Im 22 yrs old and weigh about 147 lbs. For my height and age I should weigh 160. My overall goal is to go up to about 200 lbs of muscle. Any tips and info on how I should do this and roughly how long it will take me to do that would be much appreciated.

50lbs of muscle will take you years (3-5 maybe more) to build assuming you are consistent with training and diet. My advice to you is to read. Read everything and then read it again. Assuming you are a newb it is going to take some time to develop a descent amount of training knowledge and even then there is always something to learn. While you are reading train. Get more experience under the bar. Start out by picking a program and following it to a tee.

If you should weigh 160 on average and you want to be a 200lb rock, this will take years of training and learning. How much of each depends on how well you do the above things Pemdas mentioned.
Just curious, why do you want to have that 40lbs of extra muscle? Lifting numbers, aesthetics, general strength and power?

I have actually been working out off and on since I was in highschool. For about a year and a half, two years I got serious in it but was really just starting out and making a lot of mistakes. Now im back in it for good and wont stop till I reach my goal. Im not sure if I will be 40 lbs when I reach my goal. Basically my goal is to look something like this:

I want to get that big for the fact that I would look good, feel good about myself and have confidence in myself again. For the strength and health aspect. Really for a lot of reasons but all of them have to do with me and not other people. Honestly I really dont care if other people like it or not.

Hey, Nd4 welcome to my world.. Last June I weight 205lbs. Man I wish I had the pictures to prove it. You couldn't really tell How much I weight with my shirt on then. I don't have any pics with the shirt off. my waist was 34in. I didn't have a big stomach on me the fat was stored mostly all over my body. The only definiton I had was my arms. I got tired of being tired and changed my diet. I still do the same exercises with energy to spare. now I'm a ripped 175lbs. and my arms are still the same size but I lost about 2in. on my chest damn it...
Now I want to get back to 200lbs. and maintain my physic without gaining fat. Some people say it's possible if you keep your diet clean while increasing the calories and how often you eat.. go to www.conanstevens.com and read this guys way to gain mass he claims he gained some 150lbs. of mass but of course you know this is over a period of years and plus he's 7ft. tall.
--------------
age:26
height:6ft.
weight:174lbs.
chest:43in.
stomach at navel:33in...
biceps:16.5in...cold...
Every thing in my signature is true and I check my measurements and weight once a week...

...so basically you are very skinny and will have to workout and eat very good just to look like you even work out and you want to look like a workout "godess".
Litterally you want to be a posterboy for someone who does workout!
I think you can make great gains but only if you get your perspective right.

sam, this post is over a year old, and your perspective may not be his perspective.

I've been there.
I think perspective can mean so much.
I would never discourage someone and say that they cannot look like that if they tried.
Maybe I should they'd dp better when they are told they can't.
I just wonder if it would be better to have a goal of gaining 10lbs. at a time and see what happens from there.
It is kinda like geting out of high school and saying I want a bank account something like Donald Trumps.
