well i am a new guy to the gym life, so maybe i can give u some good advice. i started at the other end compaired to u, as i was very underweight and trying to bulk up, but the ideas are still the same. As everyone here, and everywhere for that matter, will tell u, diet is the #1 key. This is something that u should dedicate some time to researching. U can spend all day in the gym and gain nothing without a correct diet. When u get your diet in check, u need to find a training program that applies closest to what u are lookin to achieve. And the MOST important key is dedication. No matter how long it takes u, if u stick with it u will be happy with the results. Like i said, i was very skinny when i started, and have been working out for about a year. I have put on about 32 pounds in that time, due to research, a good diet, training hard, and great dedication. No where near as big as i want to be yet, but not giving up. Get it all together and stick with it and u will get where u want to be
