Put On Weight: Exercising

Gain Weight Fast: Train Hard But Smart

Going to the gym everyday won’t get you muscles if you don’t know what you are doing.  Too many guys go to the gym and spend more than enough time playing with weights instead of putting in work and then they wonder why they don’t see results.

 Put On Weight: ExercisingWhen you start gaining weight fast and don’t exercise it’s all going to turn into fat, then you are going to be looking for help on trying to lose weight and get lean.  So let’s kill 2 birds with one stone here, gain weight and build muscle at the same time.   The key to building muscle is to work the muscles hard and not long, too much exercise and incorrect technique can not only harm your muscles temporarily but also permanently damage your muscles.  Plus injury will cause you to lose valuable time away from your workouts.

In Order To Put On Weight Your Muscles Need Rest

You should limit your strength training to 3 times a week because this will give the muscles a good workout for the week but will also give you a chance to rest which is just as important.  Your muscles grow when your body is resting not during the workout.  During the workout your muscles get damaged enough that when they are provided with the right amount of protein and some rest they go in to repair mode, therefore rebuilding the muscle fibers stronger and bigger.

That’s why you have to list heavier weight each time that you feel your muscles adapting and not getting any real workout.  When learning how to put on weight you definitely want to limit activities like running, walking and jogging to a few times a week because too much cardio will burn off a lot of the calories that you need for mass gain.

Change and Diversity: A Major factor in Learning How To Put On Weight

Another important point to keep in the back of your mind is that you have to do a variety of exercises if you want the best results.  Like most people, you will hit a plateau after a few weeks.  Initially you will put on weight rapidly then your body will stop responding to exercise or will respond minimally.  When you incorporate a variety of exercises in your training regimen at least every 4 weeks your body will consistently keep changing; adding size and muscle.

You should also make sure that you get a full body workout for the best results.  There’s nothing more weird than seeing a guy with a buff upper body and chicken legs because he neglected to workout them out just as hard as the biceps or chest.  If you can’t afford a gym membership there are several exercises that you could start doing at home today, all it takes is taking the first step and staying on track.

How To Put On Weight | Where To Begin

How To Put On Weight: What you Need To Know

So let’s get in to the interesting part about what you need to do in order to learn how to put on weight.  Well to keep it plain and simple you have to eat like there’s no tomorrow.  Hardgainers have a high metabolism so we need to eat more and often, to level the playing field.  You have to bombard your body with high protein/high calorie foods so that it has no choice but to blow up.

On the other hand following the right diet and exercise plan are key factors to help your weight gain goals.  One without the other will not do you any good.  The good thing about being skinny is that you have a blank slate to work with.  So when you take in more calories that you burn off in a day and exercise, you will not only pack on pounds but build muscle mass; which I am sure everyone eventually wants to accomplish.

How To Put On Weight:Foods To Put On Weight

 How To Put On Weight | Where To BeginThere is nothing more important than  loading your body with high calorie protein foods.  Now…don’t get confused  here, I am not talking about shoving a dozen donuts in your face everyday, choosing the right foods is the key.  The amount of calories you should take in depends on your height because naturally if you are 6’2 you will likely need to take in a lot more calories than someone who is 5’2.  Your BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate is your daily calorie count needed to maintain your current weight.  So why does BMR matter?  Well if you can eat more than you are currently eating then you should start to see some increase in size.  CLICK HERE to check out a sample meal plan.

Most people usually give up the first week of trying to make changes because they overwhelm themselves with how much food they need to eat and how hard it will be to gain that 40 pounds or what ever the amount that you are aiming for.  You have to start off by increasing you meal frequency to 5 or 6 meals a day.  Incorporate a protein shake or two in to the mix and you will start to put on weight within the first two weeks especially if you are hitting the weights with all you got.

Avoid eating junk foods as much as you can, instead focus on eating lean meets like beef and chicken breast as well as veggies and nuts to balance your nutrition.  If you substitute peanuts for a donut you will do yourself some good with your protein intake and will avoid putting on unwanted fat.
