I am skinny, I will always be skinny. When I tried to bulk up I just got stronger but for example my arm diameter stayed the damn same. I called it at the time the mountain climbers syndrome as I had no other idea when I was that age. I would ride my bike everywhere, I was super active, and I rarely if ever got to eat crappy food. I also did weight training and hell I was living on an honest to god farm with real farm work. Nadda! I just got stronger but my body did not change.
Putting on size isn't purely genetics, honestly. Your problem sounds like diet. The biggest thing most people who don't grow forget to concentrate on is diet. Diet is MORE important than lifting hard when trying to grow. You should of been eating a couple of chickens from your farm after each workout, than you might of grown! Go on bodybuilding forums and look at the skinny guy transformations that have done it naturally. If they just lifted weights they would of stayed skinny no matter how hard they tried, but they naturally can afford to go nuts and eat eat eat to put on size. Of course you want it to be the right foods/mix.
