bro, how much do you weight currently and how tall are you? are you overall skinny bony type or are you skinny but have some belly fat?

if u have a bit of belly fat means ur metabolism isnt really that high...u can gain weight and built considerable amount of muscle easier compared to really skinny ppl that doesnt even have belly fat...

u concentrate too much on protein amount until u forget about total calorie intake me thinks.... try up ur calorie intake by 3000kcal per day for a start... i read somewhere the ectomorph type guy able to increase almost 30 pounds of weight in just 3 months...but he eats ard 5000kcal perday and he starts with 3000kcal per day...

i recently gain weight frm 59kg to almost 65kg height 170cm in a space of 3 months...and my weight already hit a plateau the past 4 weeks...my average daily calorie intake ard 2.2k-2.4kcal plus daily gym exercise 20 minutes 2-3 routine...this much kcal intake is sufficient for body and weight maintenance...but not sufficient for any noticeable weight increase anymore for me.... splitting meals every 3 hours only go so far...the next step for me is to up those calorie intake per meal...

ur ideal weight should be ard 73kg with bmi at 22.5.....that is the rate whr you look just nice not too fat or too skinny...if u weight lift and get that weight u will look really smart wearing any type of shirt...

some tips for ur workout session....lift real heavy but low repetition around 6/7 per set n do 3 sets...make sure by the 2nd n 3rd set set thrs a fail final few reps....give only 1 minute break between every set...if u want to bulk up then follow it...it works for me...if u spend only 20 mins workout per day you can workout every day...if u put higher intensity workout more than 40 mins and too much sets then u should rest the next day...you will see big improvement the 1st month if u do it right...

hi bro. yes agree that bmi is shite, but specifically for pro athletes...i got a monster best friend whose height only ard 168cm but weight in ard 86kg....it would be considered very obese but hes muscled pack...

im giving ts tips if he wants to gain weight as a casual weight lifter n having ideal weight for normal person n non athlete type...not everyone aim to become hardcore bodybuilder...some ectomorph dude like me just need to look good in shirts with broad n strong looking shoulder, puffed chest, full looking arms...
