There was a test a while back, in the US I believe. They told a certain amount of inmates in a prison that they'd be released early if they could gain a significant amount of weight. So of course, the inmates ate like pigs. Free extra food, and a get out of jail early incentive meant that it was pretty certain they'd try their best to put on weight. A lot of them did, but some of them, no matter how much they ate, and how little they did physically, could not put on the required gain in weight. So if you're like one of those guys, you'll struggle. Some of us just can't put on weight.
@RandomHero666: I use a protein supplement called amplified wheybolic extreme 60, and that accompanied with intense lifting adds a good deal of muscle.
Weight training and calories. 8-10 reps and 3-4 sets of each exercise. You want a lower number of reps to build muscle. Also, cardio is good for "getting in shape" as a whole, but if you're trying to put on weight, you don't want to burn too many calories. As for food, eat a lot of meat, nuts, eggs, etc. Not junk food, but high calorie/high protein foods.
Hey man I am a fellow gump and i feel your pain. Im 6'4 170lbs and you just need to go to the gym every other day and eat a shit load of protein and vegetables. Baked chicken, protein shakes, and plenty of veggies should do the trick. Thats what I have been doing all summer and i have put on ten pounds so it is definitley working
If you're trying to bulk up (gain muscles) get a membership at a local gym. You can find lots of good training regimes on the internet, like Bodybuilding.com. You might think Bodybuilding.com is only for bodybuilers that are super serious about this but there are a lot of useful tips for amateurs or beginners. As for diets, you need lots of protein. Get some protein powder, and perhaps even other supplements later on, like creatine. Chicken, eggs and fish are all good examples of high protein foods.
