A good weight for a grown man is one kilo for every centimeter over one meter. If you are 175 centimeters, and you are, a great weight for you without straining is 75 kilos.\nYou can do your own conversions as you must be American.\nMuscles depend on posture just as much as "working out".\nWalk tall, head up, straight back with your stomach pulled in. Once you get to feel where yor muscles are you can exercise even when your sitting down, walking whatever.\nDont worry too much about "the six pack" Get your brain in gear, everyone loves intelligence above a great body (even in your appearance dominated country).Good luck. Take a look at http://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com/ for some tips on things.

Obviously, you want to gain muscle. In order to do that, you must train them using heavy resistance. The rule of thumb is, in order to gain weight, you must eat more calories than you burn. I'm willing to wager that you're a tall skinny guy, correct? So your metabolism is probably very fast and you have a hard time gaining weight. I recommend doing barbell curls and/or close-grip chin-ups (palms facing your face). Your goal is to do 3 sets of each exercise, with a weight you can handle for no more than 10 repetitions. If you can do more than 10 repetitions, add more weight. Using barbells or dumbells may be easier for you to use, in the beginning, opposed to body weight exercises like the chin-up. However, you should still try to implement the chin-up. It develops good biceps strength and size as well as good upper back stength and size. The most efficient way to gain weight, is to incorporate the squat, deadlift, and bench press. These are movements refered to as, compound movements. The reason is, they stimulate multiple muscle groups when you perform them. The more muscle you stimulate, the more growth potential you have. So eat a lot of good quality food like: rice, potatoes, green vegetables, fruit, eggs, lean meat, and nuts. Learn to read food labels to know how much energy/calories are in the foods you eat. Start eating about 3000 calories a day for the first week. If you're gaining weight, keep the calories the same until you stop. If you're not gaining weight, add 500 more calories. It's reasonable to add 1-2 lbs/.5kg-1kg per week, of body weight. Good luck!

Gain Weight Step 1 - eating!\n\nEating is the first and most important factor that is needed to gain weight. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat. I suggest 6 meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day. The goal is to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours.\n\nFocus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts.\n\nGain Weight Step 2 - lifting!\n\nAs stated, proper eating is of utmost importance when attempting to gain weight, but if you do not lift weights, the majority of that gained weight will be fat - not muscle.\n\nWhen trying to gain weight, I suggest working out three times a week. You need to lift hard and then recover for the next workout. Focus on the big exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, chin-ups, bench press, & military press. These are the exercises that will turn those extra calories into muscle. You are not going to gain much by doing lateral raises and step-ups every workout. You need the multiple-joint lifts that will shock your system and stimulate your body into growth. Focus on getting strong by adding a small amount of weight each workout. If you focus on strength, size will follow. Case in point, look around at your local gym - the strongest guys are also the biggest.\n\nGain Weight Step 3 - supplements!\n\nTo gain weight, you do not NEED supplements, but they will help you gain the weight quicker. That's what they are, supplements to an already good diet and training program. Think of supplements as the finishing touch.\n\nI like to keep things simple and, therefore, I suggest only two types supplements for those wishing to gain weight. The first is a weight gain shake. The shakes I recommend are ProLab's N Large 2. It's the best value out there. The way N' Large 2  will help is by giving you a large quantity of calories in one small serving. It will provide you with 620 calories in one easy shake and is especially great for people who do not have time for breakfast, or snacks while on the go. Just mix a serving with water or fruit juice and gulp it down in a just a couple of minutes. Get yourself a Shaker Bottle to make it even easier.\n\n\n\n\n(I got these answers from the website below...check it out, it has some great advice)

If you weigh 74 pounds and people are complaining that you look too fat, you must be like 36 inches tall.  People who have a genetic pre-disposition to dwarfism can also have a problem where their body still tries to weigh as much as a taller person.  I'm astounded that in 23 years you've never researched your condition or consulted a doctor.\n\nOr did you mean 74 kilos?  That could be an okay weight if you are quite tall and muscular.  Once you're an adult your age has nothing to do with a healthy weight.  It's all based on your height.

The best way to increase your weight is to always exceed your daily energy requirements. Find out exactly how many calories you burn on a daily basis through an assessment of your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)& AMR (Active Metabolic Rate). Once you have these numbers, it's simple math. Ensure you are above or consuming more calories than your body burns on a daily basis and you should increase your mass with the appropriate weight training regimen. \n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1) always eat a heavy complex carb meal (pasta/rice)at least 1-2 hours before going to sleep.\n2) try weight gainer shakes at your local health food store.\n3) STAY AWAY FROM CARDIO (this really should be a short-term ideally since refraining from cardiovascular exercise can jepordize long-term health). For your purposes in the short-term, cardio will only hamper efforts to gain weight. If you don't have to run then walk, if you don't have to walk then stand, if you don't have to stand then sit, if you don't have to sit then lie down.\n4) weight training (if you are at least intermediate level) should not exceed 8 reps, especially on large muscle groups. Please seek the advice of a professional trainer before proceeding with heavy weights if you are not at least an intermediate level weight trainer. \n5) concentrate on multi joint and power movements such as squats and deadlifts for the largest spike in growth hormone during your workouts (again proceed only under supervision)\n6) never workout more than 90 minutes\n7) track your progress - it's the only way you'll find out what works for you\n8) sleep sleep and more sleep - minimum 9-10 hours to maximize growth.\n9) Drink plenty of water\n10) Creatine - probably one of the best ways to gain weight (if used properly) in the short-term.\n\nHere's a list of weight training exercises to help you:\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises.html

from your description you appear stout but you will certainly be able to add more height to your 165cm over the next 3-5 years. whether you can add another 20cm will depends on your hormones, diet and lifestyle. eating well with high protein food and playing games (especially those that allow you to stretch, like swimming, basketball) should help you grow to your dream height. but, andrew, even if you do not, it is not the end of your happiness. lots of guys shorter than you are very happy. it is who you are, your personality and love for life that attract you to others and others to you. enjoy life. you have many good years ahead.

i used to have your problem. 2 years ago i was extreemely underweight but i have since gained 40lbs (mostly muscle since my body fat percentage has remained the same). There is no such thing as being unable to gain weight. You just simply arent eating enough. if you are the same as me, then you would need to be eating 5-6 high protein full meals a day accomipanied by 3x a week weight lifting. click on my name and look at my replies in other threads if you want to know more.

Alright Mr. Rickster, you just wait till im on level 2 then I'm going to rate you! lol. anyway, youre 12... yes. also youre 5'6". let me tell you something. im 17, 5'7" and 150lbs... am I fat? no, im not. i could use a bit more muscle, but i dunno if you knew this, muscle weighs more than fat, so once i start gaining muscle, who knows, i could get up to 160. (but i hope not)\n\nyoure also going to grow a bit more, so youll probably gain a few more pounds. but think, its not fat that youre gaining, its... YOU your bones are growing, along with the rest of you. so just think.
