well yes you weigh 12 an a half stone so you need at least 3,150 calories to gain weight and to add more mass and size, you may buy a protein supplement and then later down the road you can get other supplements as you begin to advance. you need to consume at least 262.5 grams of protein along with 350 grams of carbs and 70 grams of the good fats, olive oil, peanuts, whole eggs as well. once you got your calories up you should be good, but slowly increase you calorie intake up to 3,150 calories, if you have anymore questions please do ask.

is there any chance that you could possibly email me a diet plan if its not too much trouble too you? what kind of protien supplement would i be best to buy to help me gain some weight?

my email address is bagalicious_123@hotmail.com

thanks again, Paul

What do you mean by being too old? – I think however that you’ve the correct age.
I’m convinced of starting too young is not particularly good for your body.
So welcome!
Just one advice. There’s usually a coach – use him often so you’ll perform the exercises correctly.

This is probably the part where most bodybuilders are interested in because they are constantly looking for the magic bullet. But everyone forgets that it is really hard work and discipline that gets you results.
