But it makes one hungry?

Yes, but you also gain weight

Aksnoopy:
OP, what ever you want to do stay away from cyproheptadine and corticosteroids.

Eat more protein, carb and use Amino acids and multivitamin supplements.

Please why?
I also want to use it

Ignore most of the contributions above and listen from the horses mouth.

In secondary school, I loved football, but stopped playing because whenever we share ourselves into two teams, I'll always be in the team to take off their shirts — as it was done back then in the village.

Whenever I take off my shirt, people will start saying hurtful things of how skinny I was. I was depressed and thought of suicide. Everyone always talked about how skinny I was and how pinkish my lips were.

They made it look as if I was sick (for having a lower pink lip) or I had AID (for being skinny). In fact, I wanted to die. When I see overweight people, I always thought of being like them to avoid the stigmatization of being called skinny.

Finally, I left Nigeria at a teenage age and all the white girls and Asian girls were complimenting my stature and wished they were like me. I was SHOCKED. So, these foreigners want to be as skinny as me? I couldn't believe it. My confidence came back and I decided to hit the gym for fun and develop some muscles for the sake of muscles and also to prove Nigerians (who made fun of me wrong) when I return home.

In less than 3 months of rigorous exercise and weight lifting, my chest and arms (triceps & biceps) were big with defined 6 packs. I started taking lots of shirtless pictures and posting them on my FB page at the time.

Note: I didn't take any drug, supplement, do dieting, eat a special kind of meal or whatever. I just exercised like a badass with 100% peace of mind, confidence, and dedication.

Lesson of what made me develop muscles were

1. Change of environment or mingling with positive minded people, not "talk down on him" kind of people.
2. Confidence that being skinny is actually something lots of foreigners/models are dying to attain.
3. Dedication/focus

In summary, developing muscles is faster when you're skinny than when you aren't.

If a skinny person and a fat/chubby person hits the gym today and stay dedicated, the skinny one will develop HUGE muscles within 3 months, but it will take the other person at least 6 months.

When it comes to maintaining muscles, a skinny person who became muscular has less exercise to do to maintain his body while the other person has a lot to do to always stay fit.

So, as a skinny man, you're at advantage. If Laycon develops muscles today, it will take him less to maintain those muscles for life, but it will take Kiddwaya (a fat/chubby person) lots of hitting the gym to stay mentally and physically fit.

I'll end the post with half picture of me.

Finally, hit the gym and stay dedicated. That's all you need. I have been there and I'm speaking from experience. Also, there is no one way of skinning a cat. So, you're free to explore, but it's best to learn from those who have been in your shoe.

That's all. Please, don't mingle with negative people — it leads to depression. If you can't help in mingling with them, then don't listen to the rubbish they say.

All the best. Pictures to be deleted soon.

wow!!! I really can't stop reading this.... This post inspired me....

#Noted

Thanks a lot, I appreciate

U gas chop well n gym for muscles tho
Maybe first gain some weight with good diet and relax then hit the gym to turn those weight gained into muscles Sha,just a thought, not sure if it works for everyone but indulge in alot of Oats, Fibre, tombrown, high protein foods n the likes

meobizy:
OP is not ready. I’ve seen many Nairalanders drop useful advice yet he comes here year after year with the same stupid complaint.

Year after year?? Really? Could you please provide the link to one?

lebron7:

Please why?
I also want to use it

Cyproheptadine has been linked to impotency in men after long-term use.

Corticosteroids( dexamethasone, prednisolone e.t.c) longterm use has been linked to osteoporosis, diabetes, glaucoma e.t.c.

So for a man, the risk associated with both drugs outweighs the benefit.

If you want to gain weight as a man, stick to amino acids and multivitamin supplements alongside a well balanced diet.

Except you are ready to bear the consequence/risk of you the aforementioned drugs.

Both aforementioned drugs can actually make an individual gain at least 4kg every week, but it's not worth it.

Durentt:
Hello.

I am 22 years old, I am not as skinny as you described but I used to be like that until I became 20 years old.

