If you want to bulk up you need to lift heavy weights. The way it goes is that small weights in long repititions will get you strength while maintaining a small body, big weights in small repititions will get you strength but will bulk up as well.

10% lifting
90% diet
it if your having troubl you may not have good genetics and it may take you a loong time to build some mass

if you dont got good genetics for it then you have to force your muscles to grow, its not as easy as picking up a weight doing a few reps till you get tired you have to go beyond that

make sure your giving urself 30 sec rest between rest
and if your not alredy doing so do supersets like for biceps do a normal curl until you cant anymore then go right into hammer curls

you really wont see mass gains until your lifting your own weight

military press, benchpress,pull ups, pull downs, once you start being able to go above your weight in those you will start gaining mass fast
