At the moment gaining weight is hard for me. I'm 17 and I'm starting rugby next week. I am 72 kg(158 pounds) and 5ft 9 (1.79 metres ) and want to gain about 8kg. At the moment I'm working out 5 days a week and eating 4,000 calories a day but I haven't been gaining weight. I saw this article and...

Ok I find this strange. I have a six pack but when I don't tense I have a big belly. Even when I don't tense I can still see the outline of my abs but not as clearly when tensing, obviously :P Is this to do with the amount I eat?

I've been doing weights for nearly a year now and still looking for the right routine. Can anybody help me with this? I'm 16 bout 5,9 135 pounds and have a lot of free time because I'm off school for 3 months. I currently take whey protein and bcaa. Can anybody help I would really appreciate it :)

Thanks lads. I can do all the workouts but the thing I find the hardest is the diet. I hate the taste of all veg and fruit but I try my best to eat as much as possible so it's kinda hard :/
