Turning to roids.

[Mazaa93]

I'm 17 years old, turning 18 on November the 5th, 1.8m tall and weigh 78kg.
Been going gym for about 5 months, looks like my bodies changing but the scales say otherwise.
My split: Monday is chest and biceps, Wednesday is shoulders and triceps, Friday is back and legs.
I eat about 5 times a day, since I'm at school it makes it easier to stick to the time plans.
I eat healthy, protein packed meals, post workout protein shake.
I just don't know why I'm not getting a gain scale-wise.
Not sure if I'm losing fat at the same time as I'm not sure what my bf percentage is.

Any light to shed?

Also, I'm not planning on taking the roids now, I want it for when I turn 21 or so just so my body has fully developed.

I just want to know if anyone can tell me why I'm not gaining weight.

post your diet, workouts, etc.

you are still young bro. the average Olympian is 34 years old.. you aren't even halfway there in age. and you are very early in your lifting years.

be a little patient.. all of us on here started out either fat or skinny (or both) none of us were born with muscles

at your age your metabolism is at an all time high, (i was the same at your age....eons ago)
this is the best advice i can offer.

Also throw in a handfull of nuts several times a day between meals, nuts are calorie dense and contain alot of micro nutrients.

Also you should be doing alot of heavy compound lifts to the major muscle groups.

Chest and biceps:
-chest press
-incline press
-flyes
-cable crossovers
-bicep curls
-hammer curls
-concentration

Shoulders and triceps:
-shoulder press
-front raises ss with lateral raises
-upright rows
-shrugs
-rope pulldowns
-overhead triceps extension
-dips

Back and legs:
-squats
-bent over single arm rows
-wide grip seated rows
-seated rows
-pull ups

Diet is never set, just usually have cans of tuna before and after gym sessions (usually at 6:30) and also have a good chicken/beef dinner.

School I have sandwiches with chicken usually, drink plenty of water, little junk food.

And my biceps peak have grown (I've taken photo shots off various muscles) from comparing 5 months of pics and also my lats.

I'm just upset that I'm not gaining any weight. Could it be that I'm losing fat at the same time?
I've noticed that my top 2 abs are appearing and the next two are also.

height? weight?

some guys have a tough time gaining cause like radar said a fast metabolism, the best way to overcome that is to eat more. trust me its not a bad thing.. a slow metabolism IMO is worse.

okay i see you do a lot of exercises but what your splits specifically? and also like radar says are you starting your workouts with heavy compound lifts? deadlifts? squats? a huge amount of weight and muscle is in your quads, you can easily put on 5-10 pounds right there.

when i was your age and a junior in high school I weighed dripping wet 123 pounds and I competed in the 129 weight class. my senior year i was 131 and would drop 2 pounds to make weight.. then after high school i started to put on weight much easier once my metabolism started slowing down and i started eating more. not gonna gain muscle on school cafeteria food unfortunately. a cheap solution to overcome that problem is boiling some eggs and taking them with you. or if you have access to a stove at school boiling or scrambling some eggs there. go with cage free, more protein and healthier when they are eating bugs and worms rather then chickens given soy in cages. i can remember in 1st period I would crack open my boiled eggs and half the class would turn around cause of the smell.. too bad lol
