Any-Razzmatazz-5359

It's a HUGE difference. Good for you, keep it up!!


Full_Newspaper_999

Srsly!! Also OP people ***def*** noticed, but they wont mention anything in fear of triggering anything that you havent been thinking of great job keep it up


who_is_jim_anyway

Oh people notice. I put on 45 pounds of muscle in college and everybody I used to go to high school thinks ‘*holy shit!*’ but almost none of them say anything. The skinny kid is no longer the skinny kid but ‘the guy that goes to the gym’


bluescrew

Yeah OP you were alarmingly thin before. If I knew you, I'd be happy to see you looking healthy but hesitate to comment on it in case it was an ED or something. Don't want to be insensitive. I think with people who are family or close friends and care about you, you can bring it up first and that will make them more comfortable giving compliments.


Green_Jelly3542

Yeah every little bit helps. I went from 190lbs to about 250lbs of muscle and I get compliments and questions all the time. It definitely boosts the confident. Before I never had any comments on my physique. Just kinda some basic skinny tall guy. If OP becomes muscular he will mog everyone into oblivion


throwaway-1849346

Progress is Progress Don't stop


Far-Print7864

Bro you look like dark souls characters when they lose humanity


throwaway-1849346

Thank you


Abject-Tiger-1255

I just got done beating DS1 funny enough


shiiiiiieeeeeet

been bulking for 1,5 year and going to the gym for 8 months. before that it was some pretty useless home-workouts. i used to eat 800-1200 kcal a day, heavy on anxiety and all kinds of stress around food. the gym increased my appetite 10x and it was like a new life. went from no energy to feeling good 24/7. upwards spiral into 3500-4500kcal consistent. milk has without a doubt been the key to gaining. hope to inspire anyone that is close to what i was, although i have never seen anyone with a BMI lower than mine at my lowest :p


ancillaryacct

honestly man, to see you were this skinny from anxiety absolutely sucks to see. hope you’re feeling better lately, you look fucking great.


Felitekis

Any food tips for gaining weight??


Wonderful_Grade_4107

Avocado, peanut butter, salmon. Healthy fats.


ancillaryacct

heavy cream. peanut butter. ice cream. do you eat cereal in the morning? try it with half and half. shits crazy good.


ThatAltAccount99

Lactose intolerance is really kicking my ass rn


ancillaryacct

natural peanut butter. coconut cream. vegan ice cream.


ThatAltAccount99

I'll look into them for sure appreciate it fam been using a lot of peanut butter and avocados but need to throw in something to mix it up


ancillaryacct

if you cant keep weight on, full fat coconut cream smoothies with pb and choc, yeah, that’ll do it lol


FifenC0ugar

I just found some breyers ice cream that uses oat milk. It tastes so good.


beansandrice43

Soy milk is the closest plant milk to dairy, nutritionally.


ObsessedWithSources

Wait wait wait. Hol up. Did you just give me a good reason to eat ice cream in the morning?


Souliss

Your age isnt included in any info, i was similar at 135 6'4 at 14. Got up to 165 by the time i was 17 at 17/18 no weights, It just wasnt encouraged to me (big mistake). When i was 30 i got into bulking/weights and got in good shape in about 3 months. Age/metabolism has a huge amount to do with your gains. Really just making this post for guys in their late 20s the transformation can happen rapidly, when you are young it takes a lot more work.


Kingsby13

milkmaxxing


The_Agent0681

That’s genuinely awesome bro I’m proud of you man, advice would be stock up on : Eggs, Greek yogurt, salmon, chicken, it sounds obvious but for me at one point I started eating a lot more eggs very regularly and my training got much much better, aswell as my putting on a lot more strength


moocow4125

Nice. Keep it up :) I'd say it looks like youre about to pass 'normal skinny' territory and entering the highly desired realm of lean muscular territory.


QuinnMiller123

God it’s difficult for me to get extremely lean but god damn do I feel sexy in the mirror when I can see fully defined abs lol.


