I look very lanky/skinny, i have 2 brothers, one of them is 24, 190lbs, ideally i would like to get to his weight within the next 4 years. He used to play football, he never really did extensice training. I understand im naturally putting on muscle, but whats the best way to boost this?

These are basic necessities to achieve your goal. Do searches on fitbuddy at the bottom of the page and you'll find loads of information on how to achieve your goals. DX

A warning for the nutritional plan though. Lots of people have said that the calories are a bit higher than what they actually need to achieve their goals. DX
