I want to get wider with muscles

[yaganon]

I'm more muscular than average, but my 6'1 height and the lack of fat cells negates that, so I look like a twig.

I've been lifting on and off all my life, with little results. It's probably because I don't have the genes, and that I use to run cross country and track. I also do a lot of other sports that require a lot of aerobics and sprinting.

I need tips (or even better, specific workouts) that can help me get more muscles above my waist, while not compromising my agility and speed on the fields.

thanks


P.S. I read that Olympic weightlifters build up by working only once or twice every two weeks. They go all out one day, and take 1-2 weeks to recover, since recovery is when you actually build muscles. Is this a more effective muscle building process than to workout everyday or every other day??

edit: You sound like a beginner don't do the programs Olympic builders are doing, theres a lot of nuances and particulars you miss and you could potential injure yourself. Work your way up. Just dont start copying the guys who are advanced

Sounds like a classic case of undereating

You need to continuously gain 1-2% of your bodyweight per month - this is how your muscles grow. As for the weight training, choose a program from the sticky threads.
