In whose right mind is 2 double cheeseburgers considered a lot of food? lol thats crazytalk yo. You should be eating at least 5 meals, and that's not even considering how useless the burgers are if the come from a dining hall or fast food. come'on now son!
In one sitting? So eating two massive double cheeseburgers in one sitting is just average?
/confusion
I understood this as saying you only eat
for ex. 7 slices of pizza in a day thats it nothing more
what is a full day of eating for you
Hmm... it would look something like:
Stouffer's Panini
Some nachos
Another Panini
Maybe a PB&J or Deli sandwich
Bagel with lots and lots of cream cheese.
Pizza/Spaghetti/Burgers/Ribs/any other meat for dinner.
And then whatever I can find in the freezer for a 2 AM snack, pizza rolls, panini, bagel bites, etc.
I probably should've mentioned that I'm only 15 and 5' 10" and 117 pounds.

alot of processed food. Where are the whole foods veggies, fruit etc. Anyway like it was said above follow a routine. Stay motivated you will get there. start doing some weight training every day duder
You go to the gym for yourself, don't care what other people think. What's more embarrassing than a skinny guy going to the gym and lifting light weights is a bigger, fatter, out of shape guy going to the gym and lifting light weights also(That's where I started from, but I got over it, now I'm lifting as much as many people around me are) Trust me, no one will walk up to you and say your weak(But if someone does, who cares, you're improving yourself!). They will see that you're at least trying. Keep your chin up dude!
Totally agree with that. Go to the gym, expose yourself, be proud...in the end you will have what you want, isn't that enough to unjustify embarrassment? Yes, yes it is.
Go kick ass my friend.
Like i said, take a GOOD LOOOONG look at all the info you can gather up, take the time and educate yourself...it won't take long...once you are armed with the proper knowledge and tools you will be more confident and will get what you want with even more ease.
You are what you eat. Eat BEEF! rawr
Grab your goals by the balls. Now get a subscription to the gym
(and read the stickies!)Dude. Just....
Push-ups are harsh on the joints at first...keep doing them...endure the pain...it will go away.
Very bad advice, based on what has been posted. If the op has a rotator cuff injury, "working through it" will make it much much worse!
Agreed.
One does not, without any shadow of any doubt, work through "inapropriate" pain and/or injury.
One's body is their castle. You only have the one. Be wise. Take care of it. Listen to it, very wisely. Your mind can be a friend or foe, and you determine which. When faced with an injury and/or pain where its "inappropriate" to train, take care of the "goal functions" you have complete and utter control over while you let your body heal, and you will stay on track. If you see this as a set back, this can and could set a domino effect you do not want. Control your personal faculties of your goals and you roll.
Best wishes,
Chillen

Thanks for the advice Chillen and g8r80. I knew there was a difference between muscles aching after a workout and severe joint pain.
Also one question about abs, I have very little stomach fat, maybe an inch at most, so would getting my desired "vertical line" down my stomach be a hard feat to acheive?

once you get that injury figured out and start cranking out pushups, pullups, and dips you'll have that and more in no time, pending your diets on track. Till then body weight squats will help your midsection.
The core composition between one person and the next, though simuliar, can be quite different in some slightly different construction.
The vertical line of the core has more to due with the "thickness of the skin" and total upper body mass--as a joint pair, IMO.
Which basically means the quality of muscle underneath, and low body fat (and sometimes lowering water to assist in lowering skin thickeness) to showcase your unique core construction. Yes, it is absolutely possible--dependent on your core genetics and unique core construction when muscle is developed enough and body fat is subsequently low enough to display your personal attributes.
And, realizing the Absolute POWER of training manipulation and nutrient manipulation WILL get you there.
When BF gets to a "certain" point, skin thickness (and assuming no "abnormal physical complications", and one is healthy), can be properly manipulated----through DIET. Actually, it gets manipulated when losing tissue in general. However, when things are not quite what one wants (and they have a core muscle and upper body support), they can do manipulations within diet to thin the skin even more---(again assuming a healthy person as stated above)
When people sometimes read things they dont open their personal perception--and really educationally examine what they are reading.
For example, one on a low carb diet (can lose appreciable amount of water, and assume (at first early in the diet, for example) that his is tangible tissue loss. Okay with this in mind, can Carbs be used a mild diuretic? And, used properly with the other nutrients and consumption activities. Answer: YES.
Revealing the POWER of the DIET.
Best regards,

So how many reps and sets of those squats should I be doing?
just see how you feel. Start of with 3 sets of 10 of so, but once you get the injury figured out following a professionally made plan would be best.
