Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new at working out, but I do have some muscle. I'm 6 feet 145 lbs, but I have very thin skin and almost no fat, so the muscle shows through pretty well (aka, I don't look TOO scrawny).
Anyway, I was wondering how I should be working out to gain some muscle. I heard that to gain weight you should do like 5 reps of really heavy weight rather than 10 reps of lighter. Is there any formula that you guys know of that's good for gaining muscle instead of just toning?
Also, how much am I going to have to eat to gain this muscle? I have a prety small stomach and get full easily, but I have some protein powder to help me out =).
Thanks a ton, I really appreciate it.
