Seeiking advice, newbie starting out!!

[S1X]

Hey guys,

I'm seeking advice on to gain muscle or "get big" (which I don't think i physically possible for someone in my position). Basically I'm 6" and 126lbs (yeah, I know wtf!!) and I want to gain some muscle, I'm sick of being this skinny. I'd like to know what's the best option(s) for someone like myself just starting out. Should I get a gym pass or can I make something happen by just working out at home? I don't have any workout equipment at the moment so any suggestions would be appreciated. Not having much of an appetite is probably one of that factors for why I'm so skinny, but I do believe I have a fast metabolism. My doctor says I'll eventually "even out", but who knows when that will happen.. Also, is there an supplements I should take?

im not gonna lie to ya, its going to take a long time, your going to have to learn to force yourself to eat and your going to eat horrible tasting things. exercise wise in the beginning anything helps, but i would suggest you look up a routine, i would suggest using a rep range between 6-8 reps, and make sure you lift weight heavy enough that you reach failure within that rep range, dont do cardio, for your situation cardio would only hurt your gains

and supps, aside from protein and a good multi-vitamin, the only thing you need to buy is lots and lots of food. i learned that the hard way

Do you have any routine suggestions? I actually bought some xyience CG3 a while back, haven't used it yet. Is muscle milk good?

search a 5x5 routine on bodybuilding.com or try DC training (but that might be a little too advanced) how many days a week do you plan on working out?

SS is perfect for beginners. DC on the other hand is for very advanced lifters
