Answer #1

alright well here’s my take on how to gain muscle mass, which I know is the right way because I do it. first of, when you lift, lift heavy and with low reps ranging from 6-8 reps (this builds big muscle, not cut lean mucle. you have to build big then lean down). also you have to invest some money in supplements and get yourself some mass protein powder, I take mass XXX (gnc’s brand). it has about 1000 calories each serving. then you also have to slowly consume more and more calories, like 500 more a day every 2-3 weeks. lastly, dont run as much. I do cardio once a week and run once a week. hope this helps, message me if you need anymore advice.

Answer #2

ok heres the deal to become good at something lets say football you have to play football and to become a better soccer player then you have to play soccer. so what i suggest is that you run 1-2 miles every day for a while that will help your cardio. then play the sport. then make sure you consume more than 2000 calories a day. hope this helps

By the way don’t worry about gaining more weight..Be happy with you body. To increase your strength you are going to have to increase your reps and sets of reps. Start by doing everything you are doing now, just increase it to maybe 10 sets of 12 reps. If you’re interested I can give you a routine. Upper body one day lower body the next etc…. Familycoach
