I am 21, 135lbs, and about 6'0". I have been tall and thin all of my life. I want to change it badly; I am tired of being thin. The obvious answer is to eat more, but what exactly should I eat, and how much of it? Is there a new diet I can start? I lift weights, but that doesn't yield much. I am lost. Can anyone help?

You are a classic "Ectomorph" body type, which means you have a raging metabolism which makes it extremely hard to put on weight. Like the guy said before me, if you are serious about this, you have to both eat A LOT (5000 calories), and rip it up at the gym. This will be as hard as someone extremely overweight (due to the opposite problem; a slow metabolism), so it will take extreme dedication and hard work.
I suggest a weight gain powder, which will make it much easier to reach 5000 calories a day
Good luck!

Muscles construct after they ought to paintings in opposition to plenty of resistance, so any activity you do could contain an growing quantity of weight. Without utilising weights and depending to your possess frame weight you'll be able to most effective take this thus far. For illustration, do not feel doing a thousand press usais the exceptional method to get abs, if you happen to desire abs you have to be doing three units of eight-10 weighted and willing situps 3 instances every week. Basically some thing activity you do with out weights goes to speedily emerge as useless for gaining muscle tissues.
