About 152ish on a good day. If I don't eat anything dry weight like 150. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

As small as you are right now, you should easily be able to gain a pound a week for quite a while, you should be eating at least 2500 calories a day, 600-1000 of them coming from protein (150-250g) the rest split evenly between healthy fats and complex carbs

Thats only three shakes a day one in the morning mid day then after your workout and you should be set.

I do take in about 30-35g average daily of protein plus many vitamins etc etc. I do chest/tri's on Monday/Thursday. Legs/shoulders Tuesday/Friday. Back/bi's Wed/Saturday. Sunday off.

That is the problem. You should be shooting for 30-35g of protein PER MEAL. And try to get in 5 small meals a day.

weight is only a number... ive been bodybuilding for a while now and is see kids curling 45pounds but their form blows and they swing it up. get more on concentration exercises (ie. preacher curls for bi's, ect) up your weight and do sets of 6. ie bench 3x6 @ 80-90% of your max. ie. max = 225 sets = 3x6 @ 190lbs. eat more and if your really serious get on monohydrate creatine. not any other kind just the regular monohydrate from gnc.

Wrong, weight has everything to do with it. Muscle is heavy, if you aren't, the muscle just isn't there, and never will be if you don't eat more than your body needs to sustain itself.

Also, he shouldn't be doing concentration exercises at all really. Fastest way to bulk up is to do big exercises that call on many muscles at once doing a lot of work. OP, forget about the small exercises for a while, and concentrate on doing primarily: bench press, squats, deadlifts, rows, and shoulder presses. Those big complex movements stimulate the release of the highest amounts of natural HGH (human growth hormone) in your body as well as testosterone, and you will always see the biggest gains mass-wise from them, provided you eat plenty.

Olympic lifts would be a good idea too if your gym has platforms for it, but you'd need someone who knows what they're doing to teach you how to do them properly

don't feel bad. i'm six feet tall and weight 145. i go to the gym too and can do as much as a friend of mine that weighs about 35 pounds more than me.

WAY more protein, and make sure u are really concentrating on fatiguing the particular muscles u are working (like with bicep curls really concentrating on only using your bicep to get the weight up) you will do less weight but its more effective... other than that it just takes a really really long time and sticking to it... my problem is i stop lifting for long spurts of time and almost have to start all over... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

And o ya dont get all your cals in 3 meals or so for the day, you should be eating at least something with protein in it all the time. If you get hungry its a problem, you should be full ALL THE TIME so you know that your body is not in a catabolic state. Go read the forums @ http://www.animalpak.com, everything you need to know and way more is there. GL!

I said at LEAST..that'll be enough to start putting on weight especially if there's a lot of protein in it, realistically he could be eating up to more like 3500 before he starts to put on much unnecesary fat

protein intake could be upped. Form also plays a key role. You can lift heavy weight all you want but if you aren't focusing on keeping your form correct, then you aren't getting the best gains. Plus do some negative workouts, it'll shock the muscles.
