This may sound wierd; but ; as something to compement the sly look, I'd really like to put on about 50 pounds !  I'm currently 5-11 and 200 pounds.  I have a 'gut' but want to work that down somewhat; but also put a little padding around my face and neck.  In addition; I'd like to beef up the shoulders, back, arms; chest.  A more muscular, but 'padded' look is what i'm after.  So, I figure; working out in the gym, some cardio and ab work for the gut; but increading the amounts of protein and complext carbs.   Any other suggestions or comments?

At your height, even 200 lbs. seems "over weight". Rather than adding more pounds you need to work out and transfer your "fat weight " into "muscle weight".
I think any trainer will tell you that 185-190 would be a healthier weight for you. As for your face and neck, probably after all your training the weight will redistribute and give that area the fullness you're looking for.

Good luck. I hope you succeed in achieving your goal.

Hey John, I would recommend talking to your doctor about your ideal weight.  I'm also 5'11" and I'm at 225.  I just had an appointment with the doctor and I need to get down to 185.  Not immediately, but sooner than later.  My brother is 6'2" and has very good bulk and hardly any fat.  He weighs 200.

Bald_freak:
I used to go to the gym 4x a week. Light cardio and heavy wieght training. I've always been scrawny. It took 2 years just to add 5 pounds. I have triple my strength, but I have accept the fact that I wont get any bigger than what I am now. Best of luck to you on achieving your goals John. Maybe this tip might help you: You should be consuming 80% of your body weight in grams of protien every day to build and maintain your lean muscle. so for you 160 grams through out the day. Easiest way to do that is a protien shake after you work out and betwwen meals.

The best place to start is with a simple diet exercise plan you can stick to.

Lower your calorie intake to less than your body burns in a day.

Lay off the starches and high carb foods

Dont eat late at night

workout at least 3x a week.

The best way to build up the areas of your body to "balance out" your appearance is to go see a personal trainer and talk to them about your goals. A good trainer should be able to give you a detailed plan on how to achieve your goals.
