I suggest doing big freeweight exercises 3 times a week....

3 sets of 10 reps with 45 sec rest

Mon:
Deep Squats
Chin ups or using pulldown station
Military presses

Wed:
Dips
Rows
Shrugs rising up on your toes

Friday:
Romanian Deadlifts
Incline Bench Press
Pull Ups/ or using cable Pulldown station

Look into eating many smaller meals 5-8 times daily(including healthy snacks)....read up on the healthy foods to eat in the nutrition section...

take fish oil supplement 6-10 g per day...3g morn and 3g night...

good luck
