I know fat people complain about being fat and how hard it is to lose weight (when a chemical imbalance is the cause), but skinny people have it hard to. I feel for you...but I also know it isn't impossible, just really, really hard.
I wouldn't dump all that other shit in your body. Creatine? Sure...but only in well controlled cycles. In my picture, I was about to stop my cutting routine to do a creatine cycle to bulk up a bit more. I gained about 10-15lbs of muscle in 4-6 weeks without anything but protein and lifting. I wanted to see if I could gain another 10 with creatine, then cut down to 10-12%.
Personally, I tend to work out the hardest when I have a more experienced gym partner. The last one was a friend of mine who has about 20-25 years in the gym. He also was in a horrible car accident...the doctors basically said he'll never lift again, nor walk. He got his ass out of bed, worked out...and now he's buff as ever and walks perfectly fine. I don't know if you go at it alone in the gym, or at home, but maybe seek out someone who can mentor you and give you the direct support you need? Just a thought.
It's part diet, part workout routine and part mind. If any are out of balance, it tends to spell trouble.
word.
my original work out partner (ryann mckelley for you tracy peeps) and i would go 2x a day. we use to work eachother the fuck out.
so awesome. it was more of a hobby for us more than dragging our feet there type of thing...
miss those days... fuckin dumbell pressing 110lb each arm at 140lb made the local gym guys drop their mouths.
lulz.
