"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I was looking to add a little more weight, though I want to stay think and fit/firm. I was wondering what those weight gain supplements are all about, how they work, and what type of exercise you have to do when taking them.

Well there are many different kinds depending on your goals. Do you want to bulk up or cut. You can't do both at the same time.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Well I'd suggest you get on some whey protein and some creatine if you have the money for it.

Take both post workout and mix the creatine with dextrose to spike your insulin and shuttle the creatine to your cells.

For your workout I would suggest something like this for each bodypart. You can do this twice per week since you're new.

Shoulders,Traps-
Overhead DB Press 3x6-10
DB Side Lateral Raises 2x6-10
DB Bent Over Raises 2x6-10
DB Shrugs 3x8-12

Chest-
Flat DB Press 3x6-10
Incline DB Press 3x6-10
Dips(leaning forward) 3x6-10
DB Flys 2x6-10

I gave you what I thought for what you asked. Personally I think a full body routine done twice a week would be best for you.

Hope this helps. If you have questions or comments then just ask.

5 pounds isnt that much, i dont think you need any weight gainer. just increase your daily calories.

Yes, and the best way to do this is by drinking a few protien shakes a day.

Weight gain supplements = overpriced. Food is better and cheaper. Eat more meat, drink more milk, and do high volume workouts. You won't get fat from that.

And do multijoint exercises. For biceps do pullups/chins weighted for high volume. For triceps do dips weighted. For chest do bench press. For shoulders and traps to military press. For legs do squats. For back do deadlifts or good mornings. Forget that isolation garbage, and forget machines. Multijoint freeweight lifts will increase growth hormone and testosterone release, especially at high volume.

And do NOT forget creatine. A cycle of that should give you a good 5-10 pounds, even if it is water in your muscles. But forget loading phases. 5g per day is enough.
