From Skeleton Mode to Muscle Mod?
Okay Reddit, I’m officially DONE being the skinny friend.
25M, 1.80m (5’11”), 110 lbs.
I’ve been skinny my whole life. People tell me “bro you’re lucky, you can eat whatever you want” but plot twist: I can’t even eat that much because my appetite is tiny. I try to sleep 8 hours but sometimes life says “lol no” and I end up with 5–6.
Current routine: 40 push-ups a day, 1:20 plank, Rest on Sundays.
But lately something switched in me. I’m tired of being skinny. I want MUSCLE. I want to fill out a T-shirt without needing the wind’s assistance. I want people to say “damn he lifts”.
So Reddit: If you were once a broomstick like me and actually transformed… HOW DID YOU DO IT? How did you force yourself to eat more? What beginner routine actually works for hardgainers? What should I avoid so I don’t waste another year being a decorative twig?
Drop your wisdom, your memes, your routines, anything. I’m ready for my villain arc.
Let’s grow.