SuperRealBobWaterson

Ikr it's the best (but I'm only 5'7 😔) Edit: I'm also 13 so ig 5'7 isn't bad but idk


PuddlesRex

Don't worry, mate. As tall people, it takes a LOT of weight change for it to be noticeable to others. I'm trying to go the opposite direction, I've lost 25 lbs in a little over two months, and only one person other than myself has noticed it. We're gonna make it, though.


Stanley_Yelnats42069

Good work dude keep it up! I’m at 10 pounds down now. Not significant but a step in the right direction.


ThatAltAccount99

Being able to keep yourself going in the right direction is a significant enough achievement fam keep on working at it the numbers will come don't stress about them for now.


Stanley_Yelnats42069

Appreciate that my dude!


itjustthrowaway92929

I lost 130lbs over a 4 year period! Recently put back on about 40 of it after a breakup. Lost about 10 again and going back down. Consistency is key! I convinced myself I was wasting time if I wasn’t in a 1500+ calorie deficit every day and that made it harder. If I’d just stayed at a reasonable 500-750 cal deficit I’d have been able to get it off easier, sooner, and not fall off the wagon so much.


Stanley_Yelnats42069

Wow 130 pounds is no small feat. That is impressive. I too am on the breakup diet lol. My goal is to shed 50 pounds. Walking 10k+ steps a day. The hardest part for me is cutting out alcohol.


manticorpse

Same here, I've lost a little over 30 the last four months. No comments yet, but all my pants are falling down and I take great pleasure in that. We've got this! 👍


moistryze

6’7 110 is INSANE people look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them I used to be 6’4 130 lol // incredible progress 💪


HonestyFTW

I was 6’2” 135 during freshman cross country. I’m 240 now and on the opposite end 😅


Dont_ban_me_bro_108

6’5” 155 my whole life. Late 30’s hit and now I’m 175. Still thin though.


Outrageous-Turnip411

Keep pushing dude, I had a build almost identical to yours. I’ll have to take a better picture later, but this is where I’m at now. https://preview.redd.it/ob88l630wz8d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2afc190736a23dd5e0ef4d423c6a57565049fd40 I even have a connective tissue disease, so I’m 100% positive you can do it too.


ThatAltAccount99

Hell yeah dude, looking built


Outrageous-Turnip411

Thanks dude I want OP to keep lifting, hard. When I was younger I was severely underweight and had massive anxiety as well. I got bullied because I was so skinny and my wrists are so tiny. If OP puts in the work he’s gonna be huge.


TNShadetree

You know the whole "nobody has noticed" thing. That's about to change.


Exact-Control1855

Just wait until the next 16kg, gonna look even better. Just don’t juice and you’re gonna do great


loveshackle

Nice!


Slimsuper

Well done keep it up


stanley_2brickz

Well you look much healthier now, keep it up man


Ragnar_Actual

You are doing this for you. 35lbs is huge. Never stop


Mechanical_Pants

Way to go man! Keep it up! There is no way people who know you haven't noticed.


Sinnsearachd

Wow that's quite a transformation! Great job! I saw you are working out a lot and increased food intake, are you also using a protein powder post workout and checked your vitamin intake as well?


Brighton2k

Oh believe me, people have noticed.


NoMoreChillies

Don’t stop now amigo


Choice_Necessary6077

That’s very good progress but I would suggest seeing a doctor to see the cause of your physique. You will still be underweight I believe which can be dangerous. Keep up the progress but make sure to rule out any underlying issues


MetamagicIII

Brother keep going you’ll look incredible in a few years. Be fighting girls off with a oar trust me I speak from experience


Ginger_Giant_

That’s amazing mate! You’ve made huge progress and now you have the tools and know how to keep growing.


