the bad news........being 6'2", it will be harder to put on mass you see on others shorter than you, it will take some time.
good news......when and if you acquire that mass, on a tall frame, its a beautiful dominant silhouette.
stick to the same principles as others....core lifts, eat eat eat!
i myself am 6'3", and i believe Mudge is your heighth....just keep at it brother, progresses slowly, but when its there, youll like what you see.

Yep, I'm 6'2" and have worked up to 268 before dieting down (I was 16.1% bodyfat) and I still want more more more. The bane of the tall man is you need a lot more weight to show it like said above, but once you fill out (you know, when you are 350 and ripped 
) you will look like a walking slaughterhouse.
When I bulked I was 5300-6500 calories a day, my metabo is not fast at all but 8k is madness
Scale up your calories so you dont want to puke all the time, 1k calories to start is nice if you are cycling. Anything more drastic than that can make you want to quit your diet/bulk, unless you can eat like a madman naturally.

There wasn't a Wendy's near me when I lived in that area, right now I have
Wendy's
Carl's Jr (great also)
BK
Taco Bell
Jack in the Box (low class burgers, 99 cent jumbo jacks though I could do a few of, I think 5 is the most I've had)
I'm pretty happy with those choices. When I want a "$10" burger there is a place called Taxi's that makes the beeeeest damn burger I've ever had, kind of a 50s style place, great shakes too. Then for pizza of course, there are two great chicago style places here.

Buddy of mine is 6'4" only like 205, but he's put on as much or more weight than I have in the last year -- and I've gained over 40lbs.
more important than calories is the protein intake for adding mass. at 195 if you looking to bulk you need 400g pro/d. a wendys triple is about 75g pro. 40g pro is 1600 cal BTW.
squats, deads (or a variation of) and heavy back work are the keys to adding mass.
have fun.

400g protein is 1600 calories, yep. Protein calories can be excreted though, but thats part of the magic of not getting 'fat' on high protein/low carb/moderate fat diets.
Just dont go too crazy on carbs unless you are some kind of genetic freak, insulin resistance will follow, and you'll chub up like me.
You could look into supplementing with vanadyl sulfate as a mild, legal glucose disposal agent with your carb meals.

reverse grip benching will pound your triceps . they are hard to explain so try a search here first there have been several conversations about them in the past . then if you have any questions ask them here and i will try to clarify .diehard21 said:
i switched to reverse grip benches several years ago when i blew out my ahoulders , for some reason my shoulders didnt hurt when benching reverse grip . within months my triceps were growing like weeds .
