Best way to put on size quickly?

Height, weight and age?

Eat.

Strength isn't really an issue. I can bench one max rep of 275 pounds. I can shoulder press 70 pound dumbbells.

Probably need to lift heavier

Are you hitting muscle groups once or twice a week? I didn’t realize I needed twice a week.

It's simple, eat more. Start with 500 calorie surplus, 1g protein per 1 lb of bodyweight. At some point (after a long bulk) I would do a short cut and get rid of some fluff. As far as the program, do something that is progressive overload. You aren't weak, so what you're doing is probably working, you are just at the point that diet is going to take you to the next level. Natural lifters aren't going to stay at 185lbs and progress to monsters.

Reese's cups always do it for me after Halloween.

Agree with others... Higher reps in the sets. 8-12 reps coming within a rep. Or 2 of failure. Train the muscles you are trying to grow the most 2 to 3 times a week.

Take whatever you've been doing and do the opposite. If you've been primarily focusing in the 1-4 rep range for strength, switch to 8-12 rep range. Same goes for exercise selection.. Have you been doing primarily bi-lateral movements under a barbell or uni-lateral movements with dumbbells? Switch it up. You should try to phase your workouts every couple of months at most to change your training stimulus. You don't need to 'work harder' or hammer yourself.

How much are you eating? Are you tracking your calories and how your weight moves as you eat more/less? Depending on how you've been eating, your body may need more calories to not even be under constant stress - and then you need to give it even more to build muscle.

In my head I meant that he should train in the higher rep ranges for hypertrophy, but I was being lazy and just wrote 'do more work'. Whatever.
