Your diet is going to be the most important part of any physical change you hope to see. Try to get on a good diet plan first before considering any gear.

Check out our diet forum, and post up your diet in there for everyone to critique, then go from there.

Good luck and BE CAREFUL

If you want black and white advice, your not eating enough. If your not gaining weight your not eating enough its that simple.

i'm no expert by any means. but at 20, i don't think you should be looking for gear just yet. especially if you've only been "work out a little while now" I'm not sure about everyone here, but i worked out for 9 years before i ever thought about gear. do yourself a favor, and think it over a little bit. at least another year. I mean if a young kid wants to shoot, he's gonna shoot. all we can do is give the best advice we can to make sure they do it as safe as possible. but look into other alternatives before looking to gear. protein and creatine. some NO like NO-Extreme.

Yeh It sounds like you have a fast metabolism and to be honest, if you are not eating enough now, then you will even need more during a cycle! If not you will actually hurt yourself by depriving yourself of nutrients! basically what i am saying is find out how many calories you are eating a day right now and add 1500+ a day to it! then you will start to see some progress

I have been told by many a massive body builder that diet is 60-70percent of making gains in weight and size.also make sure u are working ur legs properly.the fastest way to get a big upper body is by getting a big lower body.no shit.

Ok so if I need lots of extra calories that's fine. But how do I stay cut up while dooing all that without getting fat. Cause its beach season and I wanna get bigger but not in the stomache

Easy, clean diet, keep the salt LOW, lots of water and cardio

Prioritize your priorities.You have 3 or 4 years before you can run gear.Your metabolize is so fast, I doubt you would get fat, while working out,Diet section is really a good place to start.
