Definitely thicker in the neck and chest. Face looks a bit "fuller" too. I'm sure he's been training hard. Adding 10 pounds of muscle on a 6'5" frame may not show as easily as someone who is shorter.
Just looking 10 Lbs won't show much on a 6' 4" frame. He is listed at 215 lbs. he would need to get to 240-250 lbs to see a big difference. He is probably 225-230 now. My bigger question is how strong is he in comparison to his weight. Strength matters.Definitely thicker in the neck and chest. Face looks a bit "fuller" too. I'm sure he's been training hard. Adding 10 pounds of muscle on a 6'5" frame may not show as easily as someone who is shorter.
That is like camp survivor thin.My son is 18 and 6'6" and he was super skinny, like 160... barely. He's now over 170 and it BARELY shows. Someone that tall would have to add 20+ lbs for it to really be obvious unless he were stick thin.

For a hard gainer he should be eating 5,000 calories a day. Healthy calories if he can which, if mostly healthy, is a ton of food.
What weight does he want to get to?
I am trying some intermitant fasting as part of lifting now. Supposed to help with muscle gains and recovery.He doesn't have any weight goals, but he has wanted to addd bulk. Skinny kid syndrome. I had it. Was great for triathlon, but not great for the ego... I stayed overweight for too long because of it. He may have an enzyme issue, but no money for testing yet. Doesn't help that he's a picky eater.
We do Isagenix as a family and he's starting to add bulk. I'm gonna be getting a family membership at the Y soon so we can lift together.
Pretty strong!My bigger question is how strong is he in comparison to his weight.

Isagenix is a weight loss thing I thought?
I had a player that needed to gain weight. I had him use a weight gainer of his choice (as long as it had a low sugar content) twice a day and add two snacks. The shake was 150 calories per scoop. Three scoops with 16 oz of whole milk an a banana. 850 calories. Twice a day. The snack was a third of a jar of honey roared peanuts and a glass of whole milk. About about another 600 calories. Twice a day. The rest of diet was the same. But adding 2900 calories to his diet along with lifting (which also triggered his appetite) and he was in that 4500 calorie range very quickly.
Since this thread has taken a slight detour, tell me more about Isagenix. I started the year on Thrive shakes, patches, and vitamins, lost 27 pounds in 2 and 1/2 months. Decided the nearly $200 a month price tag was pricey and switched to garcenia cambogia tablets, Body Fortress Whey Protein shakes, trying to take a shot of Braggs apple cider vinegar daily (with the mother) and a little walking, running, and cycling, very little mind you but something and dusted off a set of dumbbells and have only lost a net 2 pounds in the last month. My goal was to lose 12 more pounds but the brick wall is in the way. I need to convert my man breasts back into a chest.It can be, but it also has an entire performance line with added protein. It's pretty good stuff.
apple cider vinegar
lost 27 pounds in 2 and 1/2 months.
It does wonders for the blood pressure too. I checked mine today. 107/69. It almost scared me. Never been that low. Hope my ticker isn't giving out.:eek:I am a big believer in adding this to a person's diet. A cup of blueberries a day, too.
Let's just say; you'll clean out...
