yea thats what im working on doing now. it just sucks being a damn ectomorph but i know thats no excuse it just means i have to work even harder. but i have a pretty solid diet and a good workout routine so the mass should start coming soon.

Don't worry about body type so much, post your log and routine, and get brolic.

Looks like a good base to start a good career on.

You are only 18. 170lbs should not be a problem for you. Stick with the compound exercises and focus on lifting heavier. Forget about the pec dec or lateral raises.

Lifting heavier doesn't mean bigger muscles. If you want to gain weight then the first thing you have to address is your diet, are you eating good clean foods? Are you eating enough meals per day? Are you taking Supps? As far as the training goes though, dont get sucked into thinking that because you are in a gym with other guys that you cant use the light weights because you'll look like a wuss. Idealy you want to perform an exercise with perfect form, so if that means you're curling 20lbs then so be it. You dont have to train heavy to be big, just train smart.

yea i have a pretty solid diet i eat about 5-6 meals a day and i consume between 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound. i always take a good multivitamin and whey protein. but i ran out of protein yesterday so instead of just getting another whey protein i got a real good gainer so hopefully it will help me put on a few pounds. and i also take flax oil, and a few weeks ago i started taking micronized creatine monohydrate and i know a lot of people dont like glutamine supplements but my last protein didnt really have a significant amount in it so i bought a glutamine product that has 5 grams per serving of L-glutamine and glutamine peptides and i have really came to like to combination creatine and glutamine. and in the gym i just listen to my ipod and get in the zone i dont even pay attention to anyone else, i know it doesnt matter if your benching 300lbs if your form is **** its pointless. so i try to use as much weight as possible without affecting my form... thanks Dustin

Sounds like you have everything in order and you're right at the point where you are gonna start filling out, so keep taking pics and keep us updated.

[BBenthusiast]

nice stuff, keep up the good work. EAAAAAAAAAT

Looking good man, what gainer did you get? It sounds like you know what you gotta do, but remember, the gainer is really just to push you into caloric excess so dont base your diet off of it.
