thescrawnycaveman Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hey there everyone! I am new to the forum and wanted to just say hi. I'm Zack, I've been reading a lot of nerdfitness lately so I figured I would take a look at the forums and I decided to sign up. I'm looking to get in better shape, aka not look like a twig's twig, and this seems like the best place to start. I eat mostly paleo (except grassfed beef, I don't have the money right now to get it regularly, so its the normal bad meat currently) and I love it. I started doing it about 3 weeks ago, so I've decided to take the next step and start working out a lot more too. My body is still adjusting to the demand, but hopefully soon I can get back to my fitness level I was at a year ago (before I went to college). Any other skinny guys out there who are trying to gain some muscle mass? Any have some suggestions for us? Much appreciated! Cheers, Zack Quote Link to comment

Cheers,ZackWelcome aboard brother!Skinny paleo guy here...though I haven't been paleo since I began my trip...but now that I'm back in the states I hope to start doing it again once I get back to Massachusetts. What's your weight, and how much do you want to weigh approximately?How do you feel about dairy/whole milk?-Steve Quote Rebel Leader.

thescrawnycaveman Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks Alpha, I will most certainly "bump it" as you say. Steve, thanks for the welcome, I am 150lbs and 5 foot 10 inches. I want to weigh closer to 170 if I can, though that may be a little bit of a lofty goal. And other than the taste of milk, I'm not totally against it if it was important to gaining muscle mass/weight. Quote Link to comment
CapN_Tommy_Sunshine Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Welcome to the Rebellion! There are plenty of skinny guys trying to gain some muscle around here (I am not one of them, although I am trying to gain muscle). We will all tell you this: lift heavy -- compound lifts such as dead lifts, squats, presses, rows; and eat heavy (a lot of clean food, plenty of animal protein). As for grassfed v. conventional meat, I wouldn't worry too much about it if you cannot afford it. In an ideal situation, sure, I would recommend grassfed, however, if you drop the processed foods, grains, and sugar, you will be doing better than 90% of the population. Quote Link to comment