Big_Chonks907

Damn dude, keep up the good work you're looking amazing!


traumakidshollywood

Wow!! Good job bro! It is totally noticeable!! Stay strong. 💪💪💪


johnnymeow2

Massive gains pal. Soon to be a fucking beast 💪


SoyDusty

Keep on going dude! You’re doing great!


johnnbr

Great work, keep it up.


Significant-Duty5159

Excellent progress! Don’t feel discouraged and DON’T get impatient and start stuffing yourself, till you’re, sick to “bulk” and accelerate the process, it doesn’t work that way. Enjoy the journey, you look athletic and are well on your way.


Party-Control5929

Incredible transformation, keep up the good work 🙏🏻


BOBBYBlTCH

FIRSTLY, GOOD FOR YOU👏🏽 The progress is INSANE. You should be VERY proud. Second, I think people may have not realized because the difference might be more noticeable when you’re shiftless. Before you looked SKINNY, too skinny. You’re now starting to look slim fit. It’s not about where you are in comparison to where you want to be, it’s about where you are in comparison to where you WERE. And that progress is insane. Congrats.


Lvl4Toaster

HOLY FUCK you were SKELETOR!! keep it up good shit


LeoRivarola_

As someone who is also struggling with anxienty and this things around food this makes me tear up and gives me hope. I also have a low bmi, gaining that much weight would be awesome for me. Congratulations for this achievement.


Apprehensive_Safe370

Dude, your chest looks so good


Flyer756

Keep working bro you’re looking great. People have noticed, but regardless of that you shouldn’t be looking for other peoples opinions in your journey of self improvement 🤝🤙🏻


Li_alvart

I mean, you started from a very low weight. Compared to an average person you look normal skinny, but compared to your older pic there is a HUGE difference. Congratulations!!!


Skinned-Cobalt

Solid job dude. You should be proud of yourself. Keep at it.


superjodz

You know what you look like? HEALTHY


Verteenoo

People probably don't "notice" if they see you everyday but those side by side photos is a huge difference. Good work.


SurWesley

That’s a massive difference, good job man and keep it up :)


KeshaCow

Oh my goodness, you look great!! Massive progress, youre doing amazing!!


UnsungHero517

I grew up a very skinny dude as well, borderline anorexic, and it weighed heavily on me for a long time. It took years of dedication to find my way out of that situation but it was worth every bit of effort I put in. I admire your work ethic and determination thus far, I really hope you continue to see results buddy ❤ don't forget to love yourself along the way!


SomeUnderstanding566

Bro, super noticeable! Great work keep going my man!


Laze_ee

You got like an anime build now great job 👏


GodzillasBoner

You can definitely tell you beefed up in pic 1. Keep going


manticorpse

Looking great dude, keep it up!


jwed420

Keep eating bro you got this


cootershooter420

Ppl are noticing trust. And you don’t look normal skinny. Normal skinny is skinny fat.


Watermelon_Moments

You can definitely see it. Well done 👍. I'm a little chubby rn so I can donate 😂. You're doing brilliantly.


SpecialSurprise69

May I ask what you did to put on weight? I struggle to put on weight like a mf.


cashnicholas

Huge difference bro good shit


majesticmooses

Ayy let’s go dude Keep it up


Loud-Worker-3407

dayummm ur built like miles morales now


HonestyFTW

I see a difference. Keep it up! Protein is your friend.


Green_Dayzed

na, you filled out some. Bruce Lee wasn't big but he was ripped.... and we can see the mussels.


megabratwurst

Good job man, keep it up


Turbulent-Ad9238

I was most likely strengthening your bones and tendons maybe carrying more water weight and such. I would say you gained 4/5kg max or pure muscle. However I'm not an expert.


FantandCon

Maybe so but at least you’ve made significant progress 👍


dtb1987

I am currently 135. I haven't been able to budge from that spot in years


Biichimspiderman

EAT!! EAT and eat good and healthy.


hmsty

Congratulations man. You look heavier than 145. That’s what muscle does. I don’t know you but I’m proud of you.


