how do i gain muscle? i'm an skinny guy, 6'1 & about 160 pounds. also want to know about good supplements like protein and fish oil and multivitamins

Protein: to gain weight you need more calories in than you use in a day. 500 more calories a day will result in a one pound weight gain a week. Fish oil and multivitamins are not necessary for weight gain. Taking adequate protein- such as 80 grams a day ( for your weight and height) is important. Good luck
