I will start off by saying :salute: to everyone in this thread, I'm really inspired by it.

Ive always been a skinny dude, the biggest i have been was 195 and that was in college when i was playing ball and later on when i played semi pro. My eating habits are bad because half the time i don't eat until 1pm because I'm running around handing business. I want to get back to at least 195 but I'm aiming for 200+ Im 6'3 so i think it would look good on me.

Starting pic. I will keep the thread updated

p.s. if anyone can help me get started with a meal plan and a good bulking routine i would appreciate it. Don't make fun on my belly button

I've been dieting and doing body weight exercises, yoga, and some light cardio for the past year and a half. Dropped more than 20lbs and kept it off. I'm at 180 and ready to get more serious. So...

Is there any value in doing sit-ups and crunches?

IMO, there is value in doing ab/core exercises if you are training to be a serious athlete, or have other serious athletic goals. if not, i think that weightlifting will cover it (squats, bp, dl), and even if you arent doing that, body weight exercises like planks, mountain climbers, and pushups combined with yoga and light cardio are more than enough

Really glad I found this thread, man. Salute to all you guys for real. Been trying to stay consistent but I just haven't been seeing the results I'd like to lately and it was starting to discourage me. Been trying to get rid of the damn pouch on my lower stomach for a minute now and that shyt is stubborn as hell brehs :sadbron: after reading through this thread I went back and tried to find any pics that showed me some kind of progress to lift my spirits, and I was shocked at just how flabby I used to be... like, holy shyt


this is me at my all time flabbiest. 2nd year of law school and I was studying a lot so I wasn't hitting the gym and I was eating fast food a lot because it was just that, fast. Excuse the picture quality, I had a StruggleBerry back then and I had just gotten out the shower and the mirror was still wet

took the following pic a few weeks back. I've lost about 3 more pounds since this pic was taken and I've started to see more definition in my chest and abs since then. Not nearly where I want to be, but a long way from the pic above :obama:
