Through With Being Skinny "Rippetoe"

New member
Hey Guys this is my 1st Journal ever and m looking forward to it and getting help when i need it!

Body Type: im pretty skinny im 6 foot with no shoes one and i weigh about 137 pounds on a good day

The biggest reason im doing this is of course to gain a little weight for basketball.

The workout i will be doing will be rippetoes and im going to do it until it stopes working and once i get further into the program i will add a few exercises the rippetoe thinks is necessary.

Diet: ......my diet is probably not the best right now i eat fast food about 2 or 3 times a week and have a lot of soda, but this summer i will be very active in baseball and swimming in my pool. I try to eat a lot of "good" food like green vegatables, grains, meat...just pretty much any good food to help me gain a lottle weight

So there it is i will be starting rippetoes tomorrow and will update it after every workout and will be working out on mod/wed/fri

SO SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW!

You ARE a skinny fella. Your main focus should be eating as much as you possibly can. Eat til you get sick and then eat some more. You will only gain weight by eating more food. Good luck.

Tell me about it. I was 6'2 and 140 in middle school. I finally got to 175 by high school, same height. I am now about 215, but I have been eating clean and a lot. Cutting is a sinche for me.
 
Sounds like me when i was in high school too. 5'11" and 140. 175-180 now.

Eating a solid breakfast is very important, and of course the 6 other meals throughout the day you will need to eat.

Stick around, and dont stop eating you will gain weight
 
ya but its kinda hard for me to eat the 6 meals a day right now because school, but our last day is on thursday so after that ill try to eat everything in sight!

You can do it bro. I was 6'2" and about 160. Now I'm 220, and still gaining. Of course I'm 35. I took a lot of time off between first year of college until early 2001. So, my 60 lbs came over the last 7 years (most of it in the first 2-3 years).
 
30 pounds in less than 3 months would be pretty impressive. but i'm assuming your pretty young and still growing so who knows, but i would say by aug. 20th you could def. gain 20. in highschool i was pretty thin until the summer before my junior year. i used to drink a weight gainer shake right before bed, i think it was clutch. enjoy this time and eat, because one day you may not have that luxury. when i was a teenager my metabolism was through the roof. now im only 24 and i would say it is slower than most guys my age, hard for me to cut but putting on muscle mass is no problem, so enjoy it and stuff your face. :chomp:

do casein protein before bed. Whey before bed won't stay in your blood all night like casein will.

hey guys i have 2 quick questions about stalling and restalling...

lets say im benching and i took off about 15 pounds from my 5 rep max, how many pounds SHOULD i expect before i have to restall again?

And about how many times should i be restalling on exercises before rippetoes stops working?

i notice these answers vary depending on the person but please give me your best judgement

thanks!

hey guys sorry i missed my friday workout but with the flood and everything i just didnt have time
Click to expand...

A flood... that must suck. Either way I hope you and your stuff is okay and that you will be back shortly.

Either way I just stumbled across this and I think your lifts are already pretty good for your weight. Last year I started and I was in the 60-100lb range on all my lifts for a very long time. Just takes time to strengthen your ligaments, muscles and tendons to the point where they can take some serious weight.

Just don't give up and make sure to keep good form on every lift. If you can't do a lift with excellent form keep working on it with low weight until you can do it well.

Otherwise good luck, I've followed many journals but most of them just randomly stop with no explanation, hope yours doesn't.
 
hey guys sorry i have been missing my workouts but we have another family staying with us now because of the flood so i havent had much time, but i promise i will workout tomorrow and then on saturday and then start back up on my regular days on monday...cya tomorrow

id stay at it for another workout or 2 and if nothing changes, drop the weight 5 pounds and do a lighter bench and then back up again the next workout, that usually helps me get though a plateau
 
WORKOUT # 8 - DAY B - THURSDAY - WEEK 3

SQUAT: 140 lbs 5/5/5
these werent too bad i got all 15 reps so i was happy i should be able to get all 15 reps with 145!

MILITARY PRESS: 60 lbs 5/5/5
these werent too bad either, i should be able to do all 15 reps with 65 lbs.

BARBELL ROWS: 75 lbs 5/5/5
these were also pretty easy!

Dips: 2 x 8

Very happy with this workout considering i got all 15 reps on all exercises and none of them were too hard.

OVERALL WORKOUT TIME: 52 minutes...this was the longest workout yet because i waited a little longer in between sets because before i dont think i was waiting 2-3 minutes!

See ya on Saturday!!
 
WORKOUT # 9 - DAY A - SUNDAY - WEEK 3

SQUAT: 145 lbs 5/5/5
very happy with these they wwrent as bad as i thought they would be!

BENCH PRESS: 100 lbs 5/4/2
:( i was happy with the 1st set where i got all 5 of them but dont even ask me about the 2...im going to stay where i am for next time.

DEADLIFT: 135 lbs 5/
these werent too bad considering there were only 5 of them

CHIN-UPS: 2 x 8

I know my bench press isnt where it should be but how bad is 100 pounds when u weigh 135, with long skinny arms???
 
dont worry about how bad something is man its all good in my book. to each his own. just keep eating and lifting and soon you will be asking how 135 is at 135.
 
WORKOUT # 10 - DAY B - WEDNESDAY - WEEK 4

SQUAT: 150 lbs 5/5/5

WORKOUT # 11 - DAY A - TUESDAY - WEEK 5

SQUAT: 155 lbs 4/5/5
im not sure why but the sets get easier as i went on maybe i didnt have enough warm up sets...ill move up to 160 next week :)

BENCH: 100 lbs 4/4/3
im not sure if i could have got the last rep in the first 2 and i didnt have a spotter so i didnt go for it.

DEADLIFT: 140 lbs 5/
these were pretty tough but i got all 5 so im happy :)

Cable Crunches

CHIN-UPS: 2 x 8

Im pretty happy with my workout, ill still stay at 100 for the bench and hopefully in about a week it will be enough to move up to 105.

Tomorrow i might post what i ate for the day :)
 
Great work. Keep it up bro. The 3x5 program is awesome.
 
Having just read rippetoe... simple compound lifts and a gallon of milk a day sounds like a good equation for a young skinny man.

I'm not convinced us old guys can throw on the calories like that without the aid of some externally acquired testosterone.

I do wish I'd read this book 25 years ago though.

You need to pretty much double that. Those 5pm and 8pm meals each need some protein and you need to eat again before you go to sleep -- something with protein like a piece of meat or a cassein shake. Also, try to fit in another meal between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner. You should shoot for at least 6 meals a day.

You are on the right track! Just keep tweaking your diet and lifting heavy and getting lots of sleep and your body will be able to do nothing BUT grow.
 
hey guys im sorry i havent been working out lately ive been really busy with basketball and tomorrow i leave on vacation and i will get back next sat and the next day i have a 5 day basketball camp so right when i get back from that im just going to reset on all my exercises and start over haveing about a month off :(
