Short introduction. I've been thin my entire life, i have this naturely (got it from my dad). Now i really don't care about being thin. I'm happy with the way i look, i've a gf and get more then enough attention from other girls. But recently it's became a real threat to my health.

I've had 2 collapsed lungs now over the last 3 years, and it's became very likely it comes from being tall and thin, when it happened for my 2nd time.

I've been trying weight gainers now, but god damn they taste awfull.

I don't know for what kinda advice i'm wondering for, but maybe you can help me find a way so that i eat properly everyday and maybe even a bit more than that.

Anyone ever had this problem.

In a society (western world) where the most common thing in the world is overweight i'm really looked upto like a rarity.

Plz help, it

Beer did the trick for me, along with being extraordinarily lazy. I'd give that a shot.

Height and weight please. Are you active?

Do about 2 months of highrep (12-15 reps) weight training, about 4 or 5 days a week. Stick to free weights (machines suck) and stick to compound lifts.

Eat a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Try to have something that resembles a meal about every 3 hours. Snack lightly in betwee. Try to get in 1 gram of protein per day, per pound of body weight (if you're 100 pounds, aim for 100 grams of protein a day). This is best achieved by eating a lot and having one or two protein shakes a day.

I recommend whey (mandatory) isopure (just a good brand). Glucose crystals are a plus.

After the two months your joints and whathaveyou will be ready to do some real lifting. Max-Ot (maximum overload training) is great for packing on weight. The reps are gonna be much lower now. Again, compound free weight lifts are the nuts. Pull-ups, bench press, military press, deadlifts, and squats are your friend.

Your body will absord protein to repair your muscle much better if your insulin levels are spiked. Do this by consuming some carbs after you workout, but before you have your protein shake. Sweet potatos are phenomenal (tasting and for you).

I have a lot more knowledge on this subject and my roommate has a stupid (read as shitload) more knowledge about it than myself. For further assistance, simply ask.
Boy, you got me confused with a man who repeats himself.

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

Poutine!

For those of you who are not familiar: this is a disgusting canadian dish, consisting of french fries, covered with processed cheese curds and smothered in gravy (sic).
