Getting lean (hard gainer)

[Wahmed08]

Hi

I am wanting to get lean or get muscluar but it is hard for me to gain muscle and weight. I am 17, about 125 pounds and 6,0 in height, I am very skinny. Is there any program and workout I can do and also a diet to follow to gain weight and muscle or you can suggest . I have only got a barbell and a dumbell, and a exercise bike can't go to the gym for reasons.

You're just afraid of food. And why can't you go to a gym?

NO, you aren't. You don't eat enough. Before you come back and say, "but I eat x calories per day"

I can tell you that it isn't enough or you'd be gaining.

There are plenty of beginner full body routines that can be done with just a barbell. Craigslist has cheap weights if you run out.


1. Progressive overload
2. Caloric surplus
3. Time

This is all you need.

Gym is far away from area and expensive

Do you want someone to wipe your ass while we're at it?

Read the stickies. Get some base knowledge and start trying. If you have a specific question ask.

Ok sorry if I have made you angry, I am new to bodybuilding, I don't understand progressive overload

Stickies ...read em for routine and diet.

As to no gym go on Craigs list and get some basic stuff cheap : bench , squat rack, adjustable dumbells, few hundred pound of free weights.
