the abuse by starting to workout I was tired of it.


step 1(skip if you can already do 30 push ups straight)

for someone like me who had never worked out his entire life, I started with push ups, I recommend you start with this, because if you can't easily knock out 30 push ups then you won't be able to do the next part, if you cannot do pushups I recommend you start with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV80y796Gwk you don't need to follow a nutritious diet for this because this stage is just to prepare your body for the bulking workout you will do, I did this for a whole year because I didn't have money to get workout equipment but I recommend you do this for a month or until you can easily knock out push ups.


step 2(the start)
buy a home bench set(I started with the 55 lb bench press set)
on this one you will need to get a protein shake and drink it every workout
this is what you will need to do:
-day 1: bench your 55 lbs as many sets as you can (when I started I could only bench press 55 lb 60 times)

-day 2: try to do atleast 5 more than you did yesterday(if yesterday I did it 60 times, today I would need to do it 65 times or more)

every day that goes by keep adding atleast 5 more sets than you did the day before it will seem like its impossible when you're doing it but it is, just keep pushing every day to do atleast 5 more, if you want your body to improve you have to improve. it doesn't matter if you pause between the sets(if you keep your arms up to rest a little) just remember, every time you rest your arms up while bench press, you make it harder to do more sets

step 3(the bulking)
once you get way too used to the 55 lb you will stop seeing progress in your body even though you're progressing in sets(strength), that is what happened to me, thats when you know its time to increase weight
I bought two plates of 35 to add to my bench set, which brought it from 55 to 125 lb,
on the first day I bench pressed it about 40 times, then the next day I did it 50 times
you will need to do the same as step 2 but this time instead of atleast 5 more times than the day before, you do it atleast 10 more times than the day before,

when I did it 100 times I started to notice I was getting really big,
the last time I did it, I bench pressed 125 about 260 times.
right now I'm not doing this because I am trying to lose a few weight to get ripped, at the time I wanted to bulk up but now I want to try to get ripped.

ALWAYS DRINK YOUR PROTEIN SHAKE AFTER A WORKOUT

    please stay on topic or pm me
  • Forgot to add that my dad can't even bench press 180 lbs, and the fact that I can do it easily means that I worked against my genetics using this method.
  • Haha just realized this was in the off-topic section. Or maybe it was just moved, either way ignore my post.

    I'm never going to be big, I honestly think it's in my genes. Years ago I used to go to the gym and lift weights most nights with the odd rest day. I ate tons of protein and tried several programs and I never got any bigger.

    What did happen is the muscles I had just got rock solid and I felt a lot more in control of my body.

    My most recent plan saw me get down to a shredded 72 kgs (6ft 2 tall) I had 4% body fat according to the calliper and tests I did. I did drop to 69 a coupke of weeks after stopping that exerciae plan which was too lean, my face looked a bit boney! I then tried to bulk up, but it simply didn't work. I lost faith and kind of gave up, then immediately ended up putting on 5kgs from the crap I was using to bulm up when it caught up with me and it mostly looked like fat

    I've given up on the whole bulking thing now, I just try to eat moderately healthy and run / stretch 3 times a week. I'm sat at 74 kilos now, at 36 I think that's the best I can do now.
