    Why do you want to gain muscle mass? Most women are more impressed with abs. Many women are turned off by muscle. If you put on a lot of muscle, people may assume you're not very smart before they talk to you. As you get bigger, people will assume you take steroids even if you don't. You already look pretty defined. I recommend that you continue to eat at a maintenance level and keep working out.

    If you really want to get stronger, try to gradually increase the amount of weight you use. If you're currently doing 8 reps with an exercise try to add 1 or 2 reps a week until you get to 12. When you can do 12, add 5-10 pounds. I don't recommend doing heavy weights and less than 6 reps unless you want to have sore joints when you get older. Change your workouts every 4-6 weeks to keep the workouts fresh. Try super sets, tri-sets, circuit training and body weight exercises.

    Congratulations on getting in shape and I hope you stay in shape.

    Congratulations on posting the dumbest thing I've seen this week on MFP. If I had a trophy, I would give it to you. You bring shame to beer, trolls, and Russes everywhere.

    LOL. I don't even know where to start.
    OP, don't listen to ANY of this.

    You got great responses from most other people in this thread.

    Bump - though feeling like an idiot myself, based on the fact that there are a number of things being mentioned here that I do not follow. And here I thought I was making progress. I guess I need to come back later and do some homework.
