www.WeightGainMethod.com -► Discover How To Gain Weight Fast! In this video I talk about the best way to gain weight. Some guys ask the question, “What is the best way to gain weight, is there a certain supplement I should take… is there a certain food I should eat…? And you can ask these questions independently and get an answer… but the truth is, I always like to tell people, it’s a combination of things. There’s no one supplement that you’re going to take – or even a combination of supplements that’s just going to magically help you gain weight. There’s no one food that’s going to make you gain weight either. It’s going to be a combination your diet, your workout program, and a lot of other little things that go in between. So it really is a combination of things that work synergistically together that help your body put on muscle mass. Let’s talk about some of those things. So obviously you’re going to need to hit the gym. If you want to gain weight, gaining weight means gaining muscle mass, and that means lifting heavy weights. Specifically you want to do compound exercises that involve more than one muscle group. So things like the bench press, squats, stiff legged deadliest, barbell rows, things like that – that involve more than one muscle group is going to stimulate a lot of muscle fiber, increase growth hormone, testosterone, and get your hormones really pumping. So that’s big tip number one, if you’re not already using compound lifts in the gym, focus …

i have noticed a trend among olympic lifters like myself who seem to be experiencing that same effect.your body thrives on the fundamental building blocks of life.increase to 1.75gmsxlb of bodyweight and acjust your carbs for pre and post workout.watch how you feel each day,how you sleep your appetite etc,and go from there.recovery is the key.good luck.

Actually I started improving dramatically when I increased my caloric intake (consists mostly of proteins) and when I started going to the gym 6 times a week

to eat more energy and material than his body is using simply to survive-as remarkable as the human body is,it cannot create tissue from thin air.likewise,no amount of physical activity will cause a reduction in bodyweight if the individual is consuming more food energy than is being used in a givenperiod of time.these things seem obvious,but theyre ignored to a great degree.when evaluating a bodyweight plan,always return to and rely on this fundamental principle to guide your decisions.

the fundemental principle of bodyweight-and the one that is frequently neglected-is the FIRST LAW of THERMODYNAMICS;nether matter nor energy can be created or destroyed.the two can be converted,but there is never any net change in the total quantity.what this means in terms of bodyweight is that weight cannot be reduced without a deficit of energy,and weight cannot be INCREASED without a surplus of enegy.no amount of heavy back squatting will make a skinny kid huge if said skinny kid refuses

and subsequent calculation that the athletes total daily calorie requirements are 3000,that leaves us a gap of 2200 calories to fill.eating veggies and fruit throughout the day may give us about 100g or 400kcals,which narrows the calorie gap to 1800,which we can achieve with 200grams of fat.there should be no need to make a case for hydration here-make it happen.intake recommendations vary dramatically,and recently some have begun to lean toward lower quantities.bodyweight[lbs]0.4= oz/day.

determined for the food in the journal and daily totals can be calculated.this average will be the starting point for daily caloric consumption.since weve made protein the first priotity and defined a clear quantitative guide for its consumption,we can determine the baseline daily protein requirements of the athlete;1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day.so,with a 200lb athletei.e,that gives us 200g or 800kcal of protein.if weve determined through assesment of the food journal

planning nutrition-so how is all of this assembled practically into an actual diet?first we need to know that protein and carbohydrate provide approximately 4kcals per gram of and fat 9kcals..next we need to determine the athletes approximate daily caloric needs.to do this,we can use any number of formulas,none of which are even remarkebly accurate,or we can use a food journal to track food consumption and bodyweight for at least a week.using online or other resources,calorie content can be

or athletes attempting to gain weight,a dose of easily digested protein 10-20 minutes prior to training may create a more anabolic enviroment and encourage greater muscle growth.this should be 20-40 gms of SUPPLEMENTAL whey or egg protein.instead of or in addition to this,athletes may find similiar results from a high dose of a branched hain amino acid supplement.encourage adequate hydration-8-16 oz of water on way to gym.

far too many men have built ENOURMAS levels of muscularsize and strength EVEN though they had small bones or were otherwise prime candidates for the genetic junkpile.the guys who whine and moan about poor genetics are simply lookimg for an excuse.and the writers who cater to them are simply telling them what they want to hear.if you want to make real progress you need to make a concious effort to AVOID negative people.start by avoiding the genetics are everything crowd.leave them behind.

