Eat tons of food and lift hard and heavy. I don't mean eat pizza, chips, cokes etc. Eat lots of egg whites, chicken breasts, oatmeal, veggies, wheat pasta, sweet potatoes, eat and eat and eat.

Lift hard and heavy. When you leave the gym you should be spent.

One without the other won't work. If you eat and eat and eat without lifting you will get fat. If you lift without eating you will go nowhere. My best friend wants to get big like me so he keeps asking me what to eat to get big. I keep telling him that he also has to lift, but he doesn't want to lift because it is hard.

Do very heavy compound lifts. Deadlift, Squat, etc

That is it and keep at it. When you feel like quitting don't.

Yep, that about sums it up. Eat everything you can get your hands on...lots of people think they're eating a lot as it is, but if you're lifting weights and you're not gaining, you're simply not eating enough. You can add protein shakes to your diet, it certainly won't hurt...if I were you, I'd get a meal replacement shake for the extra carbs & calories rather than just a protein shake.

Yeah what they said.. but don't neglact the WHOLE EGG.... Fromthe sounds of you you can afford to eat the Whole egg.. and eat 5-6 times per day about every 3 hours or so... I was 5'10" 150lbs-160lbs from 15-30 years old and couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting bigger.... well.. I just wasn't eating enough... and try to get at least 30grams of protien everyday...
