Will need an applicable training program in addition to a suitable caloric surplus if you want to “build muscle”...

Perhaps a better training protocol would be more suitable for achieving your goals. I would suggest something that incorporates barbell squat, bench, press and deadlift with an appropriate progressive overload scheme...

I have a squat rack and weight set in the basement. When the kids were a few years younger they went downstairs with me into the pack-and-play and watched Netflix. Did many squat reps to my little pony and transformer rescuebots...

Oops wrong post sorry!

Personally I invested in a squat rack, Olympic weight set and flat bench for less than $1k and do squat, bench, press and deadlift at home. Best bang for the buck training wise and I can do it very easily with busy kid schedules and the like not having to travel to the gym. The investment has paid itself many times over…

Burpees till ya puke! Haha just kidding don’t need to do that many...

You’ll have to elaborate on “quality exercises” and “sufficient calories”...

Why not? If it’s something that interests you then go for it!

It would seem then that my dictionary has failed me...

If you are considerably “underweight” and “weak” it could be beneficial to gain weight at an accelerated rate for a short time while performing an appropriate training protocol. If you don’t mind, what is your current age, height, weight, strength level and training program? And fat doesn’t “turn into muscle” in the…

Too much liability in a litigious society to prescribe something effective that may have some minuscule risk involved whether real or imagined. Better to stay out of court than to be effective. If you want effective rehab you’ll have to assume all the risk for yourself...

Squats

Have you ever seen someone who pressed 100kg, benched 150kg, squatted 200kg, and deadlifted 250kg who was “skinny and boney”? My suggestion would be to do, if you haven’t already, a linear progression program like Starting Strength for a couple months. Then move on to whatever intermediate style program trips your trigger…

True ... unless they are 90 years old 😉...

Absolute weight on the bar is not overly indicative of training advancement, it’s more about appropriate stress application and recovery. A “beginner” could potentially lift more weight than an “intermediate” and the two could require vastly different programming to progress...

The PT routine is not really doing anything?

Keep in mind that you can eat in a sensible way to minimize fat gain: https://www.andybaker.com/building-a-simple-diet-for-mass/ What training program are you running? 3x10 is generally not what is used for increasing strength...

Well then I guess you have your answer on what needs to be done...

How strong are you? Guys with 400+# squats generally don’t have skinny legs...

You are a young man with tons of potential ahead of you. You will need to train hard and you will need to eat ALOT. Don’t cut yourself short by not eating enough because you are worried about getting fat. Eat sensibly and in quantity. You will gain a little fat but can get immensely stronger build some muscle and not be a…

Right...

What does being sore have to do with anything? More sore doesn’t mean better training protocol...

This works great for keeping my hips loose: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3B-3Khbht5s
