If you're a skinny shit having trouble putting on weight, I'm here to answer your questions, I've gone from 150-180, and I'm going to keep going to 240.

Still pretty lean (abs showing, serratus have all but dissapeared though)

Picture kinda related: Frank Zane owns:P

It helps alot if you post your current diet, workout schedule and goals. I should be able to help tweak it:)

Fix your fucking diet and workout?
Jokes aside, for tall guys (6'1" here)
Eat more carbs, eat a more varied source of fat.
Best exercise routine I find for us lanky fucks is basically 3 days a week, working 1 pulling exercise 1 pushing exercise 1 lower body exercise. I like to do 5x5 on some exercises, 4x8 on others and in some cases, 3x12, it depends on exercise.

tl;dr
eat more, eat varied foods, lots more carbs
do 1 pull 1 push and 1 lower body exercise for a minimum of 25 reps, maximum of 50 between a minimum of 3 sets and maximum of 5.
do these workouts 3 times a week.
eat more.

I had my doubts about you, but I still plowed on, only to walk straight under the bridge into a troll.

Frank Zane looked like awesome when he had a beard. Also OP, you are my hero. What you've done is exactly what I'm aiming for, though I'm going to assume I'm shorter given your target weight.

5'9" here, and I think 180 through 190 would be my ideal weight. I'm eating like a motherfucker, squatting, deadlifting and benching like a crazy son of a bitch and progress is still frustratingly gradual. If it'll help you give me advice I can talk you through my routine and diet, but maybe you have some general advice to give me?

About 147lbs right now, by the way, and most certainly a skinny shit.

general advice though,before specifics:
Make sure you're always progressing
Make sure every month, your average calorie intake is higher than last months.
Get enough godamned sleep
As good as 5x5 is to start with, progressing to 8 reps for 5 sets will show bigger improvements in size than 5x5, without quite the same strength gains. Even better, 2 sets of 3x8 to even out workloads, 5x5 is good for beginners, but it inevitabley leaves somethings underworked compared to others (but it's still the best way to build a strong base, which you then pcik the flaws in, fix, repeat)

Skinny shit, here. 5'11, 140 pounds.

However, I pledged to myself that I would reach my big, ripped, muscular goal on my own without relying on someone to give me their secrets. Mainly, I was bullied all through school, and have had ex-girlfriends leave me for much stronger, sportier guys.

I'm proud of you and your progress, but I've decided that it's something I've got to prove to myself and others that I can do, because I've always been told it would be near impossible for me.

I'm plowing through a lot of media (books, magazines, etc etc) eating way more, and toying with different supplements and lifts over time.

Wish me luck.

Routine goes like so:-
All exercises roughly follow three sets, decreasing reps (12, 8, 4), increasing weight. Exceptions are deadlifts, squats and clean and jerks, where I may go up to five sets of increasing weight doing one to five reps.

Monday
Warmup with pullups.
- deadlift
- rowing machine
- shrugs

Wednesday
Warm up with pushups.
- bench press
- incline bench press (dumbells every other week)
- decline press machine (often skip this, dislike the machine)
- dumbell flyes

Thursday
- clean and press
- seated shoulder press
- dumbell lateral raises
- dumbell front raises

Friday
Every other week I go out running.

Sunday
- squats
- leg press
- leg extensions
- calf raises

Diet is difficult to manage. I'm cooked for at home and out at work. Generally my day to day goes like so:-

8:00am - Oatmeal/bran with juice and/or coffee
11:30am - Scrambled eggs with single slice of toast
1:00pm - Fish/chicken with potatoes/rice and peas
3:00pm - Snack, usually fruit
5:00pm - Fish/chicken/beef with potatoes and salad
6:00pm - Spinach and milkshake with whey powder
7:00pm - Occasionally I'll eat a portion of vegetables

Well OP, I'm 19, 5'5 and weigh 140 lbs. with some kinda soft (ie fat) legs. My diet consists:
Breakfast- Scrambled eggs w/ glass of milk
Lunch- Chicken, uh, nuggets?
Snack- Meal replacement bar with 22 g of protein and 37 g carbs.
Dinner- Usually some kind of beef with beans and rice
Bedtime- PB&J Banana and glass of milk.
Thats what I was doin sometime ago but not only was i not working out, but it wasn't like i was gaining any weight either. I'm guessing more carbs? And fruits and veggies? As for my workout schedule, I was thinking of doing a three day split routine (though i am unsure of which body parts to do in what day). My goal essentially is to gain 15 to 20 pounds of lean muscle. I don't mind a little fat covering my abs but i want women to be able to feel the bumpage dammit!
