Bodyweight or weight lifting for skinny guys?

Hey /fit/, skinny guy here.
I heard that skinny dudes should do exercises of 3-4 sets of about 6-12 reps to gain muscle mass. I can reach my limit with about 3x10 diamond push ups or 3x7 chin ups. Is it worth buying a gym membership, or should I continue to do body weight exercises until I need more than 3x12 reps to reach my limit?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate your advice.

From who?
You should eat more, and hit the gym, do compound lifts like squats, bench, OHP and deadlifts. Read the sticky and do Starting Strength for a few months. As a newbie you should focus on adding weights to the bar and stay in the 3 sets, 5 reps range. Your gains with bodyweight exercises will be very slow and unbalanced.

Ffs lad, if you have questions like this ask it in a qtddtott, or create one if needs be. If anyone else has any beginner questions ask them here.
As for your question, I was in a similar position and I when I started lifting everything increased rapidly. It even became easier to eat more food. Do greyskull LP
