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