With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

You don't have to sacrifice speed and quickness to gain weight. Explosive, multi-joint lifts like squats, cleans, deadlifts, and snatch can actually improve quickness. Look at Olympic sprinters and skilled positions in football; those are the fastest, quickest guys in the world, and very very few could be called skinny.
