Hi there.

I'm 18 years old and have been skinny for as long as I can remember. Everyone says I need to eat more, but it's hard for me to complete large(r) meals. The places where I am skinniest include my wrists and my ankles. I'm not to the point where I look like skin on bones, but I'm definitely below average on the weight/height scale.

I like to play sports, but I've never really lifted heavy weights. I played varsity tennis for 4 years in high school, but it wasn't something that required a lot of sheer mass or muscle.

I'm basically looking for a plan that will help me increase my overall size and give me some more strength. Researching on the web, I've gotten nothing but mixed opinions. Some sites claim that the only way to go is moderate weight and on a daily basis, while others swear by heavy weights and short sessions a few times a week.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
