      Ok decided to make a journal. Tried a few months ago but went off track, so really looking to improve lol. Anyway my aim is to quite simply bulk and add size onto my skinny frame. I'm 21 and weigh about 10.5 stone (weight fluctuates). I find it hard to gain any kind of weight!

      Routine I will be the following three day split:

      PULL
      Deadlift
      Dumbbell Rows
      Chins
      Barbell Curl

      PUSH
      Flat barbell
      Overhead Press
      Incline Press
      Tricep cable pull downs
      Dips

      LEGS
      Squats
      Leg curls
      Calve Raises (leg press machine)
      Abs

      Monday/Wednesday/Friday but may not always be able to follow those exact days. Is that a bad thing?

      4 sets each with 6-8 reps. Apart from Calves and Abs obviously.

      As for diet, I'm looking to get around:
      2500-3000 calories
      152g protein
      344g carbs
      95g fat

      This is based on some online calculator so if anyone thinks that's too much/too little let me know. I'll post what I eat each day here as I don't have a set plan at the moment.

      My lifts are pretty poor but I'm going to start lower than usual and try to increase once I manage 8 reps on each lift with ease.

      Reluctantly, here is a pic of me (don't laugh). Not the best angle to judge but as you can see...physique of a prepubescent boy imo. Look at the pathetic arms :(
