Help! I'm small

kumaran_raj Posts: 99 Joined: 2003/11/07	2005/08/22, 01:14 PM Hi, I need help. I'm 179cm and 50kg and 22. I'm much underweight and look aneroxic. I eat 4 times a day, watch what enters my mouth and when I do try to gain weight, they seem to come as fat around my waist. By the way, my fat places are my stomach and thighs, everywhere else is bony. And I'm a guy. I've tried 12 week programmes, cardio and much more with minimal results. Taking creatine and protein powders only gave temporary weight gains. Any advice? I work out 4 times a week, free weights as I don't have access to machines and do cardio, jogging, twice a week. Help! Thank you.

In fact, it may be detrimental to any hypertrophy you may be working towards. Drop the cardio. What are your workouts like? Post, and we will critique. What kind of exercises are you doing, sets, reps, split???? -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk.
