Why do you want to gain weight? I find advantages to being light. I like the fact that I eat less food and save money.

i remember a coach once told me if you want to build mass, do heavier weight with lower reps. like 3 sets of 3 bench, making the last set near impossible (close to your max) so it breaks down the muscle causing your body to build more to handle the new load.

not sure how accurate that is, but it seems to make sense to someone who hasnt peeped in a gym in 10 yrs.

its true but he left out an equally if not more important part, eating a lot of high protien foods.

so just eat meat + veggies/fruits? no carbs?

and work out with 3 reps of heavier weights?

I'm skinny myself.
I know you wanna bulk up and everything but you're going to have a hard time maintaining all that weight if you're metabolism isn't suited for a heavier frame.

I rather like the tone look. I do lighter reps with weights so the muscle doesn't gain mass but becomes more toned and fit.
Push-ups, sit-ups, jogging and then working on tone legs, back, chest and stomach (in that order) is important.

Don't just work on bench press and neglect your legs or your back. Most of your power will come from your legs.
If you develop your chest too fast, your back will start to cave-in and you could end up pinching a nerve in your chest.

Alternate sets and enjoy your new figure.
