What kind of weight gainer shakes? Protein?

not to sound like a twat but I doubt you're strong with those stats.. two hours of gym a week really isnt much but ok
so you dont care if you gain 4kg of pure fat?
anyway.. yeah, instead of protein-specific shakes buy something like cytogainer, it's one of the best on the market in terms of calories/serving and taste but is quite expensive.

Eat lots of bread, cheese, pasta, rice, red meat.

Just eat

in america terms plz

yep. carbs, protein

also yes@ several meals a day. Big breakfast, eat a lot in between. No junk food. Protein is great for building muscle, but twice a week@1hr isn't really a lot of workout time.

More than likely you won't gain weight for quite a few more years. I also tried gaining weight - it has a lot to do with eating correctly. Thanks to my erratic schedule, I don't really have the time/patience to commit myself to doing it correctly, so I probably won't gain any weight. Also, I've seen the pictures you've posted - yes, you could have more strength.

I visit the gym 3 times a week for anywhere between 1-2hrs. Better results would be every day (or weekday) for about an hour. It takes about 2 days for your muscles to rebuild, so alternating workouts is great.

ex: Workout A:

Squat 3 sets
Bench 3 sets
Lats 3 sets
Triceps 3 sets
Abs
Cardio


Workout B:

Incline 3 sets
Lunge 3 sets
Bicep/Shoulder/Back
Knee raises 3 sets
(abs)
Cardio


That way you work out different muscles every other day and give them time to rebuild before working them again. Eating a good meal after you work out really helps (lactic acid innit?). Unless you do it correctly, you probably won't see progress or at least the progress you're looking for. I know from experience.

$.02

ed: im sitting at 5'11 135lb. bench 155, 6 minute mile, no idea on squat/lunge since i have no workout buddy.

I'm like 5'11" and weigh 8 1/2 stone. Tried the protein shakes and gym etc, made no difference, went to the doctor to ask if it was a problem and he said it was just the way I was built.

Sweet feathery Jesus! I always get mildly concerned when there are people skinnier than I am.

i'm 6"1, 16 years old and i weigh 8 stone
