Is it normal that i can't gain weight at all?
Right, basically, i've been working out for years and it's getting me nowhere.
I'm 23 and around 5 foot 7/8.
I used to drink and smoke but now i've cut it down to about 1 night at the weekend.
I am the smallest & thinnest out of all my friend's/ or anyone around my age for that matter.
I work out about 3/4 times a week. (I do it properly, set day's for certain target area's etc, and i have my own Home Gym. I would join a public gym but i'm not confident enough with my small stature. I used to take protein and creatine supplements nearly every day but nothing happened (eventually just made me feel sick)
I have a very fast metabolism i'm guessing. I can eat like an animal 1 day then hardly anything the next day. My appetite fluctuates so much. But i always eat quite healthily.
I am quite active in my personal life, i work in a school and 3 afternoon's a week i teach exercise lesson's. aswel as swimming lesson's sometimes.
My mother is only short but average build and my father is a little taller than me, quite muscular.
I even managed to get my hands on a muscle-electrolysis kit a while ago which i've been using for a little while (The one's with the pad's that intermittently zap your ab's etc) I am toned (with being so thin) but it's doing nothing for me.
Parts of my body look ok but for example, the tops of my arm's are really thin compared to my shoulder's which looks really odd. My leg's are even worse haha.
I weigh around 8 stone and have tried really hard to gain weight but if anything it just gives me a bloated stomach. which makes me look pregnant :)
I am technically 'underweight' (BMI?) but i don't know what else to try :(
I know this is a stupid thing to be moaning about and i should be grateful etc etc but if anyone has any info i would greatly appreciate it :)
