Lift heavy as you can , raise your caloric intake ( good calories )probably to 3000 or so...keep the protein level up ...

Supplements are good , long as you can afford them...and take the proper ones.

From what I've read these are the basics..

Here is an interesting eating program, called "massive eating" , I've read about good success with it.

and time is important... it takes ages to build muscle and months to lose...

eat egg whites, fish, chichen, take a protein powder drink. don't eat sweets and chocolate you'll gain fat.
train hard= means smart= means= add one pound or one rep every week to every exercise. train biceps/delts once a week, they are only small, cardio once a week for health the weights 2 times a bodypart max a week and rest alot- sleep on a protein drink and protein an hour before training and after training protein within an hour.
