Help me gain weight!
Hey guys,
I'm 19 and I am going to Cancun in 3 weeks for vacation. I'm about 5'9 and weigh 150 pounds. I have a fast metabolism, so gaining weight has always been a problem for me. I'm looking to gain about ~10 pounds. My friends always tell me I look fine, but to me, I need to be a little bit bigger. I don't want to gain jiggly fat, but probably just bulk up on the upper part of my body. I play sports a lot, so my legs are already pretty big. So right now I'm guessing the best way to bulk up is gain muscle and have a balanced diet. I have a few question for gaining some muscles at the gym:
I read less reps, and more weight will help you bulk up. Will the pyramid scheme work on this as well? I used to do 10-8-6-8-10 reps on one machine, with an addition of 5 pounds up to the middle set, then reduce 5 pounds each set down to the last set. Right now, I am doing 3 sets of 10 reps with an additional 5 pounds each set. Which should I do? The pyramid or 3 sets?
Also for my diet, I never have any idea on what to eat everyday, so I just eat random things during lunch and dinner. Like a bunch of hotdogs for lunch, and maybe steak/salmon for dinner o_O. It's summer so I always sleep past breakfast :/. Should I try to eat atleast 5-6 times a day? Like maybe sandwhiches here and there?
