I want to be bulkier !!!!!!

dont think abuot supps bro food is so much better than any supp out there

I disagree. Nothing wrong with a good protein shake. Whey isoalte is very easy to drink and I can get 100 grams of protein from a shake between meals WAY easier than eating 12-14 ounces of chicken or beef. I can drink that and eat again in an hour or two. And it's digested easier than that steak or chicken for sure, giving me more protein actually being used by my body.

I like creatine and a few other "helpers" for the hyper hydration factor it can give you (of course you need to drink a bunch of water). Holding more water helps your joints feel better and helps you lift more weight.

Get some protein powder. It makes it a lot easier to get in the amount you need, as CEO said.

Also, regarding your deadlift, it's ok to increase by smaller increments if you think 5 kg is too much, just keep making steady progress. Go up by 2 kg or whatever the next smallest increments you have if you dont think you can keep up the 5s.

today had workout b , im training at home and it was a hot day outside!

squat 100 kg
presses 53 kg
rows 52 kg

on presses i struggled on the last set only got 3 reps form was not so good.

rows is starting to become a bitch, first set i did pendlay rows i hate these now because it dont feel like its working my back i raise the bar to the middle of stomach, 2nd set i thought try standard bent over rows, this feels better but again cant find a squeez in my upper back muscles . i think i got a technique issue so any help will do wonders

Goood bro for posting your workouts, KEEP IT UP DUDE!!
On bent over rows in general,
The more toward your waist you go the more you focus on lower middel back and lats.
The more toward your chin you go the more you focus on upper middle back to and including rear delts.
If you cannot feel the squeeze in your upper back, adjust where you are pulling the bar up to on your body and you may be using too much weight to actually get the shrug in to flex the upper back muscles.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I tryed creatine and got no noticeable effects from it, but some people seem to like it so whatever lol.

One of the things I did as a beginner was take too much protein powder, And one of the best things I did as a beginner was stop buying it for 6 months or so. This forced me to rely on real food, after a while my protein intake was made up from mainly chicken eggs and milk, with steak every few days too. Then I re-added in protein powder for post workotu use only, and if Im running real late in the morning sometimes I will have a shake and some fruit or somethign like that, but I keep that to a minimum.

So yes if you can keep a good diet the addition of a shake or two a day can help, but I would say dont take it too far and replace much real food with shakes, some might disagree but everyone has their own opinion...

poor form during the squats is most likely the reason. you dont want to do that to much.
