    Ok so I am trying to put on some mass, around 15 to 20 more pounds, Im about 5'11 or so, and 183 pounds. I know nutrition is the biggest part to growing, I have been eating tons, every 2 to 2.5 hours, very clean meals, just alot. My current mass lifting routines is one body part a day I do 3 sets of 6 one week, then ill go to 8 the next week and then 10, and then Ill go back to 6 and repeat. I know I need to change it up... Hell this probably is not even a good Mass routine. So I need some input. Please give me some ideas for workouts to build mass, lifts, sets, reps... ect. thank you

    20 rep squat program is gonna put on quite a few pounds in a very short amount of time if you've never tried it before.

    If you're doing a lot of MA training, I would not do 20 rep squats, but if you have a month or two to bulk, you could give it a shot.

    This summer and fall semester sadly I am not doing any mma training I am going from school straight to work... No time, Lifes sucks doesn't it! I do still have time for lifting, and cutting to 55 from 180 was getting to be to troublesome plus I am still filling out I just turned 22 so I want to get to about 190 and fight at 170. But since I can't train until december I would like to try to even get to 200.

    What the hell, 3 routines have been posted. All are good for putting on size, pick the one thats most appropriate for you.

    A program like 5x5 or PPS should work fine. The westside template may also be a good choice.

    I recommend Phase 1 and 2 of CT's beast building program also if you have some lifting experience. It's one of the few programs over at t-nation that focus on mainly strength and HTMU recruitment with "compound" movements and not 31 curl variations:

    Starting Strength, by Mark Rippetoe, is one of the best routines for a beginner. Hell, a lot of advanced lifters could probably benefit from the simplicity.

    I'd recommend giving it a shot. It has you doing the most important lift three times a week, as well as learning the other basic, fundamental lifts like the deadlift, benchpress, press, and row/powerclean.

    wouldn't 5x5 be more for strength than mass?

    Mass gain is going to largely depend on your food intake. Increase nutrient/calories and you'll gain weight as long as you're getting stronger consistently.
