I want to be bigger...

Im 21 and Im kinda skinny I weigh like 9.5stone... I want to be bigger so im going to try and eat more calories... im also starting to lift weights... Ive heard about something called creatine which apparently helps build muscles stronger after working out is this a recommended product? also what sort of work out plan should I be doing... so far im just doing like 50 situps a day and lifting weights.
 
First find out what your nutritional requirements are, like how many calories/protein/carbs/ you need to get results. You can either ask an expert or google search information on it.


As for training, I would recommend compound exercises: Squats, deadlifts, and bench press. Also a few body weight exercises like push ups and pull ups don't hurt. You don't have to perform isolation exercises like arm curls or leg extensions because your entire body is being utilized by squats and deadlifts alone. Bench press will help build your upper body.


It's best to work out 2-3 times a week for this kind of strength training and eat a lot. Plan your meals and count your calories, protein, etc. It's easiest to try for 5-6 meals spread throughout the day, because if you have a fast metabolism you won't be able to repair muscle tissue fast enough to make gains, and you'll get tired from not refueling your body enough.


Include one rest day in between each workout.
