I am 13, and weight 130...
I also want to gain some muslce mass as believe it or not Im pretty skinny. Starting from scratch can someone give me good advice about what to eat, how often, and what type of workouts to do?
First of all: pushups, sit-ups, body-weight squats, dips, hill sprints, crunches, core-work, pullups, handstands/handstand pushups
Then, once you have conquered the bodyweight strength: Deadlifts, box squats, bench press, incline bench press, push press, rows, front squats, etc.
During all of this eat every moment you arent full.
In the morning, have something that tastes good and is full of energy (protien, carbs, fruit) so as to get your metabolism and appetite for the day going.
3 hours after that, eat again. If at first it seems impossible, prep yourself after 3 hours and dont wait a second longer than 4 hours from your other meal. Do this every 3-4 hours and you'll start to gain a bit. Eat every 3 hours, and you'll gain a truckload.
You can do the bodyweight exercises every day, and seperate the weighted ones out 2 or 3 times a week, into different body components. (legs, back/chest or legs/back, chest/arms/core etc.) This is less important than just doing something to grow (breaking down muscle) and eating (building up muscle).
Ask questions about those exercises in the strength and power forum, and try to get awnsers from Entropy. Train hard!
