Hi /fit/,
I have been lifting for a year now (this pic is from the beginning of the year) and have barely gotten any bigger since then. I have trouble gaining weight even though I count my calories and am always around 2,500-3,000 daily.
Also, I have sever scoliosis and will always have a shitty body no matter how much I work out.
Should I just give up on fitness all together?

Sup.
Start eating spam yo

>3000 kcal
What are your stats? 3000 is meme level "surplus" calories for anyone of average size, ESPECIALLY with fast metabolism. High protein, HIGH calorie. It should be painful to eat. PAINFUL
Read the sticky

Also I have 20° S-curve scoliosis and have managed through regular back training. You can see it but I don't feel it. How bad is yours?
>>35200734
I have a similar body to yours. I think the issue is that you aren't eating enough. I also ate at 2500 cals before and I was LOSING weight at that amount. I had to bump it to 3500 in order to slowly gain weight.
You clearly have a base physique. Do not give up, bump up your surplus, and keep working hard. I don't think you have a shitty body - you can and will make it if you try!

Still have scoliosis though. No amount of muscle will make my back look okay. Look at Lamar Gant.
>>35200812
I'm 5'11, 135lb.
Some days I feel like throwing up from eating while others I eat close to 4k and am still hungry. It always varies.
>>35200823
Yours is nothing I have an S-curve. 50 degrees thoracic with a 40 degree lumbar curve.

The active male should be higher than 3000 a day if looking to gain weight
Solid sixer though
>>35200734
If your head weren't up your add your wouldn't have the back issues.
Hurr should I quit because I won't ever be ____
yeah. You should. Give up. I'm sure somewhere down the road you'll get a gold sticker because of your disposition. You sound so bitchmade.
>>35200734
Fuck you, dude. I've been lifting for 3 years and look worse than you.
Quit being a bitch. The only person you can honestly compare yourself to is your past self

Ill up to 3500 consistently and see what kind of difference it will make. I only lift 3 times a week but I also play hockey twice a week.
Think that is sufficient for gains? I don't want to be huge. Just ottermode. Around 150 @ 5'11.

>Implying ones mindset causes scoliosis.

Body dysmorphia is a cunt.
>>35200734
2500 is about the average male TDEE, and if you are lifting hard you could easily be at 3000. Try 4500/day for a month and see if you don't gain weight.
>>35200901
So get into deadlifting and break a world record.
And anyways, looking at your pic I can't even tell you have scoliosis, stop being such a whiny bitch
>>35201014
That's a pathetically unambitious goal, you can achieve it in 3 months easily if you learn how to eat like a grown man.
>>35201047
Way too much. Don't be impatient OP, just slowly raise calories until you start gaining as much weight in a week as you want. Dirty bulking is stupid because your body can only make so much muscle in a certain time frame, more calories does not instantly = more muscle gain unless you're roiding. If you eat way more than your body needs to build muscle, you'll just get fat.
>>35200734
Post back, I am curious how much of this is in your head
>>35201071
I'm not saying that he should stick with that number forever, but if he needs convincing that he can put on weight that ought to do the trick
>>35201069
Well that's my goal. I think bulky frames looks odd. It's just not what I'm looking to achieve. Plus, a big chest doesn't make me skate any faster.
>>35201071
This seems like sound advice. What kind of snack would you recommend to fill these extra calories? Im a full-time worker and student and don't usually have time for more than 3 meals.

Scoliosis makes my ribcage twist and it is VERY noticable. Looks like I have a hunchback but only on one side. Its hard to see in this picture but trust me. One ribcage looks HUGE and the other looks reaally small.

Girls will be mirin this body so hard. In aesthetics, low bodyfat is always more important than size. Be happy with what you have been blessed with family.
