  • @BrutalBaconz I'm struggling to build muscle. I'm 14, just considered bulking up and muscle building. I don't know what to eat to gain weight because I'm about 95 pounds and my ideal weight would be about 110 pounds! Also, I have high metabolism (ectomorph). What should I eat and how often should I workout?

  • @Ulpathilirium Idk how it came to me, but I started eating a lot of peanut butter at night (i took advice from the internet, peanut butter was my only high source of protein), i took spoons of them, i did this for like a week and i ate more in general.

    Along with that i would exercise in my free time, like when i wake up, after i do homework, before i go to sleep. Since then it turned into a schedule and i started making proper time for it.

    im kinda losing it now tho lol

    Thanks, J

  • when should you start working out at? im 15. and like i heard if you workout too early you don;t grow your height

  • @NBAPwns13 No thats a load of shit. There is no way it will stunt your growth. Start training now, and when your 17 and benching 120kg youll remember this comment.

  • seriously, the most BORING fucking thing about working out, is eating, you have to eat all the fucking time... sooo fucking annoying!!!! who the hell has the patience to eat 24/7? I weigh 64 kg, ive been working out 3 times a week for the bast 6 months, not 1 single fucking kg have I gained... this is bullshit! working out is retarded! and, who the hell has time to sleep 7-9 hours a day, to do that ive gotta take sleeping pills god fucking damn it

  • hey man can you give me some program how to workout and how to eat i'm 68kg and 181cm tall how many killos i need to put on me ?

  • why everyone who's talkin about muscles hold hands in that position... it make me sick... freakin folded hands on any muscle video -_-

  • Arnold didnt say that..

  • he told me to drink on a full belly make sure i have food on my stomach and i did and make sure its a full beer nothing lite and i did that as well and i am happy now it really worked i could not believe it

  • i see alot of the vids and he is right but b4 i joined the Marines i was 215 pounds did

    8 yrs in the corps i was trying to gain weight after i got out i ran into this old man that looked like he was 35 and he was 58 yrs old and jacked and i asked him how to gain weight and he told me no lie beer with every meal beer beer and more beer and tuna so i did it well i hve been working out for bout 3 yrs now and that first year i gain alot of weight i am 270 pounds and happy now budice was my beer

  • It's very possible to put on that much weight in 2 mths

  • do i take 4 meals a day or 5-6 meals a day with carbs + protein and veggies?

  • NOTE If used to kilogrammes: first calculate from kg -> lbs. Otherwise the 20-24 factor makes you eat WAY less then you need!

  • @Jazzpuhr Good point! Thanks for pointing that out.

  • it works lol

  • This guy seems actually helpful and nice

  • @MelbourneMaster thanks for the advice bro, but I attend gym(have been a year, TOUGH train) because I born with a "hole" in my chest. It's sunk. Everytime I take my shirt off, someone say: "hey, what do you have on your chest? LOL" It is pretty anoying. Since I started gym it was stopping, so I won't quit gym.

    So.. chest on mondays and fridays, ok, could you tell me the rest?

    Monday: chest and ???

    ...

    It really would help ! thanks again btw

  • im not good with math. . .

  • Comment removed

  • Can someone answer me? He says I need to do the workouts 3-4 times a week, so..I should do: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and.. Sunday?

    Sunday: my back and biceps | Monday: my chest and triceps | Wednesday: legs |

    Friday: ????

    How should I do? and.. should I work my abs everyday? i'm skinny, I'm going to gym have been 1 year. I was thinking about drinking 1 liter(1000ml) of milk per day, will that help?

    How many exercises of each category should I do?

    thumbs up so everyone can see! common questions!

  • @lbertolossi You wanna hit each muscle group twice a week. For example chest on mondays and fridays. You should give your specific muscle at least 3 days rest before hitting it again. No you dont have to drink 1L milk everyday. Just keep track of how many proteins you get each day. If you're a hardgainer (skinny) you should get about 2g protein pr. kg of bodyweight. BTW dont believe the title, with great nutrition the maximum you would expect to gain pr. year is about 5 kg (hardgain)

  • @lbertolossi if you are only 14 years old, I would strongly advise you to wait at least 3 years before working out. Its a very bad idea to do tough workout, because your bones aren't done growing. If you start now you danger the natural growth of you bones. I have a friend who started working out when he was 15, he worked out every day for 1 year, he is 20 today and since then he hasn't grown in height. So wait a couple of years kid, Im not kiddin, or ask your doctor for advise!

