I'm 18 yrs. old, 6'4, and I weigh 165 lbs, and I'm looking to gain at least 15-20lbs, I workout 5-6 days a week, and I eat a lot of Protien and Carbs but it seems like all of it is going to my stomach. My chest is getting bigger but the rest of my body is really skinny like my forearms, arms, legs and shoulders. It seems like whatever I eat it is just turning into fat and not into muscle. Any Tips on what I should do? I workout for 45 minutes each workout and I use mostly free weights, and I stay away from cardio. But I can't build any muscle. I know I have a really fast metabolism and I workout each muscle group every other day. what should I be doing? or what am I doing wrong?

1. MY guess is your eating really big meals? If so eat a lot of small meals through out the day.
2. Well I know that carbs go straight to your stomach, so you may want to chill out on them. Do resistance exercises. Those seem to work well for my son who also has a high metabolism. I hate to tell you this but some people just look fat before they look muscular and also you can do too much. I know a guy who ate all this weird food because it had lots of protein (like Pinto Beans & tuna fish mixed together). He worked out all the time with weights, no cardio. I watched him do this for like two years and he just kept looking fatter and fatter, even his arms and chest. So I guess what I'm trying to tell you is, don't go overboard. Do a little of everything; weights, cardio, resistance training and eat healthy. If you want more muscle do a little more weights than the other stuff and I would be willing to bet you'll start seeing changes. Good luck to you and God bless.
3. Stop eating that much, And Cardio helps you lose weight. Use heavier weights to form muscles.
   And drink Lots of water.
4. I think your workout duration is too long…as you have fast metabolism, maybe you don't have to workout for 45 mins….well, maybe you should see what you actually eat…maybe too much oil and fat in the food…good luck anyway!
