Ectomorph - skinny sacrcrows(sounds like you)
Mesomorphs - middle-ish(I am one)
Endomorphs - fat/stocky, think power lifters
Surprisingly, ectomorphs have the best success in body building, as most anyone can put on body weight, but it is really difficult to shred out and maintain the mass.
It will take time, 5-10 pounds a month is a good goal. Focus on your fast twitch muscles with power lifting, and work on your form and intensity. The mind-body connection is the best tool you can develop for the gym. Your body will tell you what it needs.
It is 10% gym and 90% nutrition/sleep/taking care of yourself.

hi brobborb,
Why were you trying to get fattened up so quickly?
I know that Michael Caine's recipe for fattening up for film roles is to eat
lots of pasta - things like Fettucine Alfredo, Linguine Carbonara, etc...
Age is a factor too. Once I got close to 40, I started putting on weight and
keeping it on. I am no longer skinny as a rail.
I would work with professionals on this kind of thing, maybe a trainer and a
doctor. They will help you refine your goals and to achieve them sensibly.
cheers,
Pat

You ate that much and you're still alive? <gd&r>
Seriously though - 20 slices of pizza is NOT healthy... Unless it's home
made and you know how much fat is going into it, most places are
dripping in grease! Take Pizza hut for instance, their stuff is greasy
as hell!!
Try cutting out the crap, and your body will thank you for it...
