I have some work to do before doing some modification of my routine but, I really like all exercice that I am doing. I want to include Squat to.
So I think I'll base myself on Legion routine for the quantity of exercices and might use my exercice, or maybe his exercices.
I'll be back after work,

How much weight you gain is a factor of how much you eat.
How much of that is muscle is a factor of your training.
As long as you're eating to gain 15 pounds, you'll gain 15 pounds whether you train or not. If you pick a good program, most of that will be muscle.
I'd say under optimal conditions you could expect maybe 10-15 pounds of muscle in that timeframe, so your goal is reasonable. I really do think you should be working a plan with higher frequency and lower volume, though.
I recommend DC or HST.

I didn't know about HST but I found some thread on it and the main website (http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/).
What I do not understand is that HST work all bodypart 3 time weeks and do not give 48 hours to repair and grow like 5x5.
For DC well, it's more like HST. You split all body part in 2 and you do 3/4 workout each week. With DC you do more rep that HST.
Well, I do not like DC cause they have to much rep and I think low rep with hight weight is better to grow. What I do not like in HST is that you do all body part in 1 workout... and what I do not like in 5x5 is that I do only once by week each body part.
So I am confusing, but I think I prefer 5x5 with a mix of HST...
Do I understand well each training style?

hey man i would say cut volume to a little bit and eat eat eat. i started in jan with my goal i was 169.5 pounds i am now 190 pounds. my bodyfat is still between 10-11% u know calipers arnt perfect. i just did the normal 5x5 do 5x5 on big stuff like bench squat dead barbell curl stuff like that then i did 2x10 for the accesory stuff. and i only did 2 accesorie exrecises for each body part. some i only did one like my biceps and tris and the small muscles. in the first six weeks i gained up to 186.5 in the paast 4 weeks my gains slowed way down. most of my gains were inmy back and legs from squats and deadlifts they are a must.
http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=210999 that is my progress in the first 6 weeks how much my body grew in inches all over and how much weigghts went up. i may have just got beginners luck but all i can say is 5x5 low volume with tons of food will get the job done at least it did for me. i never counted carbs or protein or naything i just ate. best of luck to you if you want it i am sure you can get there if u follow the basics.

Would you mind clarifying? HST indeed has you work each muscle 3x/week. That provides 48 hours of rest after two of the workouts and 72 hours after the third. I've found that to be plenty.
If you don't like doing everything at once, you can even go six times a week and do some kind of split, say upper/lower. As long as the frequency is there.
I'm not sure a mishmash of those routines would be all that effective. HST/DC are both effective because of the frequent workouts and progressive loading. So you don't want to work 3x a week, but nor do you want to do 1x. What exactly do you want?
