Any tips on what seem to do ? Been readin through most of the forums.
Sorry about the pics, all im able to use is some bad quality webcam :/
There's no "secret" to putting on muscle mass.
1) Train hard and heavy. Stick to the basic compound movements (squats, bench, deadlift, dips, shoulder presses, etc), and 95% of your workouts should be free-weights.
2) Eat big. Take in 1-2g protein per lb of bodyweight. You don't look carb sensitive, so really pound down the carbs and keep fats moderate. Also, drink at least 1 gallon of water a day.
3) Rest. There is a saying, "you get strong in the gym, but you get big outside the gym". Your body needs adequate rest to recover and grow, so make sure you sleep 8 hours at least every night.
4) Repeat. Keep these 3 factors consistent, and the gains you are looking for WILL come in time. "Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was a championship physique" - Arnold.

As for OP, Hamish is correct, there is no secret. Just lift hard, eat big, and be consistent.
