3x a week is fine. Just make sure your doing big compound movements like Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Pull Ups, dips etc. etc. etc. and start getting some food down your neck. |

Depends on the level of intensity. The higher the intensity the more days you'll need in-between workouts. If your up for something that works give this method an honest try http://www.amazon.com/Max-Contraction-T ... 942&sr=8-1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_OJdeWacFo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-6T_-QL ... re=related |

"Work in a given unite of time!" Ideal intensity for growth is momentary muscular failure in either positively. negatively or statically range or a combination of the three, with a TUL (time under load) in the anaerobic range less than 30 seconds (although thats debatable). |

I'm glad there is a fitness section i actually know my stuff on this. 3 Days a week is fine for mass. Fist find out your daily calorie intake: then go 500 calories above daily calorie intake. Its not so much how much you lift you will never get big without a proper diet so if your actually dedicated and want this you have to eat enough not just workout. Also, try to get in 1g of protein per body weight. Marcos should be aound 40% protein/40% carbs/ 20% fats. keep in mind fats don't make u fat. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm Like Mephistopheles said do big compound lifts. Usually a 3 day split would be for example would be Schedule mon - push (chest,shoulders,tris) wed - legs fri - pull (back,bis) "push" bench press, shoulder press, dips, triceps extensions "Legs" squats,lunges, leg press, calf rise "Pull" deadlifts, barbell row, bicep curl, pull ups rep range should be from 8-10 rest from 1 - 3 mins usually 3 on the bigger lifts |
