My ectomorph plan to weight gain

After consulting as much research as I could (including the US CDC, WHO, and several other sources dedicated to health) I have a general idea about my body's composition, my caloric needs and a plan to finally break free from my unhealthy weight. I have until the end of April to revise my plan, so now is a good time to iron out the details.

Ectomorphic physiology and myself
My body type is that of an ectomorph, a slender elongated frame with somewhat less broad shoulders, thinner bones and less muscle mass. My metabolic rate is incredibly fast and demands more calories than most. I, and others like me, have a runners' physique. My cardio-respiratory system is capable of delivering oxygen to my muscles at a greater rate than others. My strengths are my ease at endurance workouts, my weakness is the tremendous amount of food I require and my difficulty in gaining muscle mass.

Nutrition plan
My plan is to consume between 5000-7000 calories daily in a protein and complex carbohydrate diet. I will try to include as much iron and healthy fats within that diet. It's a rather simple plan.

Exercise plan
My plan for exercise is 2 daily workouts. The morning workout will consist of strength training and flexibility. On Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I plan to concentrate on upper-body, chest, and arms mostly including exercises not requiring weights. Push-ups and pull-ups mostly. Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays will be weights. Tuesdays will be a wild-card day were I choose exercises at random. An hour daily should provide adequate results. Nightly I will run for an hour with my dog.

Hoped for results
If things go well, I'm hoping to gain 75 pounds in 10 months to a year. If I can gain 30 in 2 months (US Army Basic Combat Training), this should be doable.

Any thoughts? Helpful advice? Think I'm crazy for trying this again? My ultimate goal is to weigh 200lbs and to be capable of most physical challenges. I'm tired of being so ridiculously thin, for 6'3" I'm little more than bones and organs right now.

Edit: For reference, my BMI is 15.6, my height is 75", my weight is 125 lbs. My rate of weight loss has been 2.222 lbs per month as of the last 9 months.

Edit: I also plan on seeing my doctor about hyperthyroidism or other metabolic abnormalities.

I'm ectomorphic, too. I've managed to gain a bit/some of durable weight :-)


Nutrition plan

You may state your caloric quantity but how about the quality (prot, fat, sugar, fiber) and for which proportions ?

I don't remember very well, but here is what I was eating regarding the moments around the effort period :

• Before effort / for preparation : I was eating proteins, fats and sugars at 40/30/30 with almost no fast burning sugars

• During effort : I was eating only sugars -- slow and fast burning at 50/50

• After effort / for recuperation : I was eating prots, fats and sugars at 10/40/50 with slow/fast burning sugars at 70/30 to 80/20

• During rest : I was eating prots, fats and sugars at 50/25/25 with almost no fast burning sugars.

I don't eat lot of fibers because of intolerance. Same with lactose. I eat fibers twice in a week, but enough to my taste and not too much for my stomach. Normally you should eat fibers at a normal rate during rest. During effort and preparation, fibers are banned.


Exercise plan

You should apply a more accurate/fitting rhythm :

• Day one, long effort (ex : long-distance race by foot or swiming + if you want sex/fap, it's the recommended period).

• Day two, high intensity effort (ex : work on the upper-body + be careful to not hurt yourself during sex).

• Day three, complete physical rest (ex : even if you have only two floors to your office, take the elevator + if possible, avoid sex/fap).

Then restart from day one.

As for the exercises, it depends on what shape you hope in the end. You should ask a sports teacher/animator.


PS : I don't get the dimensions unless it's displayed in metric system...
