The Idea

So, I have been trying to gain weight and get that "muscular" look for quite some time now. I've made some progress by consuming more food/protein each day. Before I started working out, I weighed about 141-143. Currently, I am at 155 lbs. I've plateaued. I can't seem to gain any more weight or look any "bigger". What am I gonna do? Well, I'm just gonna start a new regimen.

More food, more protein, and a different workout schedule. I'm going to attempt to gain 10 lbs over the course of 30 days. I will post each and every day's "menu" and what exactly I worked out.

Let's see what happens!
