bro i feel you

i am chinese as well and being skinny was a curse that i had to live with my entire life...until now.

i have been working out very casually from about 2006 to 2009, but then i started getting serious.

after eating like a madman (literally 6-7 times a day) and working out at least 3 times a week (no cardio, all weight training, making sure u push yourself hard), i was able to gain around 15 pounds in the last 3 months (from 145 to almost 160lb).

if i can give you any piece of advice, firstly i must stress your diet. you need to be eating LOTS! and the food should not be junk food either. brown rice and whole wheat grains, lean meats (chicken breast is great), yogurts, cheeses, and LOTS of carbs which you will need for energy during workouts (potatoes, pasta, rice). NUTRITION IS THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN GAINING WEIGHT AS WELL AS LOSING WEIGHT!!

I have also been taking lots of mass gainer (specifically isomass) and it has helped immensely. it is also convenient to take mass gainer because it can act as a meal supplement or as a snack when you have nothing to eat.

find a buddy or buddies to work out with. they will hold you accountable for being at the gym on a regular basis and can also act as motivators and spotters.

DO not do cardio! you will only gain weight by intaking more calories than you are burning!!!

make sure that you are always challenging yourself. if you are lifting 25lbs today, try to do 30lbs next week. if you couldnt do 30lbs, then do a few more reps of 25lbs.

follow these steps that I have outlined for you, and results will come indefinitely.
