Well, i am new to this board, and i would like some advice
I was born skinny and i can't seem to gain much weight. i eat healthy and excessively to try to gain the weight, but it does not seem to work. Currently, i am trying to gain muscle mass. Does anyone have advice, any advice on this?
Sets? rep? which exercises best for which muscle group? etc.. open to any advice

Age: 15 , beginner to weight training

i can relate to being born skinny to, i put on some good weight last year, lost it this year though, but all i did was eat lots and lift heaps

Your only 15, for most people in the next few years you'll see natural weight gain anyway! But if your not gaining, its as simple as that your not eating enough.

Read the stickys in the weight training section.

And welcome

Yeah, not eating enough is the key. Skinny people has a high metabolism so your body burns calories too damn quick lol, on top of that when you workout you'll burn even more calories. You need to eat more, or learn how to eat more, and then know how to work out. The less reps (due to amount of weight lifting) the bigger muscle mass you'll develop. As BigTomW suggested, you should read the stickys

Good luck!

As a Certified Personal Trainer, I can agree with the posts above about nutrition. I know you said you eat exessively but I can tell you know that it's still probably not enough. Most professional bodybuilders must take supplements that fuel their appetite just to force themselves to eat more than they normally would. So I would suggest, even though it may be hard, eat more! And if you are truly looking to add muscle mass, shoot to take in one gram of protein for every pound you are (120 g protein for 120 pounds lean muscle mass). Do this by eating lean meats like chicken, turkey, fish and possibly getting a protein supplement. With this, your goal for reps/sets should be 6-10 reps for 3-6 sets. I hope this helps!

Sorry to ask here, but what do you mean with this? 1g of protein for every pound of his body weight? So if I weight 196 I should be eating 196 g of protein?

yup. It's hard, trust me. many body builders take in at least 1 - 1.5 g for every pound.

I don't get why people think that's hard. I eat about 1.5 per lb of bodyweight without even really trying. I only eat meat twice a day.

You might need to eat more than most people your size, but there is a point where you will gain weight.

I weigh 193 and I'm currently eating 5000 calories a day to bulk (1 to 1.5 lbs a week) I cut at around 4000 cals

You're 15!!!

Give yourself some time! I was like you when I was young, I could eat ENDLESSLY and not gain a ounce. I was 5'7" and 110 lbs. I would stuff my face all day long and just wouldn't gain anything.

But as I got older my body adjusted, and the metabolism started slowing down.

Start exercising, and eating right and get yourself into the healthy habits that will be GOLDEN for you in the future. It WILL happen, as you grow and as you get older, your body will change, and you'll be two steps ahead!

Give your body time.... You are WAY young to be worrying about getting "big".

I say Get Healthy! and you will become the best you will be

When I was 15 I was about 5'11 and 140 lbs

yeah but that was naturally right?

right, I was skinny as hell and although I worked out, I was clueless about diet. I had no idea how many calories I was eating. I wanted to gain weight but "couldn't"

ok, so you learned to eat right and exercise and you gained...naturally right?

I guess what i'm saying is, if you got bigger, then it was genetically possible for you already to get bigger you just had to find what worked for you.

If you had ate and ate and exercised and exercised and nothing happened, then it would be just as natural right?

some people take longer for their bodies to develope is what I was getting at. If he eats right and exercises, either he will or won't gain but at 15, his body still has a lot of changing to do and it could still happen at a later time for him....

yes?

Absolutely yes!

Your body doesn't really finish "growing" until you're about 25. And that's when you can start on your massive muscle gains. I'd have to confirm this, but I believe the human body's potential for building muscle maxes out at around 35.

I'm not saying you can't build muscle after that. It's just much more difficult because they are so many other factors coming into play.

Youth. It really is wasted on the young

Yes, you may have limitations as far as muscle growth, but it is possible to put on weight no matter who you are, there is a caloric level where your body has no choice
