>hit the gym every second day for half a year
>100g proteins + 5 g creatine per day
>my arms are still thinner than what i see in random 17year olds who never lifted in their life

I hate my R1a1 heritage, only Indianbros will understand

Cope
You must be doing something very wrong and blaming your genes absolves you from working hard and/or smart.

Who cares? Most of their arms are fat

>>213662965
>You must be doing something very wrong
that started at my birth

>>213662929 (OP)
How much do you weigh? How much do you eat besides proteins? What's your program?

>>213662929 (OP)
Same

>>213664986
>How much do you weigh?
65 kg
>How much do you eat besides proteins
i try to eat between 2-2.5k kcal/day
>What's your program?
i mostly train my arms because they're the thinnest part of my body, 4x15-20 reps for biceps/triceps every second day

Are you even training your arms ninja?

>>213665238
Too many reps i.o
Try 3 sets of 8-10 and increase the load.
Do you feel stronger since you began?

go out and chop some wood

i once had to visit my GP for some random checkup and when I took off my shirt she commented that I have disproportionately thin arms and chest comparing to the rest of the body and i should start lifting
worst thing is that i had been already lifting for some time when she said that
i felt like shit after that

>>213665281
>Do you feel stronger since you began?
i can do more pushups than i could at the beginning (so zero lmao) but i feel like im already stuck, i can't go past 20 pushups at once
>Try 3 sets of 8-10 and increase the load.
i read that the newest research shows that what is important is not the load or some strictly defined number of reps but muscles get incentive for growth if you end your set max 4 reps before your max capacity
but i usually try to do as much reps in the set as i can, i end the set when i simply cannot do even one rep more

>>213665238
100g is a bit low for 65k, multiply your weight by 1.8 and that's the bare minimum
Drop the number of sets but also the number of reps, 15-20 is too high if you want to focus on hypertrophy, also include compound exercises into your program

Hm sounds relatable
For me I just needed to eat more and only then I started seeing some results
Last summer I was at the gym almost every day but I ate a lot of fast food (BK, McD) with no protein supplements and I only gained fat, I didn't feel like I got muscle.
This year I'm only exercising at home and taking protein supplements and while having less weight than last year I feel and other say too that I look more defined or buff.
For me I think it was important not so skip meals, I would often skip breakfast and have a very light supper.
I'm still a 67 kg dyel

>>213665514
>multiply your weight by 1.8
i heard you count the amount of protein not from your overall weight but your fat free weight, which in my case is around 50kg I believe because I am skinnyfat and I have quite a lot of fat on the belly

>>213665514
Also don't train arms every other day, you can train them every 3 days with less sets but heavier load

>>213665514
ok thanks i will try, i have nothing to lose at this point

R1a "males" should take HRT and become my boysluts.

>>213665550
I eat mostly protein-rich food + add WPC to my food (i can't drink protein shakes, they're disgusting to me) + i take creatine

>>213665608
if you're already around 15% body fat or lower, there’s almost no difference between using total body weight, just 20g protein which is nothing, as you said you have nothing to lose

>>213665676
>f you're already around 15% body fat or lower,
nah, im surely 20%+ but im trying to gain mass now so im not concerned with that

>>213665694
also because of my fucked up genetics all my fat gathers in the belly + manboobs, nothing goes to arms so they seem extremely thin

>>213665663
>i can't drink protein shakes, they're disgusting to me
Really? I found those mixed in water disgusting but chocolate flavored ones in milk are to me basically like chocolate milk.
>tfw can't take creatine because of shitty DHT sensitive hair follicles

>>213665924
i can't drink milk so it's not an option to me

>>213665924
>tfw can't take creatine because of shitty DHT sensitive hair follicles
im already nw4 and simply shave my head so at least this one isn't my concern

>>213662929 (OP)
How's that possible? And why the fuck do you care so much about how your arms look? Do strength training, and then when you're strong, beat up the people who mock your stringy arms

My arms got noticably bigger after being able to do pullups in a few weeks. You are doing something wrong. What weights are you using? Give us some numbers.
Do you drink enough water everyday?
Do yoy get enough sleep?
Do you drink too much alcohol?
>>213665945
>i can't drink milk so it's not an option to me
Hurts your tummy?

>>213666481
>Hurts your tummy?
nah, i just find it repulsive

>>213666481
>What weights are you using?
15kg (+bar) for one arm
>Do you drink enough water everyday?
i think so, i don't feel thirsty
>Do yoy get enough sleep?
usually yes
>Do you drink too much alcohol?
i don't drink at all

>>213665384
Brutal
I too put effort but just can't gain any muscle. Not any, but my 6 months of tryhard = 1 month of sleight exercises from average dude

20 pushups is insanely bad. I can do about 50-65 standard pushups, but I generally do harder decline ones because it's faster and I feel like they work my shoulders more(with my form anyway). You should probably just give up or get roids.