  • i don't disagree with your information but i kno for a fact u didn't but on 40lbs in a couple weeks...how long u been working out for? i don't like misleading advertisement..

  • i need help lowering my body fat % i have a medium sized body structure, will having a high protein nutrion help me achieve with lifting weights?

  • @dbsshadow want ur body fat lower? Jump ROPE!

  • Why would that be a fail? Lol ur fathers condom was a fail bitch! Good video man..

  • "Skinny to muscle in weeks"? Fail. Instant thumbs down.

  • my body mass 20-25 % body mass, and i eat 10'000 calories a day (wiff protein and calcium) and im SKINNY AS HELL lol

  • Shit! He said to rest! Worked a 13hr shift today, and is 1:30am and I have to get up at 7am! I should go to bed!

  • Great vid - Thanks.

  • how long did it take yuh to get from 115lbs to almost 160 like yuh said, and was yur height??

  • lmao :26 ... mad small..

  • How tall are you mate?

  • Comment removed

  • i like the sleep & rest bit to gain weight :p

  • You want to gain weight? Its not so much about calorie intake, as protein intake, and just not allowing yourself to get hungry. Protein intake should equate to roughly twice your body weight in lbs converted to grams. Example, 150lbs should eat 300 grams + of protein daily. Eat meals every two hours to prevent metabolism from using nutrients for energy rather then building muscle. Meals should consist of complex carbs, and lean proteins in the AM, and simpler carbs and protein throughout the day

  • My body has gone from 167lbs @ 6'4" to 196lbs at under 9% body fat, with a bench press starting at 185 which is now 250lbs. You want to gain muscle, this is how you do it. You have to force the body to grow, or it just wont. With workouts, I tend to like to split them into push oriented workout days, and pull oriented workout days on mon, wed, and fri, with the weekend off. I spend 2-3 hours in the gym every time I'm in there. Best plan is to start with compound exorcises, then start to isolate

  • Also, to caveat: If your trying to gain muscle on your chest then bench press is not the ideal way to go. I know this guy in the vid mentioned it, and it should be in your routine, however it should not be your money maker for gains in the chest as there are much better ways to train that muscle group, IE dumbell press, cables ect...

  • I'm 16, 6'2 and weigh about 148lbs. I eat all the right stuff I just need to start going to the gym and drinking protein shake, What protein shake would you recommend?

  • How long did it take you gain that 30 lbs. And is it okay to workout Mon. chest Tues. arms Wends. shoulders Thurs. back Friday legs

  • @paintballKid545 There's no way to really answer your question because no one here knows your level of fitness. Working out one body part per day is good for advanced bodybuilders but that's because they are strong enough to do this. 

  • @Killer390 Okay well im young and healthy and i have been working out like this for a long time now but i just wanted to know if i had been doing it wrong for all this time. And i am in the advanced level. But how long did it take You to gain that 30lbs.

  • 4 how long will your work outs b when u just started working out

  • did i just hear that you dont look big right now? look at yourself in the mirror again

  • @goldenblade212 Not everyone wants to be huge and have big breast like pecs.

  • bench press is well over rated.

  • i used to be 142 like 1 month ago started working out and now im at 160

    surprised my self i have never gain so much weight in so little time

    i never changed my diet and i wasent taking any supplements nether

  • this how i gain more mass: I hang some weight around my balls!

  • at 1:18 he says " take your'e body*** fat** and multiple it by 20-24 .. what he meant is take your'e body WEIGHT and multiple it ... 

  • @HannaRamez great video tho :) 

  • I'm guessing by looking at you that your body fat is higher than 9-10% dude...come on, be real!

  • @musclemonsters can 12yr olds take maximuscle protein shakes. also how do i get heavy if i am twelve

  • skinny guy givin some advice to skinny guys. wow!

  • Yo can any1 that really knows answer me this question I'm 16 yrs old 5'8 and I weight 140 I look skinny or that's the way I feel can any of u tell me the proper weight forme

  • Hey man, awesome video. How long did it take for you to go from 115 LBS to 160 LBS? I'm at around 115LBS at the moment, not sure what my body fat is. I'm also 27 years old so I'm not on any growth spurt either. I just recently started lifting and improving my diet, and I want to know how long it'll take to see some good results. Thanks!

