== == Nothing is easy, my friend. If you're an athlete and want to increase your weight, you want to add muscle mass, not fat. So you must train with weights in an anaerobic manner. Fewer reps at higher weight. Here's a good plan that won't have you in the gym for hours every day. Using free weights or Nautilus (or its equivalent) put enough weight on the bar or machine and do reps so that your point of failure is between eight and 12 reps. (Make sure you use a spotter if you're using free weights!) If you do fewer than eight, you put on too much and are risking injury. If you do more than 12, increase the weight the next time -- take a day off -- so that you do fewer reps. Keep increasing the resistance until you fail between eight and 12. Work with that weight -- taking a day off in between -- until you can do 13 or more. Then increase the weight a bit until your failure point is lower than 12. The idea is to do just one set per workout -- every other day -- TO THE POINT OF FAILURE! You must work to the point of failure! I'm not talking about "Wah, wah, wah, it hurts so much I don't wanna do another." I'm talking about pumping until you can't do another rep even if I held a gun to your head and told you I was gonna pull the trigger if you don't do one more. THAT'S what I'm talking about. If you do that for all the major muscle groups, you can get out of the gym in no time and really bulk up.
