Gaining muscle?

Options
Hey guys just looking for some general info/opinions on how to train and eat to gain muscle!

I'm at 20 year old female who has always had a very very small build, always bullied for my weight and told by people I have an eating disorder.

I don't want to take in to the extreme of fitness competitions or anything like that, but I would like to build a lot more muscle and look super tonned. No really sure where to start, a lot of info online is directed at males, and I'm not sure if that also applies to females.

Would really appreciate any info, opinions, personal experiences etc.

Thanks in advance guys

    Eat at a surplus and follow a progressive resistance programme like http://stronglifts.com/5x5/

    The post above mentions stronglifts 5x5. This is one of the most effective programs out there. It builds a solid foundation of both strength and mass. Its also incredibly simple. Maybe try to add some pullups and dips if you can. Good luck! :)
