Considering all of the running you guys do, you'll need to pull in lots of cals to gain mass. Much, much More than the average 20 yr old.

I have news for you...The two best mass building exercises are Deadlifts and Squats. Both have major emphasis on wheels....and both will help increase your overall body mass. DONT sell yourself short on these. You will not reach your growth potential without them. I promise.

Other supps to consider: Fish oil, Multis (the gainer youre using has creatine but you should consider buying it in bulk online)

Pick up some olive oil or coconut oil. put 1-2 tbs into your shakes. Peanut butter is your friend by the way. Big cals = big gains.

Your routine, It sucks! A day dedicated to abs? lol come on. vanity and mass do not go hand in hand. Focus on bulking. You'll hit abs/core when you squat.

Shoulders/Bis
Chest/tris
Back/Legs

^ much more solid routine than what you proposed.




Now go eat something. Preferably with LOTS of saturated fat in it.

Sage advice, stick to the basics: Squats, Deads ect watch your body grow. Think about the cell division that starts happening when you hit major muscle groups and multi-joint compound movents as opposed to doing forearm curls...... its a no brainer.

But thats why your here, dont be afraid to admit your clueless to this game and your jar head will be filled with new knowledge devil dog.

Thanks for the comments guys. And I took your advice about the routine. I started one today set up the way you said. We will see what happens. Again, thanks guys.

I was out there this summer for mojave viper and spent some time in San Diego. It was nice there. Don't tempt me on the dinner and getting drunk. I'll be down to spend the night in the gas lamp. Lol.
