Ok to gain 20 lbs of mass you have to be very deidcated. It means for you since gaining is hard to eat a lot of protein and other foods. Alos lift as heavy as you can stay in the 6-8 rep range with perfect form. Never ever sacrific form for weight. Good luck and ask anyother questions you may have!

If you want muscle gains you need (complete) protein (eggs, dairy products, soy, meat); and not just one big a$$ steak in the evening you need a constant supply. I eat 8 times a day with protein as a part of every meal (see the post “here is my daily diet” in the nutrition section for my intake on a typical day).
For the weight as mutt says as low reps and as heavy as you can lift with good form. Also stick to the basics, don’t bother with fancy polishing exercises that only work a small fraction of the muscle. Do the simple power exercise, squats, bench press, flys, deadlifts ect. If you can do 15 or 20 chin-ups strap 20kg round your waist next time. Also remember to give recuperation time, if you don’t give AT LEAST 48h rest to a muscle group you won’t get chance the new muscle growth your after.

thank you very much guys!!!, i'm going to do some web research today to try to build my new diet,....i have another questions, i'm trying to follow my routines but it wouldn't make a difference if i change the amount of reps from the ones that i have on the workout?? and i'm just curious when your doing # sets of any exercise should you put more weight in every set or just your 6-8 reps with the same weight???