I used to weigh 59kg when I was 17 but now I weigh 69kg. I'm quite tall also

I think you should go to pharmacy for cyproheptadine or cyprigold, this helped me gain weight after I used it for few months. (Answer to question 3)

You need body fat to get muscles, I suppose, so use the supplement above to get some fat and exercise to convert to muscles. (Answer to question 1)

That means a could be a supplement for increase in height then..

DaSkinnydude:
Good day Nairalanders

I'm posting this here cos this is one of the most active sections. Please I need your advice

I'm 20 years, normal height, decent looking, but I'm skinny AF.
I have very skinny wrists (and legs).
Heck, slightly below my rib cages i even have holes on both sides.

Even when i'm with friends, I don't pull off my shirt.
I've been having insecurities and self esteem issues because of this.


I love short sleeve shirts but I can't wear them.

I can't even wear a wristwatch.

I'm someone who likes a well built muscular body, but as of now I can't afford to maintain a steady diet (say a particular amount of calories a day).

To the body builders and health experts in the house, here are my questions -

(WITHOUT A STEADY DIET)
1 - With my current body, can I gain more muscle/weight through rigorous exercises (like calisthenics)/ gyyming ?

2- How can I make my thin wrists and legs thicker ?

3- To gain more weight, are there supplements I can take with my normal diet?

Cc: Neduluiz, Pansophist

Thanks in anticipation.

Well I think we decide how we look exception of height...It won't happen in just a day for you,it's a process.
First you need to eat well ...I mean very well, embrace a diet mostly rich in protein,I personally don't use supplements so I wouldn't wanna advice it since my knowledge of it is limited
Secondly get a gym membership.

DaSkinnydude:



Don't know, I've never done the measurement.

Visualize a 20 year old skinny dude with VERY thin arms and legs and just estimate

2kg

tpraiz:

no. I dont know even.

Tominix:
2kg

Durentt:
anorexic

ayam not understanding

lefulefu:
Just increase your calorie intake and you will bulk up
then if you were doing a lot of cardio(running,jogging,biking) try reduce it for now
Though the truth of the matter it is more easier for a fat person to build muscle cos he already has a lot of fatty energy mass in his body than he can break down and convert to muscle building cells than a skinny person who has no fatty cells to convert to mucles but then a skinny person can still build muscles.Just try and increase ur calorie intake as in eat more...then include your routine with body resistance exercise like pushups,weight lifting etc.

I disagree.

Fatty cells do not convert to muscle cell. In fact the fatty cells just reduce in size and they remain in the body forever, that's why it's easy for a former fat person to easily regain the fat once they Slip up.

It's twice harder for the fatter person cos they have to lose the fat before they gain muscle. Beginners and steroid users are the only people who can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time

You deceived alot of people with this your post. Who told you a skinny person will develop muscles more than a chubby person.

I'll advise you to do a general body checkup to rule out any health issues.. then sleep well, try to eat well too and relax your mind.

If you want to opt for body building, you'd spend more and might even damage your physique if not done properly. Rest of mind makes people add weight.

Eat more proteins eg Eggs chicken, sharwarma, cat fish,. Noodles and eggs, beans and plantain, plenty meats, Chicken,

illicit:



It affects the part of your system that's responsible for muscle mass building


It's not the only factor though but it's a very big factor


Not everybody will be fat but then if you are one of those that won't be fat readily, masturbating will worsen it

Do u get now

I can so


Ignorance.

What if one stops using the supplement? Won't I go back to the previous shape and size?

I was like that when I was your age, go to school, get a job, then you will be able to buy what you want to eat eg fish and cow tail pepper soup, take your girl friend out and be happy, you will naturally add weight, it's a state of mind

If you want to get Fat, just send your Picture to me.
If you are a lady that wants to be Slim, just send your picture to me. You will get result within 1 week to 1 month, that's all

Don't disturb yourself some people are created that way. Check out people like Sanusi Lamido former CBN Governor, Elrufai,.....I can go on and on. I used to be skinny and guys told to take multivitamin and I will add weight and I took several drugs to no avail. But as I'm writing this, I have lemon and cucumber in my front, I want to loose weight.
