Why I Got Started
Going into my senior year in high school I was about 5'11 130lbs, I was extremely lanky and I just wasn't happy with my build that I'd had all my life. That summer I joined the local gym with my good friend Parker who shared a lanky build, I think we both shared the same goals and that was good motivation in the gym.

How I Did It
I'd say dedication and proper nutrition was most important in my case. I'm sure many other natural born skinny people feel that there is no hope. I felt this way for a while, even a few weeks into my everyday lifting. The results did not come right away, but after a few months of real dedication and hard work, I finally noticed change.
When the change started to come I got more serious and started with a lean high protein diet along with creatine and NO supplementation.
Supplements
I started with a generic brand creatine monohydrate. I gained a good 10 pounds over a months period on this specific creatine. On 100% Whey gold standard protein worked best for me post workout.
I also cycled on and off Cellmass and NO-Xplode. BSN's products worked very well for me.
My Diet
My diet was strict at times and very lenient at times. Since a lot of my transformation took place during a year in high school, I didn't have much time to manage my diet and take in a lot of carbs and protein. For lunch I would have a protein bar with a small snack.
At its most serious point, my diet consisted of a lot of plain baked chicken, bananas, peanut butter, protein shakes, and tuna. My carb intake was never as high as it should have been with the mass I was trying to put on, but all of the protein kept me feeling good in the gym.
