i am currently 16 and was wondering just how to get big. for about a week ive beening reading forums and such but have not really worked out… the reason is i dont know really what i should do ?
mostly my friends workout for a while and i see great difference over a couple months ! the thing is i just dont gain weight at all… i eat about 7-8 meals(small meals) a day but dont gain a single pound…well i dont know what esle to do. any ideas with that? is there anything that can make me a little " fatter " i only weigh about 130ish and my goal is to reach 190-200 pounds. i am planning to workout in the summer but i need a program to follow and such? i was also trying to get a protein shake and cretin but wasnt sure if they were right for me ?

Please Help =]

Instead of 8 small meals, eat 8 big meals.

I don’t think Starting Strength can be emphasized enough. I wish I knew about it 10 years ago when I was in high school. OP, do this routine, the entire routine to the tee (yes, squatting three days a week is difficult, but man up!) and eat, eat, eat.

Sounds like you have to outpace your metabolism. I eat 6-8 numerous small meals to lose weight. Not gain weight. Eat big.

Protein and Creatine are appropriate.

Don’t use the protein to replace real food but have a scoop or 2 upon waking and before bed and after working out. Read the nutrition stickies.

You don’t need a lot of creatine, 1 tsp (5 grams) a day is loads.

That’s about all the supps you need with the possible addition of fish oil if you don’t get much fish in your diet. A multi-vitamin.
