    I'm working on this too. I've upped my calorie and protein goals and keeping with CrossFit. I gained almost a pound and a half of lean muscle last month so it must be working, just trying to keep it up!

    Good luck!

    1. Lift Heavy
    2. Eat over maintenance (At least 35% protein)
    3. Get enough sleep
    4. Drink lots of water.

    Lfit heavy, cut down on your cardio, eat 500-600 calories above maint., eat atleast 1 gr. of protein for every lb. of body weight.

    Well you're a boy so it should be easier but all I did was try to eat more and consume the right amount of protein and lift heavier (fewer reps). And sleep and rest to repair =)
