hey everyone...good to meet you...I Need some advice

Hey Everyone,

I'm a skinny bastard. I'm 21, 5'6 ectomorph, 130 LBS. I've been skinny all my life, was dumb and smoked for the last 5 years.

I tried to bulk up once; I quit smoking, ate til I almost puked, worked out (though I didn't really know what I was doing) and ended up weighing like 150 pounds, which was the most I ever weighed; then I lost it all in about 3 months of not working out.

Now recently I've gone through this whole life-revelation thing; I just quit smoking and want to be on my way to living a healthy, active life.

I figure I want to put on some mass....as much as I can. I just wanna do it the best way possible.

Any suggestions?

Thanks everyone!

k...so I roam around and find Pembo's post...I just have 2 questions now:
what sorts of gainers or powders should I be taking? How many times a day?

Welcome aboard.

Take a look in the Supplements forum. You need a good protein.

Welcome was in the same boat, 5'7" went from 135 to 185 in 1 year without drugs. Welcome aboard.

Get some protein, glutamine, creatine, and eat like hell.
