Johnny Boy asked:
I have a pretty decent workout. I do chest/triceps on mon, back/biceps on wed, shoulders/legs on fri. Is that a good workout plan? I am trying to bulk up and add some weight on. Would it be bad instead of doing it 3 days a week to move it to 6 days a week? Is that too much? I just need some help on putting some weight on.

Whenever I hear a weight trainer say that he or she isn’t gaining weight, I think 3 things:
1. Eat more
2. Exercise less
3. Sleep more
It’s really that simple, at least in concept. But as one of my MBA professors liked to say, “It’s all in the execution!”
So, how do you execute these 3 “simple” things, especially if you work full-time, have a family, go to school, care for your ailing parents, etc.?
You make it happen! Stay tuned for a related post that I’ll write especially addressing this very topic.
But to answer more specifically this user’s query, I will say that he should cut down his workouts to 3 days a week, focus on the thighs, lats, pecs, and shoulder work, eat A LOT more protein-rich calories, and get plenty of sleep.
That’s the “Do” part. Next comes the “How.”
(By the way, it’s ALL covered in The Hardgainer’s Manifesto.)
