Love the thread Reim! I usually do some exercise by walking in the park ;0 Sad for me I can't go to gym because I'm skinny. T.T

How is being skinny a reason to not go to the gym? It is actually a good thing.

You just need to start packing on some size and building your strength up. You need to have a calorie deficit every day to start putting on size. 

I eat 6 meals a day, spaced 2-3 hours apart. I am on 3200 calories a day and that is just a lean bulk.

I think the word you are looking for is surplus, if wanting to gain size

Muscle you gain cannot be lost; I don't think atrophy would have been that significant after a week, but you never know. If it's about size, do bodyweight exercises like push ups during the day to get your pump up until you can go to the gym

 

Well, that's sorta true, but sorta not true. While muscle cells themselves aren't lost (unless you go like a month without food or some extreme shit), your muscles can still lose mass if you don't train regularly. However training up muscle cells that are already there is a lot easier than forming new muscle cells, which is why it's a lot easier to get *back* to shape than it is to *get* to shape.

 

Same is true for fat cells btw, fat cells don't dissapear even though you lose fat, they just get smaller (That's a very non-scientific explanation, but it works).

AKA atrophy. I kinda figured he was lamenting his loss in size, which to be honest I don't think there was a significant loss in size over the period of a week. That's why I recommended doing push ups during the day to get the muscle pump going in order to look bigger haha.

Could be muscular dysmorphia as well but I kinda figure everybody has that.
