i work out every other day, so about 3.5 times a week. I do chest/becips, then legs, then triceps/back/shoulders.
I used to run on the offdays, but now I don't even do that...I just make sure I don't lie around on off days. As a college student, I don't really have to worry about not being active, and it's the same for high schoolers (walking around classes and stuff keeps you active enough for a nonworkout day)
my weight gain has been primarily mass. I would say 90% mass, maybe even more. The key is to take advantage of your age bracket and the fact that you're a beginner in relative terms.
The guy who helped me create my workout is a good friend of mine, and he told me to go with 5K calories. I though it was crazy, but right now I don't think he was far off.
Also, I would like to let you know that the composition of the weight gain depends on what you eat. If you eat sugars and bad fats, then you won't be gaining 90% mass. Protein bars have sugar/sugar alcohols, , and weight gainers have sugars as well.
so. i would say ditch the protein bars (if you already bought them, don't worry, but don't continue). My main foods are chicken, lean red meat, cereal, milk, whole wheat stuff, whey protein, eggs, flax oil, almonds, cottage cheese, and peanut butter, honey, fruits. This is not an exclusive list, but these are the foods you want to take in.
