Good! Sounds like you have a good plan. Just stick with it! For me personally, since we have similar body types, i thought id add that full body splits never worked for me, I found that a 3 day split, push/pull kind of workout worked best when i put on a majority of my muscle before.

Eating casein protein (cottage cheese, greek yogurt, powder) before bed also helped me. If you want to put on size you need to focus on your carb intake just as much as your protein. As your workouts get more intense start increasing your protein intake. Try to incorporate eggs, chicken, brown rice into an everyday meal plan. Other mass gain options: nuts, beans, red meat, yams, yogurt, broccoli, spinach

An intense run in the morning will jumpstart your appetite. I would only suggest this if your having difficulty staying hungry all day. This is not a cardio sesssion and should only be used in an effort to build your appetitie; 1 fast lap around the block should do it.

Ohh, I understand. Hmm, well modify. You don't need a bunch of expensive equipment. Try Using househould items. And if need be, just do push ups and sit ups for awhile. You can even do dips between two chairs. I wouldn't stress about it all though. Currently I'm broke too due to a lot of stuff happening on my end. But I won't say too much more. Just keep working with what you've got. I think you have potential!

I would suggest a few things. Go for an intense run first thing in the morning. Dont worry about how far you run, just how hard. Eat a small meal (clean foods) every 3 hours or so. This may be challenging at first but keep at it.

My second tip would be to not focus on protien, protein, protein. Cuz if you focus is on gaining mass and learning how to diet, then you probably won't do it. I would say to start out eating more balanced meals. And as you begin to make progress in your night work outs, gradually shift in the other changes. It's going to take time. But you will not regret the results you begin to get. Then after a couple months or so, you can intensify things. If you need some help, ask me.

I have a real BIG tip for you! Starting out, don't stress over your diet and work out. If you do it's not fun. NO FUN=NO PASSION. The best thing I would suggest would be to buy yourself some dumbells and a pull up bar. And every night before you go to bed, do some crunches, push ups, pull ups and arm curls. You don't have to do a lot, but it'll get you in the feel for building a base.

Thanks for the inspiration add! How've you been?! You made any progress with you training goals lately?!

Alot of heart and a big appetite are notable ingredients to gaining size. For your training focus on dynamic mass building movements: Squats, Bench Press, Deadlifts...If your like me and dont have a partner use a Smith Machine. Best of luck!

Hey man, I really know how you feel. I went into bootcamp underweight (119 lbs). 3 months later I came out at about 135 lbs which is the biggest I had ever been in my life. Secret: They shoved food down my throat and forced me to stay active. You have a very positve outlook. I wish you the very best in reaching your goals. From one skinny guy to another.
