You will need to supply a bunch more details. Age, weight, approx body fat, experience level etc. The more effort you put into your question, the more effort people will usually put into an answer.

It's a question that can't be answered (for you). You need to answer it yourself - The answer is 'whatever you feel good at'. I am also 6'4" but am an ectomorph. I don't gain weight easily and I have to lift heavy to get it. And have just started eating and weight training again. Beginning at 183 pounds. My biggest was 204…

Nice one. As others have said some of that will likely be water weight/internal food weight. But who cares. I used to like weighing myself (as well as my normal weigh-in) after drinking a massive 34oz shake. It was a great psychological boost to see a big new number on the scales, and gave me a little motivation boost…

Agree with the above. Add calories. Also look at your lifting. Are you lifting more (heavier) weights than you were two months ago / one month ago? If not, start lifting heavier each time (just keep incrementally increasing the stress on those muscles). Your body may simply have adjusted to the pattern/level of lifting you…

Some more info would be helpful. His height, weight and approx body fat would be good. Hard to say if 2500 cals is high or average for him Secondly, does he want to gain muscle, or just "weight". The rest of this is advice for someone just wanting to add 'weight'. Muscle would be generally the same, but requires…

Training "hard" means barely able to complete your reps (almost failure) on each set with good form. Think of it this way - If you are naturally slim (as I am) your body wants to stay in this slim state. For muscle growth, you are asking your body to do something that is biologically inefficient... Creating more expensive…

Chicken. Brown rice, beans, tuna, frozen mixed vege, eggs, cottage cheese, trim milk, simple flavoured whey protein (don't be duped into miracle powders). The key to cheap bulking is being prepared. And preparation in bulk. Get a bunch of snaplock containers (most important investment) and prepare a bunch of meals at the…

All you are going to achieve doing that is (eventually) diabetes. Do you have any experience lifting weights?

Hi Kevin, There are three aspects to weight gain - Lifting, Eating and resting. Sounds like the part you are missing is the lifting (and possibly sufficient resting). You need to be lifting heavy weights (for you) that prompting a defensive response from your body. Creating muscle makes no sense to your body. You actually…

No matter how many times I read that Title, it still comes off a seedy and Craigslisty. It's not. Promise. :\

Hi Chief, My goal to be over 200lbs (conversion issues) this time next year, which I've been at before (many years ago) after a year of a dedicated weight training program. I have another 6 months up my sleeve to make that look good :) Cheers, PG
