    • It could be something genetic. For instance, I have the gene for Marfan's Syndrome and I have always had a slim figure, fast metabolism and difficulty with gaining muscle. I wouldn't say that it is impossible for me to gain it. I have had moments where I was able to lift heavy things without injuring myself, but any muscle mass that I would gain wouldn't stay for long if I didn't do what triggered the muscle growth consistently. Also, the muscle mass would only be noticeable if I flexed my biceps (?).

      If it is something like this or another type of muscular disorder, you would have to have to see a specialist to make sure. Your GP would probably refer you to a specialist in general.

      Lifting weights continuously and eating healthy might be able to do it. Body builders usually have high calorie diets. Keep in mind to start with small weights and then to gradually increase with the weights. Try those hand weights or get inventive and make your own type of weights.

      It just occurred to me: Why don't you try parkour/free running or dancing for exercise? In terms of Parkour, it might be a good idea to learn gymnastics first, since gymnastic principles are used in the sport.
