I’m 6’2 and weigh 190ish. 26. I have never lift weights ever. My question for y’all is: Given my genetics, how long would it get to build a nice muscular body? What program shall I follow? Since I am a vegetarian, how so I increase my protein intake? I live in Redmond in case that’s important.
Get a personal trainer and be consistent with your workout.
Skinny fat?
is a body type. guys with thin build that get fat around the waist, at least my definition
I see. I was thinking skinny and fat cancel each other and tada op is already fit 🤷♂️
Do a basic linear progression strength program like Starting Strength. https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs Get strong first, then worry about getting lean after. Plus...if you follow that program, you’ll get pretty muscular within 3 months.
3-4 months to see good difference, if you do gym regularly and eat good food. Being a vegetarian, it is difficult to have a good protein intake but you can try protein isolates such as ON or other brands but do check for allergies. Don’t mix carbs and fats in your meals.
With regards to protein intake: try to get about 75-100 grams of protein everyday to start with. Being a vegetarian, the best thing I can recommend is consuming protein shakes. Invest in a nutritionist bullet. Get some frozen fruit of your choice, or greens. Mix with one scoop protein powder, 1 cup Greek yogurt, some milk, and some nuts preferably almonds, walnuts. This itself can get you around 50 grams of protein. For the remainder you will have to rely on lentils, and paneer.
How often do u eat like this?
With regards to smoothies almost everyday. However I am not sure if I get to 100 grams protein everyday
Definitely get a trainer. Definitely get a nutritionist. Your biggest challenge will be eating enough (in general, and especially protein if you’re a vegetarian).
But should you be eating a lot if you're skinny fat like OP?
Yes, but the right foods at the right times. If you want to build muscle, you need to eat. And the more muscle you have, the easier it is to lose fat.
Re: protein, look at some vegan or vegetarian protein powders. There are many. There are plenty of vegan athletes and vegan bodybuilders, and because the vegans love talking about it, you can get decent guidance.
Just join CrossFit, I went from 190 to 160 in 6 months
