How much do you weigh? People will tell you to eat big, but it is not as simple as that. Our bodies aren't magically going to use all of that extra food. You need to pace yourself with a small calorie surplus above your maintenance and see how you feel.
It's also about how much you absorb as well. I used to be really skinny but I started doing strength training 3x a week, and drinking 100 grams of oats 3x a day with a plant protein shake, and 2 meals, with natural snacks and lots of mineral water. I also supplemented with hydrolyzed collagen mixed into the oats. I add enzymes as well.
Mass gainers are often full of junk and excess sugars (I made that mistake too). 100 grams of ultra fine oats with milk or water, hydrolyzed collagen and enzymes is better and healthier than any mass gainer you can buy, and cheaper.
However, I do not lift weights, I use an Isokinator Green Giant... But so far this week, I've had 2 people ask me what lifting routine I do in the gym. When I tell them I don't lift, they don't believe me.

You can't get big fast if you're a natural. Unless you have super genes, don't expect muscles to come over night.
those supplements won't do shit if you don't train and eat properly. I'd say focus on the big lifts, be sure to have bench presses, over head presses, deadlifts and squats in your routine as staples, this will all involve lots of muscles, so more gains! you can obviously add isolation exercise, but the compound lifts is where is at! Are you only training for aesthetics or do you wanna train for strength as well? If you're only training for aesthetics, working out in the hypertrophy range should do, focus on hitting 8-12 reps using the right tempo so that you get enough time under tension, you also want to focus on progressive overload.. so make sure you up those weights. Ideally, you would want to workout each muscle group at least twice a week. If you also wanna train for strength, you could have strength days and hypertrophy days. In your strength days you'd aim for less reps and heavier weight and hypertrophy days you'd up the reps a bit more
my first question is why do you want to develop muscle mass? Your body looks great at that weight.
Eat a lot. And I mean it, eat the entire fridge. Don't show any mercy.
So what's the question? Like exercises to gain muscle mass?

Forget the mass gainer... but sure take it finish it but don't bother buying more...
1. Take it after the workout..1-2 servings
2. Eat whenever you are hungry but just track what you eat so you have an idea of what your body needs to grow maintain or cut. Track your weight gain or loss and adjust up or down in food from there. you should know after 1-2 weeks...
3. Lift light weights and do some machines for like 2 weeks to get everything greased up
4. Take 1 of 5 major lifts as your first exercise each time, bench press - squats - pull ups or pull down machines, deadlifts, shoulder press or military press -- and then follow up with isolation stuff... just do whatever you want,...
5. Work your way up to 5-6 workouts per week... to get ripped... Start with 3 a week and see how you feel- u
You take that stuff all day long and you take high protein all day long. You lift real real heavy weights doing five reps of five sets until you're totally exhausted. The heavier the weight you lift the more muscle mass you gain. Take it from me because I was just a skinny kid like you and I got real big lifting heavy and eating a lot. Remember the name of the game is consistency don't skip workouts
250 grams of protein a day. 150 grams of fat a day. Clean carbs. Heavy , high rep squats. Pullups-every hand grip. Heavy incline presses
Eat a lot and lift heavy. Find your maintenance level of calories and eat slightly above that. Eating is important and lifting heavy. Try these lifts
-deadlift variations: trapbar, Jefferson, behind the back
-squats: front barbell and back barbell
-press: dumbbell incline and flat press, also with barbell
-weighted chin ups
-croc rowsYou mean you bought a "mass gainer" protein powder?
My advice to all noobies wanting to "get huuuge faaast maaan" is to calm their tits and focus on getting stronger first. I highly recommend stronglifts 5x5 or starting strength. Follow one of them to the letter and see yourself transform after a few months. And eat. A lot. Not just salads and protein. Eat normally but a lot!Well what you want to do is pay attention to your diet. Raise the carbs to about 2g per pound of body weight. Keep the protein to about 1g per pound. Calories as well 2g per pound of body weight and lastly focus on mass building exercises such as: bench press or anything pressing, and rows for back thickness
It sucks but to put on a lot of size you're probably going to loose the six pack for a little while. It's just not possible to stay super lean while bulking. Lift heavy and eat everything
just compound exercises (bench, dead lift, squat) do them often
and 8-12 rep range but you won't gain as much strength as under 8Takes time man. I would start with a beginner profram like starting strength, stronglifts, or icf 5x5 while on a surplus
consistently is the best routine, and days off to repair. follow the directions. you far away from having to mod, or manipulate for gains.
Eat calorie dense foods. Lift more compound exercises. And try to bet today's workout and eating by tomorrow.
Leg press, stairclimber, row machine
Eat your protein shakes
eat more fast food!!
