Ok so my question is this. I am trying to gain some weight about 10-15 lbs. I am also trying to gain strength as well. I was thinking of a program like this. One week you do sets of like 10-8-6-4 reps. The next week you do the same exercises but instead of the last weeks reps you do 8-6-4-2 one small muscles and 5-4-3-2 on big muscles. What does this sound like? Good or bad? I just am not sure. And then like 2 months later i was thinking of switching the exercises up and doing the same thing. Should i do this or just bulk for 2 months straight doing low reps and then go back to regular workout. I just dont want to lose my strength, I have max goals for this year coming up. Please comment.

After a certain point 60%-80% of your strength gains results not from the program you use but from the amount of protein and clean(healthy) calories you intake. Meaning, go to the store buy some chicken breasts and eat a breast 3 times a day. Drink one or two protein shakes a day. And for your 5th-6th meal eat some more protein. Basically get 160 grams of protein split into 5-6 meals. Now, some people have liver problems if you are one of them, consult someone who specializes in physical health.
For strength, I recommend you just stay in low rep range (5) and more sets (5), with longer brakes in between around 4+ minutes. The other thing is to not lift excessively outside the three main lifts, but do plenty of supportive muscle training by staying in high rep range mid range weight 8+ reps 2 sets.
and creatine if you want to, but do it properly (load/maintain/deload program here someplace)
amm, I think that is all I can remember at the moment.