  • im 16 years old 6'3 in height and weigh 180 pounds.....should i have to worry about gaining anymore weight? how often should i drink supplement? and should i run on my off days? someone plz help!!

  • I am 18 years old, 5'11 and have been working out for about 2 months now eating around 3000 calories a day, about 160 grams of protein a day. I feel like I should have more muscle than I do now. Are my muscle gains covered by fat which is why I don't think I look more muscular or is it just fat I'm putting on?

  • @bpriester1 your putting on some water weight which helps build muscle just keep it up, throw in some sets around 16-20 if u want more definition

  • @bpriester1 well calories are fine are you working out enough, are you varying your workouts or just doing bench press everyday, are you increasing the weight dont be afraid to do so, third and for most thats A LOT of protein and you most likely go to the bathroom a lot, because your pooping at least 90 grams of that protein out you dont need that much , and it can be bad for your kidneys to process that much protein. Good luck my fellow skinny guy! i hope to see gains just like you!

  • I have a very similar build I think, I weighed 115 aswell and am now up to 125 now and im still making gains. Great informative video.

  • @Haseeebo um. No. I'm not a Fag. And madden11 is not my other account. I only have one. I just happened to have the sane problem as him

  • good advice exactly what im doing thanks a lot

  • HELP!! I'm 14 and I only weigh like 106!! I've tried EVERYTHING! ( I'm on the football team. I need to bulk up!!)

  • @SirStupidy247 Multiple accounts really? what a fag..

  • HELP I'm 14 and weigh 106 I all ready did a 20 minute workout routin for a month and didn't see a change HEL

  • @madden11anything

    you wanna work out for more than a hour a day and have proper nutrition for results.

  • @madden11anything LOL! a month? are you on crack...try working out for over an hour a day. I'm talking 5-6 SETS, with like 6-8 reps. Multiple excercises, and little rest between excercises (60secs max).

  • man i realy like ur video, but i eat alot and still 68 killos, i sleep 6 hours, and work like normal, but its killing me man, maybe cuz i smoke and drink alot alot alot of energy drink sugar, plzzzzz help

  • Body fat times 20-24? that only gets me 480 calories a day if I turn the percentage into a whole number

  • @mkabukha1 Sorry for that. I meant to say body weight multiplied by 20-24 lol. My mistake.

  • @musclemonsters thats too much i weight 173 and i am bulking at 3000 calories on workout days and 2900 on off days and i am still gaining fat

  • @Newbpwng you're not working out enough or you're not skinny. He said this was for skinny fast motabolism dudes. Take in less calories and work harder.

  • @musclemonsters You did say body weight the first time. This dude just felt like calling you out. No point for that.

  • @musclemonsters i wanna get real big with my biceps and develop abs ? do i have to drink water or could i keep drinking coke?

  • @musclemonsters I workout everyday, pushups, some weights, but I don't get sore the next day. I do about 50 pushups and 3 reps of 10 on weights and no soreness. Should I still workout every other day? What should I change?

  • @mkabukha1 he does say body weight if you were listening 

  • @mkabukha1

    Intentionally trying to be a smartass. He obviosuly made that mistake and SEVERAL times said 'Body weight'.

    I hate when people do shit like this.

  • @AltamonTKidd gallon of milk a day and the heavy compounds...squats, deadlifts, dips, pull ups, bench press, military presses..etc. Youll gain a little fat but its easy to get it off

  • Its seriously impossible for me to get big!

    Been at it for 9 months and ive gotten little results...hate being a fuckn ecto!

    Ive tried eating 3000 calories a day for about a week...but i quit on that because it was just stressful trying to consume that many calories. And besides that week i didnt gain shit!!!

  • broken link in description :(

  • @mynameismobydick whoops! I went ahead and fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.

  • @musclemonsters thanks. so youve never taken any whey protein or mass gainers?

  • @mynameismobydick I take whey protein immediately following my workouts. This is great for fast absorbtion. Mass gainers, not a fan. I keep them handy in case I have emergencies and absolutely cannot get a nutrient dense meal.

  • So how do you go from Fat to Muscle in weeks? BTW this is a serious question

  • im 13 and.i weigh 115lbs.. is that good?