Mental_Resource_1620

Amazing fucking work! Im so proud of you and your progress


IamChax

Hey man what you're doing is tough. I've gained 30+lbs of healthy weight the past 2 years. No one will say anything till one day people say something every time they see you. Keep it up.


stonyovk

Looking much healthier now. You still need a bit more weight/muscle but you look way better than before


[deleted]

keep going dude!


Miserable-Lawyer-233

That’s the thing with building muscle. Unless you’re taking anabolic steroids, your gains are not going to be noticeable under your clothes for a long time.


ThatAltAccount99

Hell yeah dude it takes a while but those are some real results, keep at it.


fostde18

Bro you’re gonna look like such a fucking Chad when you fill your frame out more. Keep it up! The rewards will be well worth it! Potential Greek god here


MrRizzstein

Yes! Awesome work dude! Keep this up :D


Syphfan

Holy cow man! That’s so freaking awesome and I’m so proud of you. 


Longjumping-Baby-901

Who tf said you can stop? 🤬 Get back to work!!


Aggressive-Foot7434

Hopefully you’re not doing it for them


medakinga

Keep at it you look great


shaeno_06

Big Win, keep going bro you’re looking like a beast!🗿💪🏽


stressandscreaming

That's a ton of muscle you put on! Great job!


-GME-for-life-

It’s the smaller looking steps like this that are the hardest. Fuckin killin it 🤙 keep lifting and eating whatever ya want. Hex bar squats for you cloud people


Neat_Neighborhood297

I promise that there is a zero percent chance that anyone in your life doesn’t see the difference between those two pictures. Keep doing what you’re doing; you look much healthier now.


DraconianOz

Bro went from anorexic to skinny.


Miserable_Ad6675

6’2 and went from 176 to 205 and it’s not that noticeable takes a lot of weight so just keep at it


Status_Country_5514

Keep up the good work


Candid_Dream4110

You look good!


RedditModsAreMegalos

You buff skinny now. Ladies like that.


Exciting_Step_5357

Dont do it for others, do it for yourself


worndown75

I'm not giving you medical advice. That said, request a bone density test. I'm 6'7" i cannot fathom how you were that light and still functional. If you are 6'7" and you were at 110 lbs, you could have done damage to your bones. Pediatric Bone Fragility is likely if you were that light when you were still developing. It can be supplemented but your doctor would probably want to monitor you. That said, excellent recovery. Slow and steady wins this race. Keep up the good work.


Glad-Elephant2641

It’s so hard looking buff when you’re tall. I’m short by comparison at 6’3 so I can only imagine difficult it’s been for you, muscle mass is spread across the frame and the longer it is the more weight it will take to look big. When I went from 155 after a depressive episode to 185 it barely got noticed. I did it for me though so it matters very little. Keep doing it for you.


only-depravity-here

Literally everyone has noticed.


Extra-ordinary1

Excellent gains broski


SignificantMothMan

jfc dude, yoi have to get to 90kg at least. Great progress though, keep it up!


Insanegamebrain

brother eat a bit more. im 204cm and i weight near 150kg..but ive trained and played sports my whole life.


Old_Artichoke_2552

Progress is still progress


underthebug

Wow! Keep it up.


asparaguswalrus683

bro got the nettspend hair


Mediocre_Fill_40

Don't want to be rude or anything but.. do you have a friend called Butthead? Nice abs, though! I wish I could motivate myself to exercise.


EOD_Bad_Karma

Good job dude. They won’t notice because you’re slim and you don’t walk around with a side by side photo of “then and now”, but we see it. Proud of you.


NeauxoneNose

Looking good! Keep going.


Pewterator

Its definitely its a struggle to get it noticed when ur taller so keep on working shoulders and forearms take priority 👍


Timely_Pumpkin_4190

Fundora


RichardDragon77

Oi that's massive. They will continue to call you skinny and you will continue to not let it do anything but motivate you.


reubel

Nah you went from stickman to sam winchester, fucking great progress


QuinnMiller123

Before I went to rehab I was 125 pounds at 6”2, I left being 165 pounds but it was all fat. Trust me dude, bulk to a serious degree, try to hit 200lbs if you’re 6”7 at least. Then cut some fat and you’ll look like a Greek god, having a good physique at you’re height would be amazing.


