Gaining weight

i'm 5'10 and 125 lbs . most of the exercise i get is from doing casually dunbell lifting at home and jogging a couple km on the weekends . i have been eating a huge amount every meal for my entire life (chinese family cooks a lot) but im still relatively skinny and not gaining weight at all.
looking for some tips and advice on how to eat/exercise better to gain weight/muscle healthily but steadily.

Sometimes genetically, there's not much you can do to gain weight. But you can do things to help. Forget the jogging and dumbbell curls, and do full body weight training 3 times a week with heavy weights.

Also your family may cook a lot, but if it's mostly rice and noodles, the weight gain will be a lot of visceral fat (organ fat). Keep eating as much as you can, but focus on eating meat, meat, and more meat. Every meal you eat should have mostly protein and fat.

Keep this up, and you will be more muscular, stronger, and have better cholesterol and your organs will work better.

thanks for all the advice

ok no more cardio for me
what are compound exercises?

i usually eat breakfast, lunch, a semi-meal afterschool, dinner, a late night snack before i sleep . i get 8 hours of sleep (11pm-7am)
is that sufficient and what changes can i make?
should i be doing squats and deadlifts everyday? or just a few days a week?

Protein, and plenty of it, take shakes, and eat lots of meats and nuts, lift heavy and no cardio at all. You get enough sleep, and try to drink lots of water, maybe add into intake of carbohydrates if you want.

Simplest way:

1) Go to the gym 3 days a week
2) Each day, do a heavy upper body pulling motion, a heavy pushing motion, and a deadlift or squat variation
3) Use a weight where you are able to do about 8-10 reps on the first set. Subsequent sets may be lower - that is a good thing.
4) Repeat each set until you reach 25 total reps. So it could be 10 on the first set, then 8, then 5, then 2.

Pulling exercises: rows, pulldowns, barbell pulls, cable pulls (at high, med, low settings there are many variations you can do)

Pushing exercises: dumbbell press, dips, pushups, shoulder press. you can use cables for a lot of variation here too

Deadlifts/squats: Besides the obvious you have front squat, hack squat (my personal fave) overhead squat, side lunges, romanian dumbbell deadlift, single leg deadlift, bulgarian split squats. You can even do a cable squat with the lowest pulley.

Not get to the gym and EAT EAT EAT.

im sorta in the same situation.. but I am able to gain weight.. count your calories it helps a lot.. it is rather tedious tho and requires work to plan out everything.. but its worth it.

pick up some magazines like iron man or muscle & Fitness.
Take a look at the routines that the pro's use and look at the common basic exercises and movements like flat bench presses, incline bench presses or dumbbell presses, squats. Build a routine around those common exercises. Research online as well.
Increase your calorie intake as well.
You can still do cardio at the beginning to get your body warmed up.

I'd suggest eating as often as you can.

The trick is not to stuff your face everytime there's food, it's to keep a constant level going. If you ever have the feeling you're hungry, then you're doing it wrong.

Eat like a horse. Sleep like a baby. Grow like a weed.

Squat and Deadlift.
5x5 routine is a good start: http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5...ining-program/
also Starting Strength. Both are fairly similar.
Very simple and quick. Do that, and ONLY that at first. Don't worry about any other exercises for the first little while.

Eat more protein and fat.

Get good, quality sleep. Not 2am to 7am.

As per above .. if you start taking protein a nice way to add calories to your protein shake is to buy a nice blender (I picked up a kitchenaid 900 watt beast from XS cargo for $50 a few weeks ago) and add some organic peanut butter or organic almond butter (2 teaspoons or however much you like, a jar will last you a week or so and costs $7-$10) and add just a little bit of liquid, liquefy that mofo for a good 30 seconds or so, then start slowly adding protein/more liquid. You should end up with a very creamy + tasty protein shake. I guess this method is common sense to any female, but we as men have a tendency to just add a shitload of stuff then try to blend on high, it doesnt work well that way. Also, this gets rid of any gross protein shake clumps that may be present.

I'm gonna guess you have a high metabolism..
The only way to gain weight is eat eat eat eat your face off

What skinnypupp said is right, eating lots of rice and noodles wont do anything for you.
MEAT is your friend, and 3 meals a day probably wont do anything for you, double up what you're eating now

I would recommend eating every 3 hours. Don't eat till you're full every meal, eat about 70%. That way, you still have an appetite for the next meal. You wouldn't want to eat a meal if you're still full from the previous meal.

Cook your own food. Don't wait around for someone's breakfast/lunch/dinner time.

You don't make friends with salad.

^The only thing that could possibly go wrong is if your form sucks and you end up hurting yourself. Make sure to start light and work your way up. Dont let your ego get in the way of you making slow but steady progress
