I took a summer and experimented with working out 6 days a week. I had an easy job with few hours, so I ran about 3 miles a day, then either shadowboxed or went to the gym to lift weights. Called Sunday a day of rest.
My brother came to visit me toward the end of the summer and was shocked at how much bigger I looked. To be fair, I was a skinny mofo beforehand and hadn't worked out seriously for a while, and I'm a hardgainer. I probably put on about 15 pounds and gained a good bit of definition since he last saw me.
Plus, I also had an awesome meal plan that allowed me to get really healthy food...I practically lived on turkey and cottage cheese that summer. Topping that off with a protein shake after every workout helped a lot.
That was a few years ago...I've since lost the muscle I put on, since I haven't been working out or eating enough. But I'm going to hit the trails again tomorrow and start bulking up to get it back...going to Europe in a couple of months and I want to look good for the beach.
