Hey guys.. First time poster here so Hello!
I am a 20 year old male, 187cm tall and I weigh 68kg (not sure about pounds sorry, from Australia) and I have a pretty light frame.
Now, I have always been thin and it's never really bothered me too much, but because of my height I always found it hard to find good fitting shirts.
I started going to the gym about 4 months ago around 3 times a week, focusing on upper body and arms and also a bit of ab work. I had a routine I was following that was given to me from my trainer. I was 65kg when I started and have put on 3kg, which is looking pretty good apart from one thing..
My stomach is sticking out a bit more than it used to and a bit more that I'm comfortable with. Most people probably think I'm stupid, but I can notice the difference, and I'm the type of person that wants to stop something before it starts, if you know what I mean.
I was working out 3 times a week doing abs each time I worked out, but I was only really doing crunches and (sorry, I don't remember the name of it) a machine where I hold my body up with my arms in an upright position and lift my legs up to focus on my abs. After each workout I would drink a weight gainer shake. I was drinking this shake 2 or 3 times a day most days. I stopped drinking the shake when I noticed this because I'm thinking it might be the cause
It's not like my stomach is fat or anything, but it is definitely bulging out a bit more than it ever has and only after I started working out..
Is there anything I can do to stop this or have I been doing something wrong?
Sorry for such a long post, but I wanted to be clear. Any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks very much.
