How to Gain Weight
and Muscle Mass
What You MUST Know to Gain Weight
Do You Have Trouble Gaining Weight? I Did Too...
I could never gain weight no matter what I tried. People
can sure be cruel when you are underweight. Trust me, I
know.
I was desperate, I wanted to get a body that would turn
heads. I tried all of the latest supplements and all of the
new routines in the magazines.
Through the process of elimination, and a lot of trial and
error I discovered a handful of natural techniques that
really work well to help hard gainers pack on muscle
mass.
Applying these methods helped me to gain 20 pounds of
muscle and drastically cut my body fat down to 7 percent.
All in 12 weeks time!
Sick of being small, I craved attention.
Most of my life I had been naturally thin. The fact that
my metabolism was high also didn't help. At 125 pounds, I
was ignored by girls as well as my high school gym class.
I was called everything from "toothpick" to "unhealthy
man." And this was coming from my friends! After awhile,
I didn't like what I saw anymore. I needed a change.
After seeing the ad on television I started using the
Soloflex Muscle Machine. I also tried every supplement that
looked good to me. Products I saw others using or that I
studied in the bodybuilding magazines. From weight gain
powders to amino acids. I wanted to gain weight so bad I
could taste it.
I purchased volumes of "muscle" books and read them all
cover to cover. I followed their advice and workout routines
religiously, no matter how difficult or strange they seemed.
A year and a half later a friend asked me if I still used
my Soloflex... I was devastated. All of this time wasted?
Training this hard day after day and hardly no one noticed?
Would I ever get the hard, defined body I wanted?
Sickened by my current progress I began looking for
answers. A lot of the things I found really surprised me.
But they sure worked! These findings were like a
breath of fresh air. This would be the start of my
incredible transformation.
Obstacles to Weight Gain
We must remember that gaining muscle is an abnormal
condition. We must do things to encourage our skeletal
muscles not only to grow but to stay that way. This
situation is magnified with the hard gainer.
Limiting the amount of calories we burn (even at rest) is
the first major step in the right direction. Most hard
gainers do not pay attention to this at all. Our metabolism
is fast enough as it is, do NOT do things to speed it up
further!
Do not be overly active when you can help it. For
example, I see skinny people all the time playing sports,
doing cardiovascular exercise and worrying all of the time.
These things will only serve to hinder your progress.
For people who can gain weight easier it is much simpler
to overlook such 'minor' details. For hard gainers like us,
these things are not an option.
In other words, for each point you fail to follow you will
only slow down your muscle gains even further. However, for
each one that you do follow, your weight gain will be
that much quicker and faster!
Your body fat is more than likely low enough for now.
It is much better to concentrate on gaining muscle first,
then going on a fat loss program later on. For maximum
results, it has to be either one or the other!
It is a simple matter of being focussed and getting your
priorities straight. This coupled with the proper knowledge
will ensure maximum results.
