Piling on weight is legit, in fact that is all we are talking about. Go do a workout with no weights at all, and tell me how you are doing.

Do your workout, keep it pretty simple and basic, add weight over time. That is pretty much it. There is an assortment of tried and true lifts, stick to those, and maybe one day look up isometric, concentric, and try one out for fun.

Debating protein before or after, creatine morning or night, is all pretty much nonsense. Studies are hard to come to a good conclusion, and if they do, they show minor differences that do not account for each individual in the study.

Come work out with me (or any other lifter) and you will get bigger and stronger (because they will make you go five or so times a week). Mind you, I am walking around at 190 and am not tall (just about 5' 8), my workout is not the same for anyone else. A good trainer will design a workout that is focused on that person, but at the end of the day, the most important factor is showing up and getting the workout done, and basics around protein consumption. Pretty much everything else may or may not add to much difference in all, compared to just getting the workout done.

Look at calories. You must either consume less calories then you consume to lose weight, it is as simple as that. This should not be measured in a single day (although you can), but should instead be looked at over a longer time period. The weight room is a bit different, how much you build muscle is a product of the work you put in (minus the fact that the human body for assorted reasons do not all react the same way to lifting). Everything else matters WAY less, including nutrition. Want a basketball physique? Play basketball or follow a basketball strength program. Want to get bigger? Lift bigger.

Your end goal should be based on the type of body you can successfully build towards, not everyone is the same. I won't ever be a tall lanky guy, but can be a stocky build.

I don't think Coleman or steroid use is subject matter in this thread as that goes way beyond acceptable advice.
