Keep your muscle in constant shock so never follow a routine too long. For better advice check out the information provided by this website. They got some cool info...

Try to enjoy what you do and always push yourself to be better than yesterday. Make all your reps count, and usually make your last set a set to failure. good luck!

Supplements will help you as well, but its also what else you eat that’s most important....Then for weights you have to use low reps with heavy weights then change up with the opposite, low weight high reps witch is good for getting cut, and it helps keep your muscles in shock like the other RE: said. you should change your routine every once and a while. Well that’s what I think.

I have a very fast metabolism and I cant keep my weight up for long no matter how much I eat

Do more than that and it becomes aerobic do less and it becames strength training (always do 4 sets per exercise and about 3-4 exercises per body part) Rob
