Gain muscle and weight?!
Question: im 14 years old and skinny, 145 lbs. the only reason i have a "six-pack" is because there is no fat to cover it up. i want to gain muscle so that i look like this http://www.iwantsixpackabs.com/pictures/...
instead of looking skinny and white like i do now. i also want to make all of my muscles bigger and way more defined than they are now. i might not need to work a lot on legs because i run a lot and already do squats and calf raises and i have a pretty high vertical jump. any help is appreciated

dude...you're 14...not much chance you're look like that guy anytime soon. you are young so let your body develop. Some tips though:
Increase your calorie intake and choose from the following:
Whey protein (mix it with just water to get the most protein impact per stomach amount :-) and/or weight gainers. Oatmeal is good and quick. Beef jerky, cheese/dairy, kashi protein bars, sliced lunch meat, eggs, high calorie protein bars, so much too eat...so little time :-) You will find that you are full at first...push past that...you will gradually be able to consume more and more as your stomach gets used to the increased food intake.
A friend of mine has won several big competitions and if he wins this next one will get his pro card. He eats tons of fish/chicken. At one point he was going through 4+ lbs (easily) of chicken/day.
To gain muscle you need to add upper body lifts to your workouts. Start with pushups, pullups, chinups, and dips. Then you can move into using weights. Do chest, back, triceps, biceps, and shoulders. As you get older and stronger, ensure you're also lifting heavy and pushing hard. You can take creatine and/or NOExplode to help you train harder/stronger/better (when you get older).
lift weight and protein shakes
this is because muscle tissue is heavier than fat tissue
Eat lots of protien or drink it lol. then work out alot, make the weights (if you do wieghts) really heavy but light enough you can do at least 10 reps. just make sure you dont overwork and not eat enough calories with all the working out your doing.
