can't seem to gain weight

[600clips]

i eat big to get big, i've been taking creatine for a few weeks now and have noticed my lifting stats going up. i also have a pretty good workout set up, the only thing i can't do is squats because i workout at home, so i try to substitute it by doing leg extensions and leg curls. any advice would be appreciated it.

Workout A-chest
Incline BB bench-4x4 of 220
Flat DB bench-3x8 of 72.5(biggest DB's i can make with my plates)
-(superset these two workouts)
Bodyweight Chest Dips-3x12
Row machine for three mins

Workout B-legs and arms
Leg Extensions-3x8 of 200
Leg Curls-3x10 of 150(i go light on this because of old Cross Country injury)
Forearm Grips 3x(15-15-15)
Hammer Curls-3x8 of 50's
DB Curls-3x5 of 55's

Workout C-cardio and some back
Row Machine for 5mins
15mins of light running
Row machine for 5mins

the workouts may seem weird but i have been increasing my stats over the past few months, i just can't gain weight, im currently at 150lbs and would like to get up to about 175lbs

Then lift for hypertrophy and not for strength. 8-12 reps for your exercises will ensure this.

How much are you eating. You can gain strength but not weight if you eat like a kid in a Romanian orphanage.

[Steven08]

You need more back man and some shoulders in your workout. Don't know what you can do to gain except eat more. I'm in the same boat as you right now.

Working out at home shouldn't stop you doing squats, Just get a heavy duty squat rack or power cage if you have more room.

*sigh*

If the scale isn't moving, and you want it to, it's your diet. If it is moving and you don't like how you look, it's your lifting.

You need to eat more.

You might need to up the calories. Do it in 200-300 calorie increments and see if you start gaining weight.

You don't need to change your reps... changing from 8 reps to 12 reps won't add 25 pounds to your body. Drink more protein shakes and eat more meat/other high protein food. If you aren't gaining weight there is only one thing that is stopping you; you are not eating enough.

Sleep.
How much sleep do you get. you need at least 7-9 hours to grow at night too.

thanks for the replies, usually for my diet i try to get alot of protein in from chicken or beef or eggs, i stay away from anything fried. i usually eat four or five meals a day as it is now, might have to throw in another meal or just eat more during those meals. for my sleep i usually get a good 8 to 9 hours of sleep.

i guess i'll try uping my calorie intake more and see how that goes

[Juggernaut33]

Yeah, I'd say eat even more that what you've said you've been eating. When I bulked up to 220 lbs., I was eating even if I wasn't hungry. I'd just force it down so I could get bigger and it worked.

I have light squat days where I only squat what I can clean and press and get onto my shoulders...

at 150 lbs, fried food won't hurt you (don't over do it) you don't need to eat super clean if you're trying to add 25 lbs of muscle. You need to eat A LOT! Have an extra pizza every day PWO.

W T F does that have to do with anything? Did you even read the thread title? The first post? Any replies?
