    keep in mind he's 149 pounds, that's alot of work for someone his size. Do any routine on this link http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=115643271 combined with alot of food and you will get bigger!!! I highly recommend starting strength. It is a great program.

    Any results you will see in 6 weeks will be very modest. In 6 months you could begin to see some positive noticeable results in 6 weeks, no.

    As Im so prone to saying on these forums these days - that you're even asking that question shows you aren't ready to make real progress.
    To guys starting out - please understand: when you can deadlift 450lb for 10 reps your back, hamstrings & traps will reflect THAT not which program you used to get there. When you can curl 150 for 10, your biceps will reflect THAT, not which program, rep range or method you used to get there. There is no voodoo independent of poundage progression, just faster and slower ways of getting to your next pit stop.

    Mildly toned? You'll see some visible results with any basic beginner routine (forum sticky) and a very slight calorie deficit. Not a whole lot will hapoen but you'll at least gain a little definition.
    To guys starting out - please understand: when you can deadlift 450lb for 10 reps your back, hamstrings & traps will reflect THAT not which program you used to get there. When you can curl 150 for 10, your biceps will reflect THAT, not which program, rep range or method you used to get there. There is no voodoo independent of poundage progression, just faster and slower ways of getting to your next pit stop.

    6 week program:
    train every mon-wed-fri
    excersises:
    squat
    deadlift
    bench
    seated rows
    arnoldpress
    lat pulldown
    skull crusher
    biceps ez curl
    all these excersises every session

    start with calculating 10repsmax in all excersises
    then:
    week 1:
    15reps 0.65-0.70-0.75
    week 2:
    10reps 0.80-0.85-0.90
    week 3:
    10reps 0.95-1-1.05
    week 4:
    5reps 1-1.05-1.1
    week 5:
    5reps 1.15-1.2-1.25
    week 6:
    5reps 1.3-1.35-1.4

    0.65=0.65% of ure 10reps max
    1=same as ure 10reps max.
    1.1=10reps max+10%
    when calculating the program go on the lower side of the 10reps max lift so you have some extra to work with.

    this progress is possible if you work hard and make sure you eat properly and take ure supps ive been doing this program many times before and the strenght increase over sutch a short periode of time is amazing!

    gl op
    go hard or go home!

    There are already perfectly serviceable (read: simpler & better) beginner routines in the stickies.
    To guys starting out - please understand: when you can deadlift 450lb for 10 reps your back, hamstrings & traps will reflect THAT not which program you used to get there. When you can curl 150 for 10, your biceps will reflect THAT, not which program, rep range or method you used to get there.

    The short answer is you aren't going to get significantly bigger in just 6-8 weeks. That is a very very short amount of time. I would recommend either eating a ton and lifting with a decent amount of volume for the next 6-8 weeks or eat less then you are and at least come out with a decent 6 pack.
