Bulking Up (Getting Ripped Before School)

Need some advice from the Ootsters. I'm trying to put on some muscle mass before school starts. I wouldn't mind some fat either - just hopefully more muscle than fat. I'm currently going to the Gym 3 times a week and working the arms mostly.

What supplements should I be taking to further enhance this? Any suggestions or past experiences would be extremely helpful. I'm currently 6'2 150 lbs and would like to try and be 160-165 by the end of the month. Is this unreasonable?

Thanks in advance

You're not going to gain 10-15 lbs of muscle that quickly without steroids. If you work out three times a day you will get much stronger quite fast, but to gain that much weight you need to supplement the body's own growth. Just work on a balanced workout, eat lots and lots and lots of healthy calories, and keep going at it. By the way, people who only work their arms/chest while at the gym are tools.

Stop being the guy that does 8 different arm exercises and then leaves.

Seriously, if you want to add muscle, you need to work something other than your noodly arms. Do squats and cleans, those are the two best exercises in the weight room. Bulking up your legs will add weight, speed your metabolism, and you won't look like a douche in the weight room.

Have you seen Guile? He's got chicken legs but he still manages to pull the ladies like Cammy and Chun Li.

I do workout my chest a little bit - I'm just not concerned with my legs. I've been walking fine for 16 years or so - no need to change them.

What supplements would you suggest? Meal replacement powders? etc

Damn you're skinny. I weigh as much as you and I'm only 5'8, and I'm considered skinny.

Don't work just your arms, you won't put on much weight that way. Not to mention, it'll look odd if you have toned arms and the rest of your body is flab. Increase your protein intake as this will help develope muscle mass. Whey protein shake mix is good for that, as is a good diet of tuna fish or any other high protein food.

I'm not into impressing a bunch of sweaty guys. I'm more concerned with improving my self image and feeling good. I don't work out for other people at the gym.

Start four months ago...

protien and creatine

work out more than 3 times per week, do more than just arms.

check out the forums at bodybuilding.com ... you'll get better/more responses there.

p.s. gaining 15 pounds of muscle in a month is not possible.

I said I didn't mind if some of it was fat either. I just want to look less rail-esque.

I'll start to work out my back and abs and such. Like I said, my legs carry me fine [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

This is a joke right? You're working your arms to put on mass? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