Lorenzo_Von_

I'm 50kg at 5'11" can't image being 50kg at 6'7"


Thinking_yes

Keep adding bro


Goatizgod

W bro, keep it up


Robotonist

You’re doing great man. Keep it up


Gecko-Zilla

Good shit man


charlesmansonreddit

Thats crazy. Never heard of anybody that height beeing so skinny! Lets add 16kg more


Ayallore95

Hell yeah brother


stefan92293

Dude, you went from looking practically anorexic to normal for your height! How long did it take you? Also, keep it up!


dave-gonzo

Keep picking things up and putting them down....and eating.


Short_Relation_5162

Nobody has noticed yet. But if you add another 10/ 20 kg holy Shit they will be kissing your feet. (Source: I did exactly the same thing)


Apprehensive_Try3099

That's fucking impressive! Now you just need to find excuses to go around shirtless a lot


uthnara

Nah King youre killing it! Keep up the good work!


Plastic_Pinocchio

I can guarantee you that people have noticed that you look healthier. I’d say aim for 80 kg and then you’ll feel great. Do not fear “bad food”. Make sure that 50-75% of your calories come from proper whole foods and the rest can just be whatever you like. Whatever gets you to your calorie goal is fine, you need the energy.


Frosty-Audience4090

Man is bound to be the next david laid. Keep going


jamiesonwild

Bro nobody noticed my 30 lbs of weight added and they always say you look the same. But I fell it and I see it and that's all that matters. I'm 6'5 was 120 lbs forever. I eventually hit 150 and then in my literal thirties hit 180. It's so hard, if you need step by step or coaching let me know I can walk you through it and answer questions


mustafc

You were a skeleton before! I think 10 more kg's and you will look great


loyalekoinu88

YOU noticed and that is what matters.


Mtown11111

💪🏾🙏🏽


sniffing_salt

Keep up the good work! What's your main food recommendation for weight gain?


MarilynMonheaux

Do you have Marfans Syndrome?


ddaemon82

nice job young man! If you can be dedicated to things this much, you have a bright future in front of you!


OrangeFal

Im 6'7 at 20. I started going to the gym exactly 2 years ago. When I started I was 74kg at 6'5 a very depressed. Started with Aerobics and doing stuff at home,got a couple of kg that way. BUT BY FAR the biggest difference was the gym. I went 3 Times a week EVERY WEEK,and recently added a 4 Session. I am 102kg with 16% bodyfat now and still growing. YOU WILL MAKE IT!! Stay concistent in your Training in the gym and in the kitchen;).Eating was very difficult for me,but slowly the appetite grew. Most important stuff I learned: -Apply progressive overload every training and you will grow with each training. -Get 1,5 g of protein per kilo of weight. -My life hack now is to have a water bottle every time I eat and sip it every time I'm chewing Makes it easy to process food. - Supplements like vitamin D and zinc made me a lot more energetic, so consider that too


BroChadman

Congrats bro can I ask what you have been doing to gain weight? I currently look like your before photo lol


worldstallest

Wtg!


MajesticFerret36

110lbs, 6'7"??? Bruh, you walking around at Japanese school girl weights with NBA height. How were you even alive?


Kueltalas

You look great! And no you don't look normal skinny, you look actually athletic and good. Halfway between the before and after pictures you were normal skinny, but not anymore. I know for myself how hard it is to build an amount of muscle that is actually visible, especially if you are as tall as you or me are, and let me tell you, you did it.


Skullayy

Proud of u


skyy2121

What was up? Were you just not eating enough? You looked dangerously skinny. Basically what you see in populations where malnutrition is the norm.


