weight gaining

Focusing on the large muscle groups will help increase your muscle mass. The larger the muscle, the more weight you will gain. I went from 120lbs to 170 lbs in 4 years without paying any attention to diet or taking a single supplement or drinking some protein shake. Just simple weight training with the purpose of developing the muscles, special emphasis on the shoulders, upper chest, triceps and lats. 8 years later with minimal weight lifting, I still weigh 170 lbs at age 32.

That's exactly right. I like to do all my stuff naturally with the exception of a protein shake here and there. For those saying to eat a bunch of meals, your problem there is the fact that eating often makes you burn more calories.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I was super skinny my whole life, but since 2nd semester in college I have gained a shitload of weight. I think it was pretty much due to the fact that I eat shitty food, dont exercise as much and drink a lot of beer. I think if you just want fat and not muscle I would just do what I did, but now I am trying to cut down about 5-7 pounds so I can workout on that base.

Wait, wait. I didn't read the entire thread. Someone just wants to be fat?
