I want to start working out but I struggle with gaining weight. How can I gain weight and build muscle mass? How much protein should I take in when I currently weigh 150 pounds? Does anyone know a good web site that shows good food to eat to help me in doing this?

Here is a good guideline to gain some serious muscle mass: Body Builders lift the heaviest weights they can manage while doing 8-12 reps. I would recommend 3 sets for all muscle groups. Every day eat 1-2 g of protein for every pound that you weigh. Make sure you count the grams of protein as you go. Do not lift weights every day. This is a mistake many people make. Your muscles need a rest to heal and build themselves up. Try to workout 3 times a week. (Maybe Mon Wed Fri) Get at LEAST 8 hours of sleep a night to heal those muscles. If your muscles are sore, do NOT workout. They are still healing. After every two months of working out, take a one week break of complete relaxation. Following this break, change up all of your exercises so that your muscles will not even recognize the new ones. They will be shocked into growth. Make sure you eat healthy; you need other vitamins as well. If you only eat high protein foods the protein will not go to your muscles; in order for your body to function properly, you must eat healthy in all areas. This means 5-6 meals a day, and every meal should include a good source of protein and a fruit and a vegetable. Before you workout, warm up. Jog for about 10 minutes and then stretch (dynamic stretches). Be INTENSE during your workout; motivate yourself. After your workout you should stretch (static stretches) and cool down (walk).

Experts say that you should take 1 gram of protein per bodyweight. This is a good rule of thumb. To start off, I would make sure never to skip a meal. Make sure to have a full carb and protein filled breakfast. Have a full lunch, and a full dinner with lots of protein. You can also supplement with weight gainers and protein shakes. To build mass make sure to do low reps and high weight. Other supplements that should be a staple in your bodybuilding regimine: creatine multivitamin Best of luck mate!
These guys took the words straight from my mouth, they are exactly right, make sure you are eating good amounts of proteins and carbs for every meal. Me, personally, i am 16 and in august in the summer i was a twig, weighing at 136. I wanted to get into lifting. So, i have been lifting and i went to GNC and purchased protein. Its called Wheybolic Extreme 60, one of the best products AND a reccommended company in Pro Performance. It has been 2 months since ive been lifting, and i can tell the difference. I have broader shoulders, some mass on my arms, and now that i see results, it motivates me to keep lifting on my every other day basis. Ive had Wheybolic Extreme 60 for 3 weeks and every 1.5 weeks i step on the scale. I Currently weight 147. So i suggest you think about purchasing this protein.