  • @TheSOGDog if you eat well, are already fit and can't seem to get bigger.. just increase the weight of your dumbells

  • alright thanks i hopw this works

  • @TheSOGDog push ups, and pull ups.  While doing pull ups, try and hold at the top for as long as possible until you drop. I used to be 6'2, 155 lbs. Now I am 6'4 224 lbs. I eat a lot as well. I do about 100 push ups and 30-50 pull ups a day. I have been doing this for 2 year's now. I hope this helps.

  • whats some food that has a lot of calories

    

  • waz tht advise to me

    ?

  • your video is awesome! thanks.

  • im 13 and i weight 81 pauns im like 5"1 how do i gang weight

  • @MrAlan9000 You can't be 36 KG unless you mispelt it for something else

  • @MrAlan9000 eat a shit load and do push ups and pull ups for starters. Eat meals with tuna, beef, and potatoes. Drink lots of milk, water, and juice. This will get you started. Half these fucks on youtube do not know or tell you shit. Stay away from supplements , most of them are garbage. good luck.

  • @TheSOGDog Some advice, find your caloric intake than eat 500 calories more, eat about 0.8-1 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. last thing is, rest. make sure you get about 8 hours of sleep a night or more, and also make sure you rest about 3 days before you hit that same muscle group again so the muscle has time to recover.

  • @TheSOGDog SAME HERE GIVE ME ADVICE DUDE WE HAVE THE SAME AGE HEIGHT AND WEIGHT WOAH.

  • @TheSOGDog i would recommend the following supplements: ON serious mass, ON whey, creatine mono-hydrate. doing what you're doing now will get you moderate results in 5 years! but if you start using these supplements then you will get better results in as little as two years. can you give me your stats? like how much you can life for each workout? i think i can help you out.

  • weight in lbs or in kg? im guessing its lbs

  • You explain things very well. I'd like to be about your size. Thanks for sharing.

  • Good video all that is true I just can't do the diet part and sleep part right if I can get those straighten out I will get where I wanna get

  • hey m 21 and weight is just 50, wat shud i be doing, I waana gain weight. I look like 16, plz help me

  • @SuperBumblebeecamaro Dude the reason why you don't put on weight is becouse you still grow !!!! You're a teenager a lot of teenagers donesn't seems to put on weight thats normal ! Don't be sad ! :)

  • Thank you for the tips. Congrats on gaining.

  • @TheSOGDog holy shit ur just like me! o__O

  • is it 20 times your weight in kilos or pounds ?

  • @Bananayoghurt1000 i pounds cause for a guy around 55 kg he should eat only 1.100 kalories.In pounds its around 110 x 20 =2200 kalories daily.So it makes sence

  • great tips and they work

  • Help me I needa gain more weight!

  • m 16 nd 50 kg weight i play football soccer. bt my arms lgs nd face is thin..wt should i do ?? plzzz tel me

  • @hussain10soc eat lots n lots of protein n workout

  • @mandunya thnx..protein ok. can i use protein powder i mean egg protien. . nd pls tell me sme protien foods plzzz...n 1 thng more i hv sme acne so which protein foods i hv to use

  • @hussain10soc i have acne also and you can eat, eggs , veggies, fruits lots of fruits drink those shakes and milk lots n lots n lots n lots n lots of milk n water

  • If your 15 the gains you achieve through your workouts and nutrition will occur regardless of how much or how little you eat and workout. Your body is still growing and maturing until your about 19 and older when your at the age to actually maximize your gains.

  • @TheSOGDog Try doing as many push-up as you can everyday.

  • @SinaloenseGuero hey how do u make 2,000 calorie milkshake?

  • @TheSOGDog stop running and doin ur tae kwon do.. ur just burning extra calories u need a surpluss

  • hey i am 14 and I way 110 to 120 and im from 5'5 to 6'0 I have a slight gut is it possible i can at least build muscularity within at least a month

  • @kinstar can you email me so I can discuss a little more based on my fast morabalism - fernandoterrero@yahoo.com

  • @myRisque im like that aswell you need to eat more and keep it consistant

  • @TheSOGDog do more reps untill your arms cant do one more, try and do heavier weights even if its just 2 or 3kg or pounds more you need to work your muscle to make them grow and make sure you eat within like 40min after you work out otherwise your body will start breaking down your muscle for energy

  • im 15 and im 135-140 pounds is that skinny or average weight? anyone

  • @R3dTigerM40A3 how tall are you and whats your waist size?
