I usually let myself gain a little bit of weight over the winter since its freezing out (Brooklyn), and it is a good time to try to put on some size. The one thing I have learned is that I HAVE to do some type of cardio year round for me to stay relatively cut. This is my current routine:

Monday: Chest/forearms/ 3 miles outside 6-730 pace
Tuesday: Back/ 3 miles outside/ abs
Weds: Rest
Thursday: Arms/ 3 miles outside/abs
Friday: Shoulders/ 3 miles outside/ abs
Saturday: 3-5 mile outside
Sunday: Rest

I don't take any supplements because they always make me fat, but I consume eggs like a champ. I am 5'8, and I just weighed in 5 minutes ago at 160lbs. Power out!

If it wasn't for the running, I would have thought you were the forums first double amputee. Throw some squats (free weight, below parallel) in there man.

Doing a 3x5 now, probably gonna change to a 5x5 for some more volume.

Awe man. I could use a work out buddy for some extra motivation for sure. The winters kinda kill me.
I'm just whining here ....but I don't wanna do anything cause it's cold. And the holidays are all about eating.

Think about it this way: because there's so much delicious food around you can eat more workout harder and put on some mass.
