Not really Much to say
Today marks my first year hitting the gym. So i decided to make a post to log my progess
Will post pics soon
So hopefully you guys can tell me whats lagging
Edit: should have mentioned I’m 16
If he’s 16, I doubt that he was 6’ a year ago. At that age, of course he is going to get heavier in a year just doing nothing ( he probably grew an inch or more, plus greater bone density, etc). Add in the fact that he’s been eating more and hitting the weights, then yes, 105 pounds is very feasible. On that not, Good Job OP.
Sure you only weighed in at around 105 when you started? (or were you shorter then or did you maybe measure in kg or stone and didn’t convert right?).
I mean, I started at 120 and that was anorexic at 5’10…
As for putting on 100 lb in a year… Well, if you’re underweight to begin with, it’s possible.
Not all muscle, but you are basically going from completely detrained/stickman to average-sized.
I see quite a few guys go from ~120-150 at average height (say. 5’9 to 5’11) to 180-200 in a year without gaining much fat. That’s pretty much the newbie gains you get once you start eating a little more and a little more often + getting stronger practically every session. 50-80 lbs gained overall, normally.
I don’t have much experience when it comes to taller guys, but I guess another 20 lbs due to the larger frame may be possible…
A guy who starts underweight can put on a lot more weight with relatively little fat gain in a year than a guy who starts out average or above average.
Still, starting weight seems very very low for your height. 105 lbs at 6’ is practically concentration-camp-victim size.
Anyway, good job. Things are going to become a lot more difficult soon, so good luck.

I don’t think he was saying it was all muscle as that would obviously be bullshit. However, from age fifteen to sixteen I don’t think is out of the realm of possibility. OP, I might have missed it, but did you mention if you grew in height? One of my cousins went from 5’5 at age fourteen to 6’4 in a year and a half and he definitely put on well over a hundred pounds (not fat either). If this is a troll, then at least it’s a believable one.
OP: Good job for getting started at a young age. Other posts are correct though, one year of training doesn’t belong in the bodybuilding forum.
