    heavy weights, 8-10 reps (you MUST be struggling for 8, 9 and 10), and protein!

    To build muscle, you need to eat slightly over your maintenance calories (250-350 kc add'l, maybe), lift heavy things often, rest periodically, and eat adequate protein.

    I suggest you read New Rules of Lifting - http://www.thenewrulesoflifting.com/

    Also, this site is very helpful in learning about your muscles and how to build them - http://www.exrx.net/index.html

    Yup, 8-10 reps of near max weight for size, 12 -15 reps less weight for tone (according to Tony Horton of P90X fame)
