Help me gain weight

[Kuma]

I was doing everything at 8-10 for hypertrophy but recently been doing 6-8 because I have been seeing more results. 20-30 sec rest times. maybe a little less. already do squats and deadlifts.

I'd try even lower reps, the heavier weight you use the more capacity for growth you get. This way too you get real usable muscle, not inflated powder-puff muscles. Ultimately it's up to you but a lot of people, myself included, have done well on 5 sets of 5 reps.

Heavy high-rep squatting is also a great way to quickly outgrow your clothes. I added over 20 pounds in less than two months doing 20-rep squats twice a week.

With either reps for hypertrophy (your 6- or reps for max strength (3-5) you'll want to take a longer rest between sets. 3 to 5 minutes so you're starting with loaded guns each time. For hypertrophy you'll look to work each set to failure. For strength you'll shoot for straight sets to target (eg as suggested, 5).

Jugs of it.

You getting a good 3 or 400 calories in you right after your workout? That's WAY important.

Once you DO hit your target weight make a point of capping it off with a round of pure strength work followed by several weeks of plyometrics and other power work. You earn the size you may as well cash in on it.

I hear that the gomad system is actually quite dangerous..

It's only supposed to be for a couple months. What would make it dangerous?

Maybe only to your bank balance.

Seriously though you do only do it for about 3 weeks. Some people have been doing this for years. Its only a few extra calroies for the short term its not a long term thing which is where problems would occur. Its also obviously not advisable if you are lactose intolerant but that would be stupid.
