Oh my...where shall I begin...? Gain weight first before thinking about building up muscles? What kind of "weight" do you think he'll be gaining if he doesn...

I'm 1.8m tall, 60kg. I gym occasionally, at most twice per week. I'm focusing on training on my chest muscles and triceps. I bought this push-up bars and 7.5kg dumb bells at home.

This is my daily routine unless I gym that day.

20 push-ups for 6 sets and am doing the horizontal weight lifting to train my triceps. I wanna ask if drinking protein will help in this simple daily routine of mine in helping me build up my chest and triceps?

And things I can do at home to train my chest and triceps at home without much equipments?

i think u should gain some mass first. 60kg for a 1.8m is too skinny.

coldzero SG

How? I eat a lot, but hardly gain in mass.

selfobliged SG

dont skip meals…need to have a balanced diet.

coldzero SG

lol. I dont skip meals. Sometimes even 4-5 meals per day + snacks at night. (snacks as in fruits and bread)

selfobliged SG

hmmm...perhaps u are too active Razz

eagle SG

coldzero SG

Bro, at a height of 1.8m, I seriously don't think 60kg is the stage where you should be trying to "focus" on your chest and triceps.

I'm 1.83m, currently 75kg, but I still consider myself to be slightly on the slim side... I used to be in the 60+kg range, and I know from personal experience that it's not a pretty sight. When I was 60+kg, I had a pencil for a neck, toothpicks for legs, and twigs for arms. And of course, nearly my entire ribcage could be seen when I took off my shirt - a fact that I was not very proud of (especially around girls).

All I'm saying, man, is that you got to GAIN MASS OVERALL, just as one person already advised you. There are tons of advice and sample workouts here - all you have to do is read and apply.

Should I get weight gainer instead or whey protein? From what I see, weight gainer contains more protein and can help me gain some weight too..

eagle SG

Not training properly wouldn't make you any better even if you get whey protein.

Unless you are an intermediate to advanced gymmer, the extra protein you take in would probably go to waste => expensive urine.

For now, train hard, eat hard. Think about this when you can do all the compound movements properly.

take 6 scoops a day and you'll be fat in no time Mr. Green

Simon Dean SG

I hope you are joking.6 scoops a day is overkill..

galapogos SG

Well he did say FAT Smile

TS: you need to gain weight first before even thinking about building up your muscles. Like that the workouts you do would only harm the body as your body is evidently not strong enough to grow bigger muscles.

Increase your body mass first.
