How do you build muscle and keep it on?

I lift 30 pound dumbbells (comfortable weight for me not too light, not too heavy) and see moderate results since I've been at it for a few years. The only thing is that I want considerably larger muscles. Do you have to eat a lot? I don't want to get obese or anything but I want muscle at the same time. Please just give me simple answers and don't give me your whole fitness routine hehe.

Just get penis enlargement surgery, your lust for large muscles will then expire.

Have your diet consinst of protein. You probably need to be a higher weight than you are now.

I like 120lbs and 5'7" and I have the hardest time gaining weight, I hate it. I guess it's my body type and my motabolism.

Don't eat junk food, it'll just make you fatter or cause health problems in the future.

Keep increasing the weight that you lift.

Eat enough to provide your body with the necessary materials it needs to grow.

Be consistant in your routine.

If your an adult I would argue it's difficult to gain any significant mass without chemical help.

Cool it buddy. First of all I'm not the strongest guy around, 30 seems like my limit right now and I'm 18. I'm asking for help because I want to go up to 50 atleast. And in response to a previous post, I do work out the triceps, forearms, back, shoulders, etc.

Honestly I haven't created a solid workout plan. i sort of just winged it and worked out certain muscle groups on and off. i was thinking of this, how would this work out (no pun intended):

Fri- Chest+triceps

Sat- biceps+shoulder

Sun- back

Mon- legs

Tues- Chest+triceps

Wed, Thurs- nuthin

That is a really good plan i must admit, but how long do you exercise for each day? For someone your age it should be atleast 1-1.5 hours.

Being completely honest, not much. I think that's the main problem here along with the fact that I never built a solid routine to go off of. I pretty much worked various parts of my body whenever I had time. But I'm going to start using my routine and focus on lower reps and heavier weights. I think that on each day, if I train the muscle group properly, it should amount to about 1-1.5 hours of exercise. I think that on Wednesday and Thursday Im just gonna chill on the elliptical machine hehe.

Lol, is it really that hard? My biceps are average I'd say but I could comfortably do a few sets of 30 lbs weight without sacrificing form. I have friends who could do 45 already and they have a much smaller frame than me.

ok assuming you are serious,

Is all you have available is 30lb dumbells?

Also do not, i repeat do not workout for 1-1.5 hours even at your age, after 1 hour of workout your muscles and system will start to burn out and you will be doing more harm than good as your muscles will be breaking down and trying to rebuild while your still working out and this will just have a negative effect on growth.

yup, all i have at my house are a pair of 30lb dumbbells along with a 20lb set and 10lb set I used to use when I was younger.. Good to know, I'll definitely avoid working out that long then.
