Gaining weight while training Westside

Well I've been trying to put on weight while training Westside. It's going pretty well. I was just wondering about some stuff to see if anyone else had tried it. First was doing all exercises for a 3 rep max instead of a single. I read that this is what Halbert did whenever he was trying to gain weight. Any thoughts?

The other thing was sled dragging. I read Dave Tate say that this has made some of his clients gain 40 pounds in 2 years without doing anything different.

This is what I'm thinking about. I already know to up calories and protein. It's just training that I'm really trying to get figured out. Thanks all.

just eat man!! Thats what i do when i am going up. You knwo me , i go from 250 plus to 220 depending on whats going on!! But you got the right i dea. Weight is weight though. Wether its bodybuilding or powerliftng. And proper training , rest, and food is what gets it done.

Hey man when you get a chance check out my speed work tonight oin a thread i am doing.

I'm with pljay, if your not consuming enough calories your not going to put on weight.
You must eat big to get big.
