geek in a box SG

hey guys
I'm 16 and kinda skinny hoping that i can put on more weight. I attend the gym regularly but don't see much results and noticed that many ppl there takes protein shakes. I'm thinking of using protein shake as well, any tips or recomendations?
Thanks.

before u start taking... answer the following:

1) What's your typical training like?
2) What's your typical diet like?

i usually go to the gym like once a week, but now is exam period so lesser maybe once in two weeks? and my diet, i have to admit my diet is not very consistent, i eat when im hungry (and sometimes a lot) and if im not so hungry i dont eat that much. i tried eating more peanut butter and sleeping more but dunno y i just won't gain that much weight. sian...

It's not just about frequency of going gym, nor is it just about what you try to eat

List down what exact exercises you are doing (squats? deadlfits?)

and

Give a sample day meal

The thing is, if you are not going to be training hard with compound exercises, then any protein shake u taking will come out as expensive urine.

i usually just do chin ups (palms facing away) and pull ups (palm facing you) and push ups and sit ups. Im trying not to touch weights until im like 18 cos' i heard it can stunt growth although i do touch a little in the gym.

my typical diet is

morning- milk eggs/bread with peanut butter

afternoon- chicken rice

night- mixed rice(mother cook de)

and snacks here and there along the way like chips or anything i can find on the table, tried chewing on raw celery before but it really sux and leave a bitter aftertaste in my mouth...

That's total rubbish. I have had students who start gym-ing early, and are taller than me. Even if it does happens, you are already 172 cm, how many cm do you think it will affect you? Bring you down to 150 cm?

in gym just workout the machines lor.

Really... fix your training

I share with you my typical training in a very busy week.... so much so that I can't spare more than 1 hour each time I exercise...
For the week just past:

Mon: Inclined Bench Press, 15 mins
Tue: 2.6km run
Wed: Rest
Thu: 2.8 km run, or at times interval training
Fri: Deadlift + chin ups (max 40 mins)
Sat: 3km run (usually not done)
Sun: Full Squats (max 40 mins)

Diet:
Weekdays more standard...
7am: If day before got intensive training, then 1 protein shake
9am: Breakfast, usually unhealthy economic bee hoon, plus 2 fried eggs
12 noon: Cai Png, 2 meat 1 vege
3.30 pm: Depends, sometimes skimmed milk powder+honey+instant quaker oats
6++pm: Dinner, also depends... Rice with vege with lots of meat if at home, or Cai png, 2 meat 1 vege if outside
12 midnight: some milk, or if dinner leftovers, vege and some meat... if not so hungry, then eat cheese, if intensive training for that day then milk for the caesin + 1/2 scoop powder... flexible...

Snack on raisins or nuts in office...

Weekends even more busy than weekdays, so the morning part skip... Replace 7am and 9am things with a 3-in-1 coffee plus 1 scoop protein for morning, and a bit of nuts or cheese...
