Anytime I workout I just seem to get stronger with unnoticable physical differences. Im actually alot stronger than my bodyweight would give me credit for. However, do you think using creatine would be helpful? - Im obviously going to use protein supplements but never used creatine before.... http://musculardevelopment.com/ Check out the forum to this site. A lot of good info. Also, you'll need to be sure that you do 3 things; 1. Eat enough calories. It sounds basic, but if you don't eat more than you burn, you won't gain weight. 2. Get plenty of rest. Without enough rest (which includes enough sleep nightly, as well as enough time to recuperate between workouts), you'll never get the gains you're after. 3. Do the right type of training. If you're goal is to put on weight, you'll need to lift heavy, with a focus on compound exercises. That said, you don't want to go so heavy that you're only working in the 1-5 rep range. That's great for making you stronger, but it isn't necessarily optimal for size gains. This is a genaralization, of course. It will take a little time to find the rep ranges that work best for you. Good luck, man. Bigwill View Public Profile Send a private message to Bigwill Find all posts by Bigwill