far too much has been written in recent years about genetic limitations.some writers seem to love to tell you that you are doomed to a life of muscleless mediocrity.measure your wrists,they say.if your wrists are less than 7 and 1/2 inches,youll be a midget no matter how hard you try!nothing wrong with being a midget.guys,the worst mistake you can make is listening to any arm-chair academic who tries to tell you that youll never be big and strong because you dont have the right genetics.

hell also be a very well rounded strength athlete if he includes olympic pulling movements,works extra hard on his overhead presses and trains his grip like a fanatic.not too many gyms have guys who are well rounded enough to post good numbers in the bench,squat,and deadlift,and ALSO be able to do things like heavy overhead presses,power cleans and power snatches with impressive weights,bag and barrel lifting and unusual feats of grip strength.this sort of overall balance is worth aiming for.

begins the program,and he might handle weights as light as 50-60lbs in the squay,bench and deadlift.he might not be able to lift a 100lb sandbag,let alone walk with it.what results would i expect after 2-3 years of training on this program?id expect our 145lb trainee to weigh at least 185lbs,all of it solid muscle,and i would expect him to be handling close to 300lbs for 5 reps in the bench,about 350lbs for5 reps in the squat and something like 400lbs in the for 5 reps in the deadlift.

takes a one week lay-off,then trains it again for ten or 12 weeks,rests for a week,then repeats the process a couple of more times.all in all,he trains on the program for 2-3 full years.he works hard,always tries to add weight to the bar,gets plenty of rest and sleep,and shovels downplenty of good,SOLID FOOD-steaks,chops,potatoes,rice,pasta,ground beef,turkey,ckicken,fish,fresh green vegetables,fresh fruits,bread,cheese and milk.our hypothetical trainee might weigh 145lbs at 5ft,9 inches when he

try this;day one;squat-4×5,standing push press-4×5,barbell row-4×5,farmers walk-2x max distance,auxillary work i.e.neck,biceps calves. day two;deadlifts-4×5,power cleans-4×5,bottom position bench with 2 inch bar-4×5,sandbag walk-2x max distance.sound simple ?thats because it is.hard- try it! is this program too simple to work? wouldnt a more complicated scientific program produce better results?well,consider this.lets assume we have a guy who trains on this program for ten or 12 weeks

@jsp5162 Whey protein if you don’t already. also if you do increase protein intake with your calories and lift heavier with spotters. You can also do a bulking stage followed by a cutting stage where you just put on a good 20 or so pounds of muscle then just follow it up with a cutting plan to look more lean. A supplement called “serious mass” will help do that though it’s got an awful taste. it’s what I describe above.

@majid123abc If you can go to the gym that would help. depending on what back injury you have you can work to strengthen the muscle groups to help prevent future injuries. my suggestion is, if you don’t know what’s wrong, see a doctor. If you do, research yourself exercises to strengthen the muscle. If you can every get into lifting. Maintain proper form to prevent anymore damage and doing squats make sure your back is capable supporting the load and doing dead lift always lift with legs.

@GXPSolstice Always have a partner. This will Push you to lift heavier. Heres what i can do. Also Over working the front of the shoulder and neglecting the rear deltoids can cause shoulder problems.
Dumbell curl: 40lbs
Benchpress: I rep 195 8 times.
straightbar curl: 85lbs
Tricep extension: 45lb plate one arm at a time.
Also Just a last tip guys. doing each arm one at a time like dumbell curl as appose to straight bar curl, enables each arm to output the maximum effort without having help.

Supplements, workout routine, and a steady diet, is what will make you gain weight.
I’m 132lbs. I started at 105. I workout 6 days a week.
I take whey protein twice a day and just got mass gaining supplement (which is just a 1640 calorie drink with 250ish carbs and 75g protein.)
I workout this much because I do certain muscle groups each day with a one day break.
PROTEIN: your body usually needs 1.5-2 grams of protein for each pound of weight.
CARBS: This is what gives you energy.

@majid123abc i recommend lots of exercise to prevent a bad back. inactivity is the worst thing for your back. i had a similar experience and a similar frame to you and growing up having bad backs, but now in my 30s i dont get it anymore and i put it own to developing strong core muscles. this is vital for maintaining a healthy body and posture.

@majid123abc make sure you get 8 hours sleep a day, don’t do an exercise if it hurts or you are sore. Wait until you feel good again. And don’t eat in a few large portions a day and get bloated, try to spread what u eat in a day out. And eat even when ur not hungry, like a snack or something, fruit and nuts are great. Try to take your diet, your exercise and rest in moderation and you will slowly gain weight. If not, increase everything a little bit.
