I’m a 44-year-old man. I am 5’8" (173 cm) tall and weigh 135 (61 kg). My body fat is 12%. I’m in good health, except for a small tear in my left rotator cuff.
I want to gain 15 lbs (6.8 kg). I don’t have to achieve this overnight, but I want to progress to that goal weight.
Here is the weightlifting program I’m following. Three days a week:
Day 1
Dumbbell bench press 3 x 8
Rows 3 x 8
Squat 4 x 8
Deadlift 4 x 8
Lunges 4 sets, carrying 30 lbs.
Abs exercises: sit-ups, Russian twist, bicycles
Day 2
Dumbbell bench press 3 x 8
Squat 4 x 8
Deadlift 4 x 8
Box jumps x 2 sets (45 seconds each)
Lat pulls 3 x 15
Abs & back exercises: Russian twist, back hyperextensions, planks
Day 3
Dumbbell bench press 4 x 8
Squat 5 x 5
Deadlift 5 x 5
One mile run
Knee raise 3 sets
Kettle bell squats
I am trying to eat about 2,400 calories a day. Any suggestions? Thank you.
