Hey all,

I'm new to the forum and just needed a little input. I'm 5'5" 150lbs and about 15% - 20% body fat, i'm trying to reach a goal of 185lbs and i just feel tiny. By looking at my picture would you say I'm an Ectomorph or hard gainer?

IMO, I always thought that I was a hard gainer, then I realized that it's all about your diet. A lot of guys think there hard gainers, the thing is you just need to eat......... a lot!! it's that simple. Eat like an animal look like an animal, eat like a bird look like a bird, again it's all diet.

MrBig is right lol. You want to get big? Eat. Its not about the drugs, it's not about the perfect training routine, it's not about the supplements. It's all about the food. The more you eat the more you'll grow. Once the diet is in check, everything else just boosts the process.

Some one here once said, "muscle is made in the kitchen not in the gym" which is pretty much true, we all know we still need to go to the gym though.
