[quote=Anonymous]Check out Caroline Girvan on youtube. I've put on real muscle mass by following her programs. I've also steadily increased the weights I'm using. Started with the dumbells I had on hand (so like 5 and 8lb -- not heavy) but now use her programs at the gym and have purchased heavier weights at home -- I now regularly use 20-40lb dumbells for most exercises. One thing I really like about her programs (I'd start with Iron) is that there is a good balance between full body and targeted training. Like the schedule will have you doing:

Leg Day
Upper Body
Posterior chain
Full body
Abs and Arms

Also the workouts are highly efficient -- I like the 30 minute workouts best and on days I run or bike I do them at the end. But she has 10-15 minute versions that are easy to tack on to something or just do on their own when you don't have much time. She also has some 45-60 minute workouts that are pretty intense but I tend to avoid those because they incorporate cardio and I get that elsewhere -- I just use her for strength training.

She also has an app now but I've had good results with the free content on youtube so I'd start there.[/quote]
