How to gain muscle pounds?

[Tennis_Monk]

A few months ago i posted this thread , trying to keep my weight but wanted to trim ABS (ie loose some gut).

Here i am now, after some good gym work , i got my ABS and body to where i wanted them from a looks perspective. Unfortunately i dropped quite a few pounds to make it happen.

My game, especially my serve, lacks sting and i firmly believe it is due to me not having enough pounds on me. Please dont ask me why...i have enough cycles of observations on me to know that i serve better when i carry more weight.

All i need is to gain like 6 pounds or so with out losing my shape (mostly the ABS and Chest) and not looking like a body builder.

is it doable ? Or should i take it easy on exercise and have my natural appetite for Carb food, french fries and Pizzas take care of it?

Eat more, heavy/low rep upper body workouts. Be sure to skip days.

I've had good luck using Fred Hahn's slow burn technique for putting on muscle. I've found it to not be as ruff on my joints. And my tennis game has remained pretty much the same.

Here's an article where I learned about it.
