Over the past couple of weeks I've been working hard and focusing in on one of my fitness goals. I'm a thin guy, I'm about 175 cms and currently (after losing 5 kilos in the last 2 weeks), 65 kilos. I have a small amount of muscle, but not really a whole lot. For all intents and purposes I am a scrawny nerd.
But back to my goal! I've been working hard on trying to add a bit more definition to my chest/torso and achieve what I'm calling the "6 month 6 pack". Basically in 6 months time my goal is to develop a 6 pack. I'm not talking about some perfectly chiseled work of art that people will be mirin' till the end of time. I'm more so looking for a bit more of a muscle definition and a small 6 pack shape as opposed to my flat, 'you can see my ribs through my translucent skin' body I have now. I just want to have a bit more confidence in my body, you know? Prior to contrary belief I'm an incredibly insecure guy.
The biggest problem is I don't really know what the most efficient way to go about this process is. I'm a very fit guy, I've always enjoyed running, play a lot of sport and work a part time physical labor job. But I've never been to a gym before or had any sort of training in relation to muscle development. To make the process even harder I am also incredibly poor as I'm a Uni student who lives in campus and I'm sure many of you people know that particular pain.
So for the last 2 weeks I've been running more, doing sit ups, push ups, squats and jumping jacks nearly every night and trying to eat as much protein as possible. I cant join a gym due to money restraints and I can't afford protein shakes, either. But I eat a lot of meat/tuna and a lot of grains so I'm hoping this supplements it a bit.
What I'm asking for is a bit of practical advise (not "take brotein shakes do you even lift brah?") that will help aid me along in the process. I can't afford a gym membership so I am limited to activities that I can do in the local park, my Uni dorm room etc. Also what kinds of food would you recommend eating? Is there anything that's incredibly high in protein which also happens to be super cheap that you can recommend? Remember, I'm poor, so not shakes guys.
I'd really appreciate any advice that y'all have to offer. I don't have any shirtless pictures, but I'll add in a picture of me taken a month or so ago to perhaps give you a better understanding of my shape and size. Hopefully some other people are under going similar fitness goals and we could share our results, help motivate each other etc. Thanks in advance to anyone who posts seriously and gives me the advice I greatly desire
TLDR; I'm poor, thin, looking to work on a 6 pack and need help with what to eat/do. Paying in cookies.
This photo was taken on Australia Day (28th of January), so I've lost another 5 kilos since then. So imagine this but a little skinnier.
