Exclamation How to become a real muscled man?

Hi there! I am new here! I hope that I can find many interesting and helpful people in this place!

I would like to change my physical outlook. Currently I weight only 55 kg which is very little for my age. I want to gather muscle volume, so that I can look like a real man. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks in advance!

i've always heard that squats and deadlifts put on the most mass. the combination of deadlifts and olympic lifts have made the biggest changes in my body, even though that's not my intent.

fuscia, I don't understand the terms "squats" and "deadlifts".

raffytaffy, I manage to get about 6-7 hours sleep each day and about 1-2 kg food each day. Is this ok?

Deadlift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Squat (exercise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

i think a deadlift is the safer one to start with, as you are holding the weight in your hands rather than on your shoulders.

I think what you're looking for is penis enlargement medication. Check your email inbox

Why not just do it the way I did it?

First, have aspirations to get higher education but get no emotional or financial support (i.e. don't go to university). Then get some computer jobs because you're smart, but the bosses will probably piss you off, so quit.

Then get a string of jobs in construction or some sort of industrial shop where you have to sweat a lot and do heavy lifting. This may strain your joints, and you may even be maimed or killed, but that's why you go to the pub after work and consume enormous quantities of beer.

You may develop a bit of a "gut," but you'll also be strong and muscled (and optionally bearded). Bitterness and resentment are possible side effects. Repeat as necessary.

I hope this helps!

if i were you, i wouldn't bother.
if you are wanting to build up muscle to attract the opposite sex and think women find that look attractive, think again. they don't.

you are best off just building up muscle TONE. not muscle size.

btw you do realise that when you stop exercising, all that muscle turns to fat, don't you?

eat 5-7 meals a day. try to balance macros in this fashion : (10 part whole = 1 meal) 5 part protein / 3 part fat / 2 part carb. Do all your lifting in the morning time as natural testosterone is highest in the morning time. Don't drink alcohol as it increases your cortisol which is known to burn muscle for energy. Don't eat simple sugars ( HFCS - high fructose corn syrup) usually found in soda and fast foods. In fact avoid take out all together, try to eat what you make, that way you know what's in it. Try not to take over the counter medications as they are known to cause problems in the gym ( lack of energy ).

well, anyway, here's why muscle does not turn into fat: muscle cells and fat cells are entirely different from one another (it would be easier to turn gold into lead) and muscle cells are never going to turn into fat cells. ok, you might ask "but, dr. fuscia, won't i still get fat if i stop exercising?" yeah, you might, if you consume more than you burn. but, this is true if you never exercised at all (it's not as if adding muscle increases your chances to become obese. quite the contrary). the more muscle (active tissue) you have, the slower you will gain fat.

Eat healthy, exercise accordingly.
Lift weights and drink a muscle-building-aid such as "MaxiMuscle".

It's working for me, but I don't eat healthy.

c) it turns to flab and you get fat.

option c is the correct one.

No. I don't have this problem. Btw, my email is full of spam messages about penis enlargement. How pathetic and ironic!

No, it doesn't. My problem is serious. I have heard enough nonsense.

Who said anything about "oposite" sex? And why do you think I want to be attractive? As I said - I want to look like a man. Not like a skinny boy.

Hmm, this sounds complicated to me. At least I started eating honey instead of sugar This makes some progress!?

No food aids. Sorry. I can't afford them.
