Hi....Need help...

Hi all,

Well I'm just new to the board. I'm a 23 year old male, 5'10" tall and weighs around 10st. I'm quite thin and really, really want to gain weight. I have tried supplements before and light weight training with dumb-bells at home but that didn't really do much because to be honest I wasn't sure what I was doing. I looked through the net a little while back and found buildsize.com. Seemed quite good but I'm just wondering does that kind of program work the way it says it does? I basically need a complete program to stick to so that I can discipline myself.
Any help will go a long way.

Thanks all......

First off, supplements will only begin to work if you are eating well and traiing hard, thats more than likely why you were not getting any results when you took them and only trained with light weights.

You need to do compound movements to build your body up, these are: -

Bench Press
Shoulder Press
Squats
Bicep Curls
Chin-Ups Or Lat Pulldowns
Triceps Pushdown Or Dips

These movements invlove alot of muscles and therefore will make your muscles respond quicker than trying to isolate them.

Make sure your eating enough protein (2gm per kg of body weight), eating sufficiant carbs to fuel your workouts and do about 3-4 sets per exercise of between 6-10 repetitions.

Eat about 5 times a day, prefabley 6-7 times to help keep your muscles fueled and constant supplies of Amino Acids.

Train hard and rest hard!

After about 4-5 months you will notice your size and then you would look at different movements to develop the muscles further (after building the bulk).

Good luck!
