Genetics are a killer

https://imgur.com/a/TRjCr20

How can someone be skinny and fat at the same time?

Seriously, I struck the genetic lottery

Sloped narrow shoulders and narrow clavicles-Check
Puffy nipples-Check
Large ribcage with a small frame-check
U probably cant make it out but there's a line under my chest where I had a bone protrude from for the first few months of my life.

It's just demoralising. Should I just cut?(Cut to what?)

'skinny fat' isn't as complicated as it sounds, OP.

Take a guy with no appreciable muscle mass, have him LDAR (say, 4 years of hardcore WoW plus university), and he'll pack on some pounds too, almost all fat. Skinny fat is awful because you have an appreciable amount of fat without an appreciable level of muscle mass.

But the upshot is: lifting helps.

Why tf would I be on a bodybuilding site and not lift? I do lift, I'm pretty strong for my size.

The misc is always the ****ing same, LIFT MORE. I do lift, I go really hard too. The fact I've persisted is a testament to my will-power if I'm honest.

If you donโ€™t have good genetics then take care of your diet. Stop chugging beer and eating fries and do some heavy lifting

Just because you see a guy with good genetics eating junk and still looking good doesnโ€™t mean you can away with it too if you have average genetics

I drink max once a month. I haven't had any bad food, I'm living away and have to keep my expenditure down, My diet is basically eggs, porridge, fish, rice, spinach, peppers, tomatoes, 1 slice of bread with my eggs, cheese, tuna, asparagus, mixed leaf salad. I know this because I buy the same **** every week

But thanks, that's more the type of reply I was looking for.

Working out is relative I guess. I feel like I go hard in the gym, my lifts are not insane or anything but I don't **** around either. Also you can't even see my legs in those photos, you can see my calves which SHOCK, are naturally very skinny.

a series of short tasks over a relatively longer period of time is life. altruistic light moves under the cover of your own darkness.. find this inner torch bearer and accompany them to the end. we all walk together, but we all walk alone. there is no understanding or purpose beyond that

I just follow Coolicada's PPL, maybe I should bail on it.

Abs usually involves running at 8 miles per hour for 12 minutes on a 2 incline. Then I do hanging leg raises, roman chairs, planks(hold for 2 minutes and pause) TBH, my core is strong but I could do more.

tbh i just dont think you lift hard enough. i fukn forced my muscle to grow after a few years of trial and error. it's a learning process and you basically are either not:

eating enough clean foods
lifting with enough intensity / weight
RESTING enough

if you drink alcohol and eat pizza drop that chit and figure it out

Yeah fair, all you can go on is the pictures. I don't feel like I don't push myself but that's relative, maybe it should be tougher. I'm not a beer guy(I drink a few times a month but just gin or something) I only ever drink water, don't like candy, haven't money for pizza atm haha.

this is the case 99.9% of the time

op m8, 9 sets for back is absolute piss. If low volume isn't working triple that chit srs. You have nothing to lose by going balls deep for a month and seeing if it makes you actually grow. It took my hamstrings and triceps so much volume to grow you wouldn't fckin believe.

This. Go lift. Stop being lazy. Learn how to lift properly. It's possible to work hard and still accomplish next to nothing.
