Just buy protein and powders like that. Also, watch your diet

Anyhoo, limit yourself to 4 days a week, 2 on, 1 off and repeat, and go low rep, high weight, and eat a ton of protein. Like, 3000 calories a day max.

If you work out too much, your body becomes accustomed to the work and becomes more efficient. If you give yourself a day in between workout sets to recover and bulk up you'll see more gains. Also, stretching in between sets helps too.

It depends on what kind of muscle you want to build. JayDope started a fitness cult, you should look in there cus there is some good info. But, in general, if you want to get built (not really good for skiing...) then you want to do high weight low rep, if you want to get fit, and have skinnier more flexible muscles than low weight high rep.

another thing about leaving a day in between is that it gives you time for your muscles to rebuild. When you lift you break down muscle fibers and if you dont give them a chance to rebuild (which they come back larger and stronger when they do recover) then you will never see any big improvements. I can see a huge difference once i start concentrating on lifting after ski season in like 3 weeks, mostly just because of knowing how and when to lift and eat

This. Getting built definitely isn't the best for riding but it would hurt to switch it up from time to time. Maybe 2 weeks High rep, Low weight then vise versa. I've learned the best way to prevent injury is to lift. It will get rid of those nagging pains from previous injuries also.

Low rep high weight. 80% of your 1 rep max, 3 sets, 6-8 reps max. Be explosive, maximum recruitment of muscle fibers. You should be sore the next day, as it is this micro tears that repair themselves with new muscle, thus building. High rep low weight promotes muscle efficiency and stamina, burns fat and tones. To build, you need to be lifting heavy.
