impossible. most likely. at least if you are aiming to gain weight and to sustain that level. of course, one could only say so for sure, after taking a blood sample and doing quite some more tests, but the keyword is: genetic predisposition.
to explain this, it only needs some simple, unalterable facts:
1.) you only have a certain amount of muscle cells. no training whatsoever increases the number of muscle strains or cells. you can only alter the cells metabolism and increase the amount of protein / water / fat stored inside these cells (hypertrophie) by training.
2.) as the number of cells is fixed, so is the physical arrangement of your muscles and bones. the diameter of the endpoint of your muscle which is attached to the bone has a huge impact onto the maximum lift-effect your muscle can achieve. simple physics. this is in favor of the smaller guys, as naturally the diameter and length of their muscles is relatively larger than that of skinny but larger guys (in %). hence, they can lift relatively more, as they have to put less effort into it. that's one reason, why most bodybuilders are relatively small guys.
3.) your metabolism is in general very much dependent on your genetics. the amount of hormones, in particular testosterone, dictates e.g. a lot of your intra-muscular metabolism. then there comes insuline, igf-1, oestrogen, melatonin, orexin and hypocretin, to name only a few hormones that strongly influence your metabolism.
4.) you smoke. a lot. no further points needed. this influences your hypothalamus more than any sport could do
so, the conclusion? there are imho two choices: you either feel good and like yourself the way you are. then stay like this. you don't like the feel you look like? then ask yourself why, because there is not much anyone can do about it.
ah yeah: and stop smoking. i did halöf a year ago coming from 2 packages and it is a great thing to do. never knew how much i was missing out on that taste of great food and a good wine.
ah. and i gained 20 pounds too
