You're still quite light.....

Look. The best way to do this is 5x 30-45 minutes workouts during the week. Leave 2 days rest, or if you want hardcore, then 1.

Stay away from Cardio, your metabolism is way too high for you to be concentrating on running miles and stuff.

Just do strength training, which will give you more muscle which will in turn give you more weight. You aren't quite strong (this is directed at Brad) simply because your weight shows you have barely any muscle mass.

Also, strength training means large heavy weight, even if you can only do a few reps. Doing several reps of the smaller ones wont do anything for increased size (which = increased weight).

My advice? Grab some weight gain stuff. Yeah, it's probably a long shot with your metabolism, but always worth a shot.
I always go for Optimum Nutrition or PHD Synergy stuff, but as PHD doesn't have a gainer, then ON is best.
http://www.discount-supplements.co.uk/s … sp?id=4662 <- yes, it's a british store, but there are thousands of US stores that sell it. It's huge.

That stuff should be good for you. And no, it wont give you the shits or anything else. They're the only two brands that actually do what they say they do without tasting like fart and vomit.

Start the day with either eggs or porridge, eat a large lunch, make sure it's full of protein, but balance it with fruit and veg. Snack. You don't need to snack unhealthily, just snack. Your body will get into a routine where it needs more food and will put on weight because of it. Now, there are some people that just cannot gain weight in any shape or form till their metabolism slows down, but you can at least try.

Everyone here working in stone and pounds, fuck sake. Work in kilograms you assholes, it's the universal unit of mass.

werd.


Also, centimeters.

Wake up in the middle of the night and eat a PBJ sandwich, couple of my friends for football did  that and they gained weight fast.

reason to gain weight?

Why not? He's skinny and wants to gain some mass...

Being skinny is a reason to gain weight? I'm skinny too, I thought he has a good reason or something. Most people would like to loose weight not gain it.

@zim: yer, I said I tried to gain weight and wasn't committed enough, so I didn't gain any. It was just a reference.

I run because I want to. I walk about 25 miles a week, so trying to gain weight is fairly trivial.

disagree. sort of.
stay away from long slow-twitch, "fat-burning zone" type runs.
do explosive runs (intervals, fartleks, short ruck runs) to balance your weight training.

You're 16, you're not supposed to be fat.
Just remember, every kilo you add now will be 5 you can't lose when you're 35.

I agree with Dilbert, sir

It's not about being fat, it's about having some weight on your body and not being a skinny runt.

You can easily watch your weight once your metabolism slows down if you just keep exercising and looking after what you eat, which of course, gets much harder once you start working. You get slack and then put on the kilos (note I didn't say pounds) but if you want to keep a regime, then you can keep your weight.

He's incredibly skinny and light for his age and it makes him feel uneasy (at least, I am guessing that). Confidence levels are much greater if you know you have a bit of mass to throw around and can't get picked up by the wind. It's not about wanting to be fat or be heavy, it's about wanting to be a decent weight and size.

I used to be really skinny as well, and now I can put on body mass easily with exercise whilst keeping it all healthy. I can also lose weight when I need to.

Gaining mass and muscle is all about discipline. The instant you start leaving a day or two behind on your training, that's when you will lose out. Sometimes it's hard, and sometimes you're tired, but as long as you keep at it, your body will respond positively.

@ Coronado: I disagree, as long as he wants to gain mass and not be "toned and fit", he doesn't need to do short bursts and sprints. He can leave that out till he's noticed a difference in weight, and then he can start balancing. At his age, it wont be a problem not balancing the weight training properly, and I'm sure as he's still in school and stuff, he'll be doing normal sports as well, which will balance it out anyway.
