I have a new contract where I’m going up and down tall ladders all day long with a heavy tool belt on. I’m already a fairly lanky person, and the six months I have been doing this I have lost about 15 pounds of my muscle mass. I look scrawny as hell. I started going to the gym again and drinking mass gainer, but I can’t gain a pound because of my activity level at work. Anyone have any good strategies for gaining mass? I have a feeling most people are just going to say eat more but I already eat insane amounts of food it seems. I just have a super high metabolism. Looking for tricks or certain things that may help slow down my metabolism or help me gain faster than I’m losing

I'm a bit late here but just ran across this. This guy is a fucking moron. You are doing an exercise that your body benefits from being as light as possible. Your body is going to strip everywhere it can for you to be more efficient. Some of that will be unnecessary muscle mass. You don't need any more muscle than is required to do the job and your body will revert to that state. Want to pack more weight on? Stop fighting gravity. Let your body know it can carry more mass without it being a detriment.
