So I've been regularly hitting the gym for 6 months now and although I've gained weight and look bulkier
>140lbs twink to 146lbs twink
I do not seem to have any muscle definition/lines and look like a fat kid with abnormally large shoulder. I have been doing alot of 5x5 and has made decent strength gains but I was wondering if I should stop making strength gains and go for aesthetics instead, should I do it?
>also 5'9 manlet
Switch to a PPL program
You can still make strength gains if you split 1 volume day and 1 heavy day
Also if you're natty, 6 months is not enough time to make huge gains
It takes years of hard work and dedication
I know this is something most people don't want to hear but if you really want to make it you have to put time into it

>progress takes time
I laugh every time
push yourself past the limit and maybe you'll be able to make a 6 month change like me key is to workout so hard you can't even read afterwards 6 days a week with cardio every day if you're kinda fat

yeah currently bulking though. that was from 6 months on a PPL running cardio every day to lose weight. 6 months of waking up to run at 6 am going to work coming back and working out for 1.5 hours a day I only had 2 hours of leisure during the week, and I had to give up drinking and smoking. That was like 6 months ago currently in a bulk 235 6'1
