Alrighty, so firstly, some details.
I'm 18, about 5'11", and weight about 130 lbs.
In short, I practically can't gain weight no matter what I do, lol. I mean, I don't necessarily eat to gain weight, but I eat whatever. (Example, most nights I chow down on the most unhealthy stuff you can think of on top of a nice sized breakfast/lunch/dinner and I think i LOSE weight from it.)
I do not consider myself "active". I spend most of my days in the house not doing much, occasionally going out with friends, again, not doing much. So I'm guessing my metabolism must be off-the-charts high.
Either way, I'd really like to start focussing on gaining some weight and muscle.
I just want to say going to a public gym is sorta out of the question at this point in time. I do have a bench at home with dumbbells, barbells, and about 100lbs in weights.
Now that I got all the details you should need out, lets get to the question. How do I gain some weight? I'm sorta afraid that if I gain 5 lbs or so, I'll "feel" it or something. It sounds stupid, but I guess I'm afraid of gaining too much weight or something.
Also, what's a good routine I can do every day / MWF? I have college during the day, but I'm free once I get home.
One important point - My back isn't great at all. I have a spine condition that prevents me from putting too much strain on it without suffering some pretty nagging pain. Example - I have to stop my crunches b/c of back pain rather than ab pain.
Wow. What a life story.
Anyway, any help/tips appreciated.
