I am 6ft 6in and abnormally skinny at 175 lbs. I plan on gaining at least enough weight to make me normal weight. Here are my questions and concerns:

1. I want a routine that provides the best way for quick results.

2. Areas that I want to emphasize building are neck, shoulders, upper back, and arms (I have skinny wrists).

3. The weight gain doesn't have to be toned; there can be fat in there, which ever way is faster.

4. Will a quick results routine provide permanent results?

5. I want a gym membership. What should I look for in a gym to accomplish these goals?

6. What about amino acids and craetine?

7. I plan on taking 175-325 grams of protein a day.

This is some info I give out to folks that are looking for direction and want to gain muscle mass. Many pages of good info here, try to read it all; you may find some of it to be helpful. If you can, order Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe, these links are not a substitute but rather an addition to the great book. The book has a lot of great detailed info on solid training techniques and has helped many people reach their goals. Until then, here are some links.

Hope that helps,

Here are two points that may not be covered (in an obvious way to a new comer) in the links. My comments are added in red.

A little effort for a little bit of time will get you results for a little while; big effort for a long time will yield great results that last. Keep in mind bodingbuilding/Lifting/exersize is a life long thing if you want to enjoy the full benifits.

5. I want a gym membership. What should I look for in a gym to accomplish these goals? A squat rack or power cage, barbells, plenty of weight, and a sturdy bench for bench presses. Pullup bar and dip bar would also be good, but most things can be accomplished with a rack and bench. Oh and make sure to ask if people get nervous about deadlifts--if they don't let you deadlift, its not a "real" gym.

the links I gave should cover everything else.

What about adding girth to your legs? What about adding 50lbs to your squat, bench, deadlift? Doesn't that sound more interesting? If I were you, I woud go to the grocery store, buy a ****load of food, and try starting strength by Mark Rippetoe and add girth to your whole body just not your wrists.
