weight lifting strategies to add muscle

Options
Hi ladies,
I've probably had PCOS my whole life, but was officially diagnosed in 2009. After some horrid trouble with my back, I'm working on getting in shape and losing weight. I am interested add weight lifting to my current exercise routine and was wondering what strategies have worked for others to add muscle. I am currently working out 6 days a week, 3 days eliptical for 50 minutes and 3 days water aerobics class, just being in the water helps my back. Thanks!

    I did Stronglifts. Work out is three times a week, alternating between workout A and workout B. One is squats, bench press and rows, the other is squats, overhead press and dead lifts. You do 5 sets of 5 of each exercise, except dead lifts, with is one set of five.

    This is the work out I do too ...I've had really good success with it in the past and just restarted it this past week.
