going up in weight (how to 2 do it)

[piano man]

my present weight is 176 and i need to put up some extra pounds to be like 182-185 . my question in what should i eat, how many times daily, should i be runing less miles or not run at all, what kind of strenght exercises i need to be doing in the gym etc. Any thoughts would be apreciated

same as what your doing now just up the protein a little bit because u want the weight to be muscle. do squats, lunges, deadlifts, weighted situps, barbell and dumbbell bench press, pullups(weighted if you can), rows. you want to spread the weight uniformly around your body. you could just gain it in the legs to help add more power to your punches but it would seem a lot better and faster to put on the muscle if you tear up a larger amount of muscle groups as apposed to just a few so that when they repair and grow you gain faster muscle weight.

Eat alot of protein. Walnuts, lean red meat, lean white meat, fish. Eat starches; rice, potatoes. Then shift your cardio-weights ratio from 70%-30% to 40%-60%. Thus you will increase muscle mass and gain weight without fat. Since you are still doing cardio, you wont build useless bulk muscle. So no hinderence to your boxing performance.

• 100% whey Protein
• Creatine
• Glutamine
• NO (Nitric Oxide)
• Amino Acids

These will also aid you in gaining muscle. Or you can just eat junk food and get fat. Remember, fat doesn't turn into muscle though.
