hi /fit/ first-time poster here. i read the sticky but i was hoping to get advice that was a bit more tailored to my personal body type *pun intended;)
i'm a skinny manlet and i weigh about 125 pounds. i have pretty much no muscle at all, and my goal for this summer is to bulk up, or at least get some more defined muscles.
every time i work out, my muscles react immediately, and i look really awesome for a few hours afterward, but after that, i revert back to my lame, skinny self.
can you please help me build and retain some muscles for this summer?
pic is me, but i just did some pushups, so i look a litttle better than normal
i should probably add that i don't have access to a gym this summer. although i could get a membership if absolutely necessary, i would prefer not to because i'm broke
b-bump
is this board slow or do you just hate me?

Jesus dude if you read the sticky just do what it says. There's no personal tailored advice for someone starting from scratch. Just lift weights (do SS or SL) and try to eat at a small surplus (200-300 Cal).

Eat food and lift weights. I don't really know what you are looking for here.

You've got a decent base. Regardless of your access to a gym, get on your diet, clean it up, start tracking macros and calories - those are skills that will help you for the rest of your life.
If you really can't get to a gym until next fall, then run a bodyweight routine until you can. You can probably run pic-related daily if it's the only thing you're doing - just take a rest day if you're feeling particularly sore.
When you do get to the gym, be sure to run a beginner routine for 6 or so months to build a solid strength base.
Good luck, bro.

You're not gonna get swole without a gym. There's just really not any way around it. If you'd read the sticky, you'd know that.
i.e. read the sticky until you understand what you're supposed to do

It's called a pump you goob. Read the sticky.
ok well it sounds like the consensus is that there's no specific approach for my body type. sorry if that was a dumb question, but as you can tell i'm not very experienced with this stuff.
thanks for the advice. i'll just get to liftin

Like I said, you've got a solid foundation.
You're not obese.
You're not skinny fat.
It appears like you have at least some base physicallity.
Pick a novice program from fitsticky.com and hit the gym. Google a TDEE calculator and eat 300 calories over. Track your calories, track your macros, track your weight weekly.
Lift big, eat big, get big.
Good luck.
