These sound like personal decisions you need to make about your body. Lee Priest is about your height and weighs in around 230 I believe. Of course, he is an Olympia bodybuilder. If your goal is pure mass without the corresponding bodybuilding look of cut muscularity, just keep gaining. If your goal is to be a "bodybuilder," I would suggest maintaining a bodyfat percentage of 8-12% while putting on mass. I have lost 20+lbs since April and have improved my bench by 40+lbs. Strength/mass and low bodyfat can be obtained at the same time with proper diet and training.

sean,

at 18 years of age.. you are seem ready for heavy lifting. At the height of 5'6" a good weight for you with a muscular build would be 160-170.. at a bf& of 8-10%.

I would suggest a mass & basic training program. I recommend the 12 week mass program here on ft.

In terms of diet.. eat atleast 4 meals a day - better to have 6. Eat plenty of protein.

You may supplement your diet with Creating & Glutamine.

Good Luck.

sorry I can't really help you with bodybuilding much :(.. I'm more into a good combination of speed and strength.

Still, if you follow your workout program and diet honestly, in 6 months you should be able to gain 20 pounds of pure muscle in 6 months
