If you want to adhere to minimalistic yet simplistic colour scheme then diet Pepsi and cucumber are honestly the gods of building a strong frame and serious mass.
Ignore the haters man, they'll only try and put you down and not let you realise the potential you really have. Try to start with 3/4 cucumbers a day and a bottle of diet Pepsi and let me know how it goes.
I'm here for anymore advice if you need it mate, good luck!!
Ah, trolling thread. Got it.
More like an anti drug commercial.0 -

Thanks for the serious response. I lift heavy 5-6 times a week for around an hour in a fairly well equipped gym. I was purely wondering what training regime/split was the most effective for building mass.

Then you need to look at your calorie intake to gain mass.
500 extra calories a day should do it. A P&J sandwich and a big glass of full fat milk should do it.
It's as simple as that, as long as you're eating at maintenance to start and not burning off your calories with cardio.0 -
Stronglifts or some variation of 5x5 (Google it), creatine (do it), chocolate milk, protein shakes, Mass gainer, sprints
I like to shoot for macros based on my desired weight0 -

I'm looking more for advice on training regime/splits rather than nutrition. However, thanks for your help.

A calorie surplus and a progressive load training program is all you need.0

Stronglifts and variations will concentrate on compound lifts, press, squat, deadlift, rows, pull-ups. You want to be concentrating on these movements, very little if any isolation work like bicep curls.
If you're doing any steady state running, would cut that out for now. Things like hill sprints (regular sprints), sled pulling/pushing, loaded carries, battling ropes, etc on a limited basis aren't bad.

Thanks for the advice lads. Just to confirm, a progressive load training program is where you consistently increase weight?

Typically, although there are programs that increase resistance by adding reps. Most beginner programs I've seen add weight though. As previously mentioned: stronglifts, starting strength, ICF 5x5, all are good progressive beginner programs.0 -

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Correct me if I'm wrong, but after taking everything into consideration and analysing the situation fully a number of times, I don't believe ANYONE was asking you for your opinion. Bore me later with your jokes.
