Hey everyone how is it going. This post is about me looking for direction. I am a tall skinny guy (6'1'' and 130 lbs) no matter what I do I can't seem to put on any weight. I am looking to gain weight, perferably in muscle, and was wondering what you would suggest in terms of diet,lifting,and supplements. In terms of equipment I am starting off with very little. My equipment at the moment includes a small selection of dumbells (ranging from 5-20 lbs) and a small weider home gym which has maybe 80 lbs of weight. Any insight into additional equipment and where to get it would also be a great help. Thank you all in advance and feel free to send me an IM.

Just Starting, could really use some help

find out how many calories you are consuming now and then add to it. do you have a meal plan in place now? we could work off of that if you have one
as for training, concentrate the majority of your efforts into the basic compound mulit--joint movements like squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, chins and dips.

Ok thanks I will get right on that. As for a meal plan I really do not have one in place. I am a communiting college student so I really do not have time to prepare a full nutritious breakfast. when it comes to meal plans, is it better to do small meals throughout the day, or just focus on the three main meals? Thanks agin for all your help.
typical guidelines are smaller meals (b/w 4 and 6) more often during the day (roughly 3 hours apart from each other)cracka jac said:when it comes to meal plans, is it better to do small meals throughout the day, or just focus on the three main meals?

some rough meal ideas as follows
breakfast: oats, eggs, fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, homemade pancakes, high protein cold cereals, etc
mid morning and mid afternoon snacks: cottage cheese, yogurt, pop top cans of tuna, chicken or salmon, sandwiches, homemade protein shakes or bars, fruit, nuts, etc
lunch and supper: chicken or lean red meat or fish or turkey with sweet potatoes or brown rice or veggies, beans, etc
before bed: cottage cheese, milk, yogurt, peanut or almond butter, eggs, nuts, etc
Thanks again this is a great help, once I get the plan done ill post. Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated.
