I would just like to say how greatful I am of all the help here. I have always tried gaining mass and it has never worked very well. I had been stuck at the same weight and same size arms for about 4 months. School wore me out and I really didnt know what i was doing.
You guys always helped when I had questions and anyone who doesnt believe this site: these people do know what they are talking about.
I went on my own 12 week mass program. I dont us the FT excercise but instead I make my own routines. I choose excercises based on how I feel and what I learn everyday. I have gained 15 pounds and 1 inch in my arms. I have gained some fat as well but I doesnt bother me since I have always been skinny and basketball is coming up so the fat should melt away with all the sprints.
So in 12 weeks i went from 130 to 145. I also drew inspiration from the Arnold Schwarzenegger book I got and recommend it to anyone. I look at it everyday and get ideas as to what excercises to do for each routine.
It took me 1 year to finally understand bodybuilding and I still have so much to learn. but at least I can listen to my body finally and accomplish things I never was able to.

Good for you ! I mean it it is hard to remember that we do not know all there is. That is what I love the most about weightlifting....there is always something else to try.

awwww! ;) I love this site too. The people are great. I learned a lot here. Continuously learning, implementing and experimenting has helped me reach my short term goals. Before you know it those long term goals will be reached, perhaps far exceeding your expectations! Keep it up and let us know. The human body is quite amazing.
