Here's me.

I'm a small guy myself and I've been going to the gym for a year now because I'm going to the army this summer and it's easier if you are in good shape. Some results but I'm still a small guy. Tall, but thin as Gilbert. (192 cm (6 foot 2" ???) , 70 kg (150 lbs ??? )
Petrucci is not only my idol in guitar but also in bodybuilding. That's the shape I want to get to.
Oops. I don't think this is the right thread. Could someone please direct me to the "uncomfortably hairy musicians/guitarists with complexions as pale as 1% skim milk, whose physiques fall somewhere between skinny and slightly out of shape" thread? I feel that's more my speed.
Here's me.

To gain mass, what you eat is probably more important than how hard you lift. For lifting, stick with the most basic compound exercises (ie. squat, bench, deadlift). I'm sure you are well aware of protein/carb amounts, but a lot of people don't take consideration of the type of protein they are consuming. For mass, you should make sure you eat a very slow digesting protein with a small amount of carbs right before bed. The cheapest way I did it was by taking one slice of bread, and just completely overloading it with peanut butter, then drinking a glass of milk. I was only 17 at the time, so hormones played a large role, but I was able to pack on 35 pounds of nearly pure muscle in a year without spending a shitload on supplements. A more proper protein before bed would be a casein protein, cottage cheese is the cheapest way to get those.
Stick with it though, and pretty soon you will bejust like Manbeartrucci!
Now, when I was growing up, the jocks and the musicians only got together when hanging at the stoners. Can you have an appetite for destruction and still keep a lifting schedule?
