We watched a Broncos game at Famous daves last month, I watched him eat an entire side of briscut, a full link, bakes beans, slaw and cornbread and he was asking if I was gonna eat my cornbread if that gives you an idea of how much this guy can throw down.

Not that I havent seen people increase their food intake and gain weight (hack it worked for me). I just know it doesn't work for 100% of people like is being applied here.
well then he has to eat more. he obviously has a very fast metabolism, and if he eats more then he will have an excess of calories which will have to turn into weight.
Indeed.
Some guys just find it a lot harder then others. I didn't put much muscle on the first 6yrs of training. I stayed moderately lean, I ate well most days but looking back the volume really wasn't enough for my metabolism.
Now in year 8 of training I can put on muscle very easily. I don't even have to eat much and I can put muscle on.
My mate eats a lot but doesn't gain. He just needs that 'bit more'. I can also out eat him if I choose to, but then I'd be a fat f0cker if I eat more then him everyday
Get your index finger and your thumb. Wrap them around your wrist. How is the fit?
If you can just about touch your body frame is more 'mesomorpth' (swimmer type of build). If they touch with plenty of space your an ectomorpth (think horse racing jockey type of bu ild) and if they can't touch your more of a endomorpth (sumo type of build). This will give an inclination of what sort of body type you are.
People with small wrists in general won't get really massive but you can still put on A LOT OF MUSCLE, you just won't be going to Mr Olympia
Eat, train, rest, repeat 3-4x a week come back in a solid year. If you haven't gained you didn't do one of the following properly. You should be able to gain at least half a lb in a week easily if your a beginner, if ot over 2 weeks if your eating enough.
