I want to gain weight; but not seeing the results

[ChiTown2Diego]

typed that up pretty quick but I forgot to add that your 4-6 meals a day should be 3.5 to 4 hours apart. Preferably 4 (exception being the pre and post workout meals). If you were cutting weight we would drop the time in between meals

Thanks for the advice; I'll try to focus on my daily meals and get back to you with the results asap!

Chairman=head of your boxing club?

At the age of 15 I don't think you should be lifting weights too often. You do sound like you're underweight for your height but you'll fit out over the next few years as you reach adulthood.

How often do you lift and what lifts/muscle groups do you work? How often do you do other exercises (boxing/martial arts/running etc)?

If your serious about gaining weight, you have to simply increase your caloric intake while taking in proper vitamins and minerals.


Now there is an old fashion way: Eat more.

Then there is a 21st century way: Increase caloric intake, this is clean foods, while taking a weight gainer supplement.




Buy that. About $25 at your local GNC store, at your local 24hr fitness/gold's gym, or online.

That is the 21st century way. Science has done wonders for us. We should use it. Depending on how you train, will determine whether you get HUGE or have modest weight gain. Training like a boxer will not result in becoming Ronnie Coleman. However, taking a weight gainer and training like a boxer will result in weight gain but the weight that you want to see.

It sucks being a teenager and not being able to gain weight, the best I can tell you is you need a higher calorie intake and to keep up the hard work in the gym. try a split routine and don't over train but its going to be tough to put on mass until you physical mature some maybe at 17 or 18.

Yeah, chairman, the head of my gym. he doesn't seem to have interest in muscle workouts. My gym basically have 3 trainers but they only work during nighttime, and i work from 4~6 in the evening so the chairman is in charge most of the time. The fact is, I workout at home in the morning (around 10~12), an hour or 90 minutes max. since my gym only has a pair of 5kg dumbells.

I do my gym workout 90~120 minutes in the evening and run in the night. I do this 6 times/week. For the muscle group I like to work out my upper body (chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, forearm) and do my lower body (thighs) the next day and it basically repeats. I add 2~3 rounds of nonstop ab work in my gym.

I'm beginning to eat alot. I calculated the percentage of muscle mass, and it resulted in 44%. but I was wondering, what is the "average" weight of my age and height?

So you are doing 2 hour and a half to 2 hr workouts 6 times a day plus running? if so there is why you can't gain weight, you are over training for sure for what your goal is.

I thought you wanted to gain weight according to your thread title, most of that type of work will keep you as trim and as lean as you can be.

i just want to gain weight, as in muscles or fat. does fat help you get muscles? but at my height I am underweight, and i think i could actually lessen my roadwork if I am overtraining; i could work on my agility and stamina anytime but getting muscles and gaining weight could take at least a year.
