Answer 1

Eat right.

In order to gain weight the "general rule" is to eat approximately 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of your body weight a day. So in your case you would have to get at LEAST 165 grams of protein a day! It's fairly easy. Go to a friendly bodybuilding website and get some good info. bodybuilding.com is a good one and not everyone on there is a "musclehead"!

Keep your reps around 6-8 for building muscle. But mix it up, have heavy days(6-8 reps) and light days(12-15 reps). Be VERY careful NOT to overtrain! Get plenty of rest!!!!!

Take your time, do NOT give up. May take 3 months to see a difference! It WILL be worth it. You can do it!


Good luck!
