thanks for all the replies, im not self conscious but hey who doesnt want the perfect 'beach body'.
as of monday im starting a strict diet regime and combining it with weight gainers and a workout plan setting a 3 month target weight of 85 kilos with a good build, we will see how it goes.
eat regularly - 5 smallish meals a day. Workout. Use the energy drinks (but be caregul to balance the input to your calories burned). If you want to put on weight (get fat) that's easy! Lean mucsle mass is much harder to get, especially form extomorphs like me.
When I was 22 I was unhappy with my appearance, so joined the gym. I worked out 4-5 times a week 2 hours a time. I was doing a lot of cardio and weights (but not the real heavy stuff). My weight actually dropped but I looked totally different. Lots more muscle and flat stomach! Ahh those were the days! You probably cant turn into Arnie (as you may not have the muscle fibres top begin with), but u can certainly change the way you look.