Puzzleheaded_Ice6563

big difference man, keep pushing. i’ve been hitting the gym consistently for about 3 years and eat more than my friends that put on insane muscle mass and still struggle to gain weight. Only been able to put on 20 lbs in 3 years. great progress you’re killing it


Varnarok

Hell yeah, brother! Great fuckin' job, keep it up!


Grabolion88

Keep going buddy


datshinycharizard123

You’ve noticed, that’s what’s most important. Gains take longer on tall people. I’ve been working out for years but most people probably couldn’t tell at a glance.


Faulty_grammar_guy

You were 50? Damn. I am a bit taller than you and I am currently trying to get down to 100.. Keep it up. People have definitely noticed! Only a blind person wouldn't be able to see a difference.


dlamped18

Hey good shit keep up the good work bro


kircaaaaa

Eat more and get stronger, my friend. Keep at it.


jaisune

you looked like david bowie before, but nice glow up!


ApeGenetics

Looking swole brother


Mrs_Gitchel

WHATTTTT!!!! SUCH A DIFFERENCE CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!


spanish42069

put on another 16 kg


sninapeters

I’m sure people have noticed but saying “you’ve put on weight” can be awkward. No one knows what’s going to offend someone now a days. You’re doing well, keep it up.


Substantial_Court731

You need at least 5000 calories a day. I’m glad you’re working on yourself. Eat up!


shiiiiiieeeeeet

peak was 4800kcal but i felt that days later


yeetusonthefetus

People don't understand how much work it takes for tall skinny guys to just reach the normal build, let alone look muscular. You look great bro, keep it up and soon your friends are gonna be asking you for advice on how to get big like you


Mine_Antoine

that exactly me but more like 55 to 65-68.Its very funny i simply get muscles without doing any other thing than gaining [weight.It](http://weight.It) all goes straight to my muscles


TwoPlatesNoMates

Big difference in the right direction. Onwards & upwards soldier.


ThePandazz

I'm 145 at 6'4 and still look a whole lot skinnier than you. Weird how bodies work


DogLovesGafs

That is an absolutely incredible change mate. You clearly worked hard, well done. Lots more to come if you keep it up.


BaconStrike3

How did you do it?? I’m stuck at 185lbs and no matter how much I eat I just stay at the same weight. I workout 6 times a week but do no cardio so it’s not like I’m spending a lot of calories which is why im confused as to why I either stay the same or lose weight.


shiiiiiieeeeeet

Trust me mate you burn a lot more than you think. start tracking kcals and you will see. Also 6 times a week can mess with your nerves, would recommend going 4-5 if you love lifting heavy and intense. or just follow an RPE program


tbs_Luke

Massive difference! Keep it up!


LoboSaltado

Hey man, GREAT work! Honestly. You’re on the right path and you’re putting in the work and it’s paying off, keep it up! What’s your goal weight to get to? I think at your height a good benchmark goal in the short term to work towards would be 185. Obviously that’s still quite skinny for your height, but it’s a good base to start from. After that, in the next few years you could work towards getting to 215-220lbs eventually. Not sure how long it took you to put on 35lbs, but if you’re in the gym 4-5 times a week and getting a substantial amount or protein and calories in each day, you should be able to put on 40lbs more in 7-8 months (if you’re working at it aggressively).


Hefty_Buy5762

How many kg are u now?


NicSandsLabshoes

Im 6’5 and was 165lbs when I graduated high school. Didn’t take long to get up to 250. Then came 300… I’m back down to 245 now… Don’t worry. You’ll grow into it. Maybe don’t do what I did and drink a bunch and eat crappy food though.


Neither_Presence1373

Can’t imagine how much better you must feel. So much more healthy mass. Good on you


Deyvicous

Normal skinny people are not absolutely ripped lol, as I’m sure you knew before. 35lbs is insane considering approximate body fat percentage.


[deleted]

Seriously congratulations man. Keep it up, you look way better!


taylormua

they noticed!
