I've been skinny my whole life, definitely an Ectomorph. Recently I've been able to put on some weight by using creatine and protein shakes twice a day. However I've been stuck at the same weight for the last two weeks.

How I can push my body past this plateau? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Count how many macros you usually eat, then increase that amount per day

Add macros preferably in protein but if you are looking for the simplistic way, add 1-2 tbsp of evoo or coconut oil to your shakes.

Use calorie dense foods. Whole milk, nuts, cheese, olive oil, coconut oil.

Also check out r/gainit on Reddit.

This is my go to for ppl who say they're having troubles gaining....

quote:

"For breakfast you need to eat four of those breakfast sandwiches from McDonalds. I don't care which ones you get, but make sure to get four. Order four hash browns, too. Now grab two packs of mayonnaise and put them on the hash browns and then slip them into the sandwiches. Squish that shite down and eat. That's your breakfast." At this point I'm thinking this guy is nuts. But he's completely serious. "For lunch you're gonna eat Chinese food. Now I don't want you eating that crappy stuff. You wanna get the stuff with MSG. None of that non-MSG bullshite. I don't care what you eat but you have to sit down and eat for at least 45 minutes straight. You can't let go of the fork. Eat until your eyes swell up and become slits and you start to look like the woman behind the counter." "For dinner you're gonna order an extra-large pizza with everything on it. Literally everything. If you don't like sardines, don't put 'em on, but anything else that you like you have to load it on there. After you pay the delivery guy, I want you to take the pie to your coffee table, open that fricker up, and grab a bottle of oil. It can be olive oil, canola oil, whatever. Anything but motor oil. And I want you to pour that shite over the pie until half of the bottle is gone. Just soak the shite out of it." "Now before you lay into it, I want you to sit on your couch and just stare at that fricker. I want you to understand that that pizza right there is keeping you from your goals." This guy is in a zen-like state when he's talking about this. "Now you're on the clock," he continues. "After 20 minutes your brain is going to tell you you're full. Don't listen to that shite. You have to try and eat as much of the pizza as you can before that 20-minute mark. Double up pieces if you have to. I'm telling you now, you're going to get three or four pieces in and you're gonna want to quit. You fricking can't quit. You have to sit on that couch until every piece is done. And if you can't finish it, don't you ever come back to me and tell me you can't gain weight. 'Cause I'm gonna tell you that you don't give a frick about getting bigger and you don't care how much you lift!" Did I do it? Hell yeah. Started the next day and did it for two months. Went from 260 pounds to 297 pounds. And I didn't get much fatter. One of the hardest things I've ever done in my life, though.
