    advice needed about weight gain

    Hi! ,
    i'm 23 years old and about 5'7 in height and weigh 53 kgs. i play competitive tennis twice a week and have started going to the gym thrice a week since a month. I want to gain weight and bulk up. i have noticed improvements in my biceps and arms. i also take a weight gainer called hornleys muscle mass once a day. i wanted to ask you if 3 days weight training is enough or do i need more. i dont do cardio as i play tennis.i do shoulders and biceps on day 1, back and legs on day 2 and chest on day 3. is this okay?. can you give me some advice on how to gain some weight?.

    Regards

    3 days a week is fine, but your split sucks.

    Gaining weight is easy: eat more.

    FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal track your intake for a few days, run the average. Adjust the distribution of your calories so you get in enough protein and fat (at least a gram of protein and at least half a gram of fat per pound LBM) and increase your calories from whatever they are to an additional 500 calories a day.

    Build a lifting split around the heavy compounds - deads, squats, bench, cleans, weighted chins... and movement patterns rather than bodyparts. You don't need a day for arms - think pulling and pushing movement planes, quad and hip dominant movement patterns.
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.
