Aight, i'm 16 i went 5'11 and 190lbs and i consider myself to have an athletic body(12% body fat) im training to get into bodybuilding, which isnt working so well since it is lacrosse season for me(i can't bulk up with all the cardio excircise im doing). A trainer at the gym i go to tells everyone if their goal is to gain muscle mass, which i think is what u want, then your gonna need to eat more than u do right now of bulking foods(proteins: steak, beef, beans, pork, and any other heavy proteins and eat LOTS of carbs for bulking this does not mean fatty snack food carbs, instead carbs such as baked potatoes, bowls of pasta, rice, and other heavy starches) by eating 4-6meals a day (meal consisting of: veggies,fruits, one of the heavy carbs, and one of the heavy proteins) u will not have a problem of not being able to gain weight. If u maintain this kind of diet for about 2monthes and lift weights 4-5 days a week you will gain 10-30lbs of muscle mass, gaurunteed.

Also someone listed before their muscle group workout plan before and reading it assured they didnt know what muscle groups the basic excircises worked on and the muscle groups that go together. The Bodybuilding weekly workout.

Monday: Chest(pecs),Triceps- these to muslces are placed together because the pectoral muscle excircises all work the triceps also, as a secondary muscle. Ex: bench press, dumbell presses,incline bench press, pushups.

Tuesday: Leg workout(quads, hammies,glutes)not calves- these excercises include quad extensions, hamstring curls, barbell squat, front squat/hack squat, leg press, and stiff-leg deadlifts. these go together because the excirces work the whole upper leg muscle group.

Wed: Rest/Abs

Thursday:Back/Biceps- These two muscle groups are worked out together for the basic motion that the back excirces work biceps as a secondary muscle workout. ex: pulldowns and bent rows, and curls

Friday:Calves Delts- Calves can really be done on any day of your choice, but since delts are the odd muscle out you'll have some extra time to do calves with them. Excirces: calve raises, front delt raise, military press which works tricep as secondary muscles and the tri's should be well rested since monday(w/ smith press, or dumbells), bent rear delt raises, and side delt raises, ect.

Sat/Sun: Rest/abs

A days workout should be at 45mins-1hr and 30mins for maximum effect

Following this diet and workout plan will help u gain 10-30lbs of muscle mass depending on your metabolism/bodytype.

And here's a little inspirational video to help ya get started also:

working secondary muscles on the same day is actually a bad idea because they become pre-fatigued and you can't work them as hard

wow we weigh the same but im 3 inches shorter and probably would knock your ass out.......

THAT IS Extremely skinny man. You need to gain some fat. From now on you should EAT as much food as u can, go to fast food. Buy protein shakes, eat powerbars. 140 for 5"10 is not avg build. I have a friend whose 5'10 and hes about 160-180 lbs.

I am the skinniest guy in my group. And right when i thought i was rly skinny TL.net people filled with a buncha stick people.

I'd have to agree with rawrx on this one. If you are just looking to tone yourself and not bulk up then just being active is really all you need to do. Go to the gym and experiment with things and just try a lot. Doing anything is better than doing nothing.

Most of the posts in here seem a little extreme to me and wouldn't be followed except for serious lifters (or people who are serious about building muscle). If you could stick to your regime you can become extremely toned by simply running and doing core workouts such as pushups/situps.

As to when you run I don't think that that really matters either. The biggest thing is finding something that works for you. If you aren't a morning person then I don't care how many studies are done that show it is better to run in the morning, don't schedule it then.

I was a competitive runner in highschool and ran basically whenever I found time. As I said its a matter of preference. I enjoyed either running early in the morning or late at night to beat most of the heat. There is nothing fun about being out in the middle of nowhere on a 10 mile run with the sun beating down on you at 5pm when its 105 degrees. Overall though, I never lifted weights but yet I was extremely tone just off of running and doing situps/pushups.

Basically, as I've been saying, the key is finding what works for you. You are not going to see results unless you stay dedicated to what you are doing. I for one would like to see you post your progress and how things are going. Motivation to work out does not always come easy.
