So Guys, been training seriously for approx 2 months now. albeit only the last 3 weeks have i checked out my calorie intake and discovered that its not enough (im also a vegetarian).
So after i get back from holiday middle of next month i'll begin my bulking phase.

Your comments please.

Keep at it, it's very early days yet to start noticing any major changes, post some photos in about 6 months time before and after. Train hard and heavy and you should have them muscles popping in no time patience is the key

Well seeing as that has nothing to do with how he looks muscle wise i'll chip in. You look like a typical skinny-fat guy but have a good base to build on. What diet do you have planned? As said above, keep at it though mate and you'll see changes with a surplus amount of calories, the right nutrition, enough rest and a good training regime.

whats your planned diet/training split like mate?

You have a good starting base.. but give it a year and then take a look.. its a long process when ur natty.. but be consistant with diet and training and you'll make steady progress ;) good luck and stick with it... good start!

Fargo - good that you posted photos, so you can look back on them, and to the average guy in the st you have a fairly lean body, but on here you would be seen as skinny and at the beginner stage, but looks like you have a good base to build from, but a bit early to be asking about your shape as there isn't much anyone can say.

thanks for the comments so far

@the tat lovers, that back piece was 10 hours worth, just started my arm piece



As for the training, currently a 3 day split but looking to change it up after holiday adding compound moves for all round mass building.

I aim for 3 sets of 10, and on each set increasing the weight, which might mean reducing the reps to 8 or 6, but i have the intention of going for 10. always forward never backward.

Training Day 1 Bi's & Chest

BP Flat & Incline
DB incline flys
DB bicep curls alternating
DB BP
EZ bar reverse grip curls

Training Day 2 Tri's & Back

Close grip seated pulley
Pull ups
Dips or Seated weighted dips.
Lat pull down
Pull down machine (the one where you can strap yourself in and the bars work independently of each other)
Cable single tricep pushdown
bar cable pushdown but reverse grip.
Cable crossover thing (standing facing machine with arms crossed then open arms to crusifix position/motion)

Training Day 3 Legs & Shoulders

Cable single leg push machine
Squats
Military Press
DB Press
Cable machine, pulley at the bottom, grip bar with tow hands and pull up to chin bending arms, then strainght into facing other way, gripping end of bar and raise keeping arms straight.

Abs on all weights days in the form of mixed ab floor work.
Cardio comes from martial arts inbetween the weights days of 2x 1.5 hour sessions a week.(krav maga and capoeria)

eating habits have changed, cut out the crap, going for unprocessed foods. calorie intake peaks at approx 2000, so as i say after the holiday gona add a couple of shakes (currently have been having protein shakes) made with 100g oats, 50g protein, banana) which should add 500calories a pop, twice a day..
