Lifestyle change: You're almost a grown man and you want to put on lean muscle. Chances are you have a light bone structure which is a plus especially as you get older. Join men who do resistance training in the gym, eat plenty of protein, consider adding creatine and an electronic muscle stimulator if ok with your doctor. Mr. Farrell is proof a slim, light-framed man can be a top male example. Good luck!

Proteins: egg white, chicken breast, salmon, ... Better fats: olive oil, peanuts, almonds, tofu, ....
