    I guess I have other questions about adding muscle mass to upper body I just need to ask *something*. Need to start somewhere.

    Eat 500 calories a day over maintenance.
    Try to eat as clean as possible.
    train hard. train legs.
    Get in plenty of protein.

    It's funny my triceps I can use the weight machine and lift 100lbs. Bicep machine barely 60lbs. I do not want to bulk legs. I already have bulky legs.
  • Use free weights instead of machines. And never stop working out your legs.

    yeah, squats are a terrible way to build total body muscle...

    deadlifts are bad too. Should probably stick to bench and curl, they work all your upper body

    WHOLE MILK AND EGGS!!!! I can't say how much this has helped me put on weight and increase strength. I eat 6 whole eggs in the morning with my oats and 6 again as a post-workout. Then I drink about half a gallon of whole milk throughout the day.

    As for the other meals, just eat a lot of sweet potatoes, chicken breast, lean beef, brown rice, white rice(post-workout) and oats.

    As for using MFP, it helps track your calorie intake and protein/carbs/fat ratio.
