Start by raising your caloric in take with clean foods, then hit the weights hard. Also fill out your profile and set up a FT program and you will get there. Good Luck - Mike -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

Concentration curls, pretcher curls, 21's are all great excercises but not nessacirly for mass. Barbell curls, skull crushers, bench presses( the most popular) squats, deadlifts, cleans are all compund heavy lifts that build mas. Isolation lifts are done after these, Old saying goes... you need a rock before you can carve a statue. -------------- ---andrew.......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records!
