So I'm going to join the high schools football team. How can I bulk up? How long does it take to bulk up by 5 lb of pure muscle?

good for you man! You gonna be playing JV or Varsity? And for your question on how to bulk up, just start lifting weights and start eating, plain and simple. And the amount it takes to gain 5lbs of muscle all depends on how much work you are willing to put in and also how much food you eat. When I was trying to bulk up for my last varsity season this year, it took me about 4 months to get 10lbs of pure muscle mass before my season started, in which I started my bulk at probably last april and our season started in august. But I've been doing football and learning how to bulk up and cut down for a few years now, so for me, I know if I gain 10lbs of weight from eating, if I workout every week for a month, those 10lbs will turn into approximately 3-5lbs of muscle if I stick to my meal plan and my workout schedule. Just remember, my own way will not be the same for you because our bodies are different. It all boils down to trial and error, you gotta find out what works for you and what you are comfortable with.

thats awesome, I joined last year and now I'm starting qb for my school but yeah to bulk up your gonna have to make a meal plan and make sure to include meals with protein. try to get a personal trainer at a gym he would be able to help you. if you have any questions you can as me.
