Welcome to DB! I'm a beginner myself and have found immense help through this forum, whether it be from casual posters, moderators, or even the admin Marc David. The number 1 thing to bodybuilding is nutrition, from what I've found. If you're skinny, you would want to start lifting weights, in a prescribed regimen. This may take some trial and error as it did for me, but 1 that I reccommend is this... http://www.t-nation.com/findArticle.do?article=04-073-training
This is a Hypertrophy specific regimen. Hypertrophy, if you look up the definition, simply means to enlarge something. It sounds like you want to increase the amount of muscle you have, which is good and what most people want to do. SOmething to keep in mind is that the more muscle you have, your metabolism will increase. So if you are currently sedentary, and are skinny, keep that in mind. If you do start eating a lot more, which you most likely will want to do, do a CLEAN bulk.
The poster Veggeep is a vegetarian and has gained a ton of weight without even eating meat. You want to increase your calories, without increasing the dangerous stuff like cholesterol, fat, and sugar. I'd reccommend increasing your intake of complex carbs, like whole grain products and brown rice. When you lift weights, your muscles burn up glycogen, which is essentially a carbohydrate, or sugar if you want to look at it simply. So you a.) need to give your muscles carbs for energy so you can lift and b.) replace the glycogen you burn from training your muscles by eating carbs.
Go to www.fitday.com once you have figured out what you need to be eating, and plan your meals on their. Also, be sure to take in LOTS of protein, as it aids in muscle recovery. Just make sure that when you start "bulking" you do it in a clean way and eat healthy foods. If you do that, you not only will be getting bigger and hiding your ribcage :), but you'll also look RIPPED which is what most everyone wants to do. You may find it hard at the beginning, and results will take time, but if you give it a year, you will absolutely be impressed and feel like you achieved something. :Later

yeh im trying to figure something out for now with the tools i have at home. i need the upper half to become abit wider from shoulder down to the waist. Look at my original post what kind of workouts can i do with that equipment to do Most of all WINGS, then maybe around my rib cage. And i was looking in that link & i was told if u want mass to leave abit of rest between sets 3-4min but in there if u want muscle size it says 30-60sec rest.

You train the deltoid muscles in th shoulder.
The shoulder is made up of 3 muscles...
Collectively they are the Deltoid muscle
There is the Anterior, Lateral and posterior (Front, side and rear) deltoid (or delt for short).
Presses will work the front delt and side lats will work the side delts..while rear delt raises will hit the rear delts.
Not a whole lot of sets! Delts are easy to overtrain.
See exerx for video of exercises.
Pick one exercise for each of those (Front, side and rear) and do 1 set to begin with then in a week do two...
Start with a weight that allows repetitions in th 15-25 range and gradually get heavier, 12-15 range...and eventually 9-12 range.
Learn the exercises with light weight and learn to get the feel of the muscle you are working.
Train them M-W-F or any 2 non-consecutive days...
Be sure to train the whole body! It helps to get the growth going strong!
See to your diet.
Get enough rest.
specific questions?
