Go to a Gym!
You may want to go to a gym to build up your muscle mass which will help with gaining "weight". You can also get protein drinks which aid muscle growth and weight gain. However, I am not sure how effective these are. You obviously do not want to compromise your diet with junk food etc. As ...

Protein Intake
For training purposes it is said that you should take 1g of protein to each lb of body weight.
Has anyone got any idea how to eat that much protein at over 190lbs?
I eat two tins of Tuna a day but still cannot see how it is done!

Good tips
For the record, I am extremely active, I also drink around 4-5 litres of water per day, and I'm up at 5.45am for work!!! Coffee is awful, however I believe green tea is good, is this correct?

Body fat storage issue
Having started training recently I realise that reducing fat take time. However, should I spend more time targeting the areas in which fat is stored on the body. I do drink a fair amount of alcohol at weekends, but also drink plenty of water during the week/weekend. And diet is not too bad. I also l...

I am also beginning a programme like yourself, although I am 26 so it is proving more difficult for me. I do core exercises; Incline Bench 1-2 sets/10-12 reps warm up. Then 4-5 sets/8-10 reps working. I do the same with a Lat pulldown, straight bar. I also do EZ Bar bicep curls, lat raises, tricep p...
