Keep your weights heavy and concentrate on compound movements. You can include isolation movements but concentrate on compound movements. For ex: Compound Movements: Bench Press - Chest Squats - Thighs Shoulder press or Military press - Shoulders Dead lifts - Hamstrings Barbell curls - Biceps Tricep curls - Triceps Isolation Movements: Cable cross overs - chest Leg extension - Thighs Dumbbell Lateral raises - Shoulders Leg curls - Hamstrings Concentration curls - Biceps Triceps pulley push down - Triceps Do 4 - 6 sets in each exercise. Start the first set with light - medium weight and progressively increase weights on subsequent sets. Go as heavy as possible but remember to be in good form. Avoid jerking or cheating. Eat properly. Eat a lot of protein and calories if you want to put on mass and weight. Split up the body parts 2 parts per day so that you can workout each part twice a week. Ensure sufficient rest between workout days for the same part. For ex: Monday and Thursday - Chest and Triceps Tuesday and Friday - Shoulders, Lats and Biceps Wednesday and Saturday - Legs and Abdomen Sunday - Rest
