too skinny HELP

I am 5ft 10 and currently weigh 8 stone 3 and don't havve  a cle how to bulk up because I don't have a clue about diet exercise weights etc.. HELP PLEASE

Simply put:

Get into a gym.

Start squatting, deadlifting, bench pressing, overhead pressing, and do chin ups, rows, dips, etc as well. The first four are the core exercises though.

Research routines, keep them simple and based around the exercises I mentioned above. No need to be doing weights any more than 3 or 4 times a week.

Eat lots of protein. Eat 5-6 meals a day, say every 3 hours or so. Each meal should consist of a lean protein source (chicken breast, turkey breast, portion of lean beef mince, 4-5 eggs, tin of tuna, salmon fillet, etc.), a carb source (pasta, rice, potato/sweet potato, oats, etc.), and loads of veg. And milk is good, drink lots of milk.

Read the beginner articles found on this site. Do your research, work hard in the gym and eat big, and there's no reason you can't pack on muscle.

Good luck

Basically - eat big, lift big, sleep big!

As said fella read some articles then read some more, they was a great help to me when I was starting out     

Hey Sam, here's a simple 4 day a week routine like we spoke about:\
for each exercise use the same weight throughout all three sets.

Workout one (Monday)
Back
Warmup with some very light deadlifts

Deadlifts: 3 sets of 8 reps

Chin ups: 3 sets of 8 reps

encyclopedia/lats/chin-up/
If at first you can't do eight reps aim to do a total number in your session depending on your ability - maybe week 1 you do (4 reps 3 reps 4 reps =10) in week 2 aim for  a total 11.
Once you can do all your 3 sets of 8 these start to add weight.

Barbell rows: 3 sets of 8 reps

note - if the bar hurts the bone on your neck then it's too high you'll need to move the bar below this bone.

Like we discussed, if you manage to complete all  your sets for a given exercise then increase the weight slightly on your next workout. 
Take the advice of the posts above mine diet, sleep and exercise are all key elements in developing muscle. 

Some great advice posted there!

Agree, go with Rob.S routine - he didn't miss anything out!!

One word of warning, dont just eat everything in sight or you will find you will be putting on more fat than lean muscle. Of course some fat is going to be added during the bulk but you dont want to much :)

hello mate
tottally understand about the gym situation here, went through the same thing mate when i started out, didt want to go because of bein intimidated and all that, so i went and bought myself standard weights for at home and started there, but after a copule of weeks they just dnt cut it, forget about everyone else in the gym and just go, there there for there thing ur there for urs simple as, u wnt regret it and u will find it as good inspiration watchin other ppl lift

yeah i reckon re the gym issues:  i used to be intimidated as well.

now i realise everyone is just focussed on their thing.  only time people generalyl watch is if you're doing awful technique and at my gym i've found people come tell you.  hope you have the experience.

get in the gym and keep to the real big basic moves like bench press, squats etc and get some USN Hyperbolic Mass in your diet.  You obviously have a high metabolism like myself but I was skinny once and have now filled out no problem. I tried a few weight gainers (even the expensive ones) and they did just that(they are high in diluting sugars) so I have found one that just adds muscle and just as important tastes great. Its also very good for the money from www.discountsupplementsdirect.co.uk
Get some in your diet and grow
