Hi,

I am a 19 year old male hailing from India. I am 5' 11" and weigh 50 kgs (110 lbs). I am quite thin for my age and height and want ot gain some bulk.

Many people have told me that bodybuilding is a good solution. Is this a good idea, if yes then please help me with a 3-day training shedule and the right nutritional meal plan. How many days warm-up should I do?

I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Eric,
Goa, India.

you will find all of this information on this site or by searching using the search button at the top. Also in each forum section there are sticky topics (at the very top of the topics) that have useful information.

When you first begin (1-3 months) you should see some drastic changes if your diet is decent and you are consuming more calories than you burn while lifting weights at least 3 days per week.

Sample Workout Routine:

Day 1: Chest/Triceps/Shoulders/Traps

Day 3: Back/Biceps/Forearms

Day 5: Legs/Calves/Abs

8-12 reps is what you should aim for right now and later if you find lower reps work for you then you can switch it around to 6-8, but most find 8-12 rep range the best for gaining muscle growth and size.

I personally think that newbie should start off with a simple 3 day plan of:
MWF
Nothing but Squats, Deads, Bench, Pullups
I like this:
WO#1-Bench & Squat
WO#2-Deadlift & Pullups
3-4 sets of each with about 8-12 reps
Start with a weight u can comfortably get 12 reps for.
This sort of routine builds a foundation for the future torture I have planned for you, LOL

He needs to go through Anatomical Adaptation first. Don't use big weights yet. Then you have to go through the Mixed stage for overall built in all muscle areas and define the "core" assets of the body (abs and lower back), then you have to go through Hypertrohpy, you can't skip to MxS training for bulk. This stuff takes over a course of a year or more.

And don't forget to eat right!

If you are 5'11" and 110lbs you're probably an ectomorph - and ectomorphs find it hard to gain muscle.

Eat about 1 gram of protein per lb of weight (so 110 grams a day minimum) and seeing as you 110lbs thats probably about 2200 calories to bulk.

So make sure you get 2200 calories, from which you get 110g of protein

i started at the beginning this year this year. But i was the opposite case as i was getting to large. I was 90-91kg and dropped to 78kg which i am now. i am more lean and more happy with my lifestyle. When u start getting some mass and doin the right workouts u will see improvements. Just don't expect immediate results. Wait about 2-4 weeks to see some results.
Oh and any of the above posts on the workouts are perfect for beginners. goodluck
