it used to be stickied at the top of the weight lifting forum here, not anymore it would seem.
Bodybuilding.com - Workout Of The Week - What Is The Best Rippetoe Workout?
check that out. it is a beginners strength/mass routine that works by increasing weight by 2.5% each session, to be run until, well, your lifts stall and you can no longer increase the poundages. that wouldnt be for at least a couple of months though. i haven't don this routine myself yet, but numerous others have has great success with it. try it, if you dont like it, you can always come back here, and myself, or one of the more knowledgable bros can help you work out a routine that works for you.

1: You haven't built enough muscle to hold gains you get from gear.

2: Up your calories and protein consumption and use BIG BLAST and UNLEASHED for six months and gain another 20 pounds.

3: Train harder.

4: READ THE RULES. OF THE BOARD. No source posting.

Bad idea buddy, you need to strive towards your natural limits before touching aas! If you're that skinny you are either not lifting heavy enough or not eating enough calories in a day. Eat a shitload of protein and good carbs like brown rice, sweet potatoes, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, etc.... You could even have a decent amount of cheat meals and weight gainer shakes. Plus if your that light and your body gains weight so quick from all that aas you wanna take you will most likely lose half of it afterwards. For god sake you're 140!!!

Listen, the guys on here on smart (well, most of them) and are giving you some good advice. the diets listed (I didnt read all of them) are good. but here is the problem. you are a TOOTHPICK. an obvious ecto.
Fuck eating clean - what you need is to eat and eat everthing. you are in the unique position where you obviously burn calories fast and thus, can probably eat whatever you want and still be able to see your ribs.
start eating Macdonalds (they have those over there, or down there - or whatever - right?) eat ice cream, chips, pasta. etc. you need calories and lots of them.
as you stated. it is extremely hard for you to put on weight. which also means, that once you have it on, it will be easy to cut it back as you see fit.
as long as you are training you can eat whatever you want. I repeat DO NOT EAT CLEAN. EAT LIKE A FAT KID IN A CANDY STORE.

Some one here may disagree but what they fail to realize is that your case is unique in many aspects. you cannot approach your diet the same as someone who is 5'10" 200lbs.

Once you have put on the weight then and only then will you re-evaluate you diet and start eating clean. but until that time - have fun and eat like a slob!

..remember - Michael Phelps eats over 12,000 calories a day.. meaning, calories does not automatically mean you get fat - and with your body type and stated weight - you need the calories

I forgot - buy a weight gainer protein mix - not whey. some of them have upwards of 1000 calories in one shake.
also, do not neglect the protein - it must stay high as well. but remember a McDonalds Big Mac had 25 - 30grams of protein and 540 kcal. so eat up!

fuck buying a weight gainer, make your own. and although, as an ectomorph, fast food is a tool you can use to gain weight, dont rely on it, i have seen many guys just end up skinny but with a belly.

again, as long as you are still working out - eating fast food (ie high caloric intake) is not an issue.
also, even if you can some stomach fat - which is where ectos tend to gain it - once you hit your desired weight and then start a more stable / disciplined diet - it is easy to trim that added fat away.
you cannot grow without calories - and if you are hitting the gym hard and not getting enough - you will not grow.

This is a common mistake made by many young athletes without a good working knowledge of diet and fitness.
athletes require a much higher caloric intake than the average person.

you are correct. if the average person ate 10,000 calories a day they would get fat. but an athlete in training 10,000 is needed just TO MAINTAIN their current fitness levels. without adequate caloric intake, they begin to lose muscle and fatigue quickly
