god, i wish i had that problem
lol
wrong forum my friend. You gotta do some research.
Eat, Eat, and Eat 6-8 high protein meals a day, train hard, dont overtrain either cause that could be also a reason, and give your body a chance bro. It takes time. I was like that before, I wouldnt gain weight and I would try all these supplements and nothing worked till I did my research.:D
jrod,
I gained 12lbs over winter without gear... I ate about 6-8 times a day. I tried in the past to gain and never could (I'm ecto) until I understood how much you have to eat.
You have to eat every few hours. You won't really be hungry, you have to just set up a schedule and shop for the weeks ahead.
My food bills where outragous. I would snack on 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at a time. 2-3 protein shakes a day.
Now I'm paying the price getting back into bike racing... Those pounds make a big difference and I feel like a slug uphills...
I just moved this to the nutrition and dieting forum.

This is your answer, there are no other ones.
Good Luck
eat till ya wanna puke then eat some more!!! dont stop. im actualy jealous of you. whether i eat cleanor not itseems like half of it goes to my waste and only 24. bad genetics for me.
Here are the eat to get big rules for serious ectomorphs out there.
1. Eat every two hours. This is a must. Your body must never be without food...if it is then you start feeding on yourself for energy.
2. Drink a protein shake between every meal. This will boost your protein and your calories in the BEST way possible.
3. Eat calorie dense foods. If you want minerals eat a vitamin...dont load up on salad and that crap. Eat meat and carbs only.
4. Forget about all of your physical activities besides training. You don't want to burn up valuable calories.
