That's why you started bodybuilding right? You were a skinny kid. That's me anyway. 165 out of high school at 5'11''. I'm 6' 186 at age 21 now and gaining. I've only worked out a year or so and it was half-assed. Sometimes I took 2 weeks off. Still managed to gain 20 pounds of lean mass without using steroids.
I GNC weight gainer 2200 when I first started to kick start my training and get the necessary protein, calories, and amino acids. The stuff really worked for me. I ignored the directions and just used 2 scoops in 1 liter or so of whole milk once daily. I just cut the top off a 2-liter of Coca- Cola and that served as a good mixing jug. That was more than enough. That on top of eating everything in sight. At one point I was starting to collect some fat under my chin, but having a fast metabolism I was able to shed it very quickly. I think the stuff was great. It has 2200 calories, all your amino acids, and 40 grams of protein all in one. I'm to the point now that I don't feel like I need it.
Now I just eat whatever I want, but I make sure to get some extra protein in. I'm eating 4-6 eggs whites with 1 or 2 yokes daily. I try to get some red meat too. Nothing beats real food. Powders just don't compare. I'm going to incorporate situps in my routine shortly too. Doing situps when you just start is counterproductive for hardgainers. You just burn all the calories. Once you put on some weight and get the natural hormone levels going you can add them in.
I try to follow this guideline when working out -
I do 2 sets of each exercise and do about 3 or 4 exercises per bodypart.
I don't workout more than 3 days a week.
I only do heavy exercises like squats and deadlifts every other week, but not both the same week.
Once every month or so I take a week off.
On the second set of the exercise I go until failure using my other hand to assist the lift.
