To overweight people, you are considered lucky for not being able to gain weight. Is that true? You know that deep inside you, you want to be buffed and not skinny as you are right now, isn't it?
You may have tried many things to increase your weight such as eating as much as you can or God forbid, stuffing in junk foods as often as you can so that you can gain some body fat although you know that too much body fat can be unhealthy, but you don't care because you desperately want to put on weight.
Now then, if you want to increase your weight, then why not make those weight your muscle mass instead of body fat? More muscles not only make you look better and feel better, it can also make you much healthier. Furthermore, for a hardgainer like you, when you put on muscles, they won't be covered in fat and your muscle definition will be much clearer making your body very aesthetically attractive. Isn't that a better way to gain weight?
So go and get a gym membership and if you can afford it, hire a professional personal trainer to guide you along to get results more quickly and safely. If hiring a good gym instructor is beyond your reach, then here are some ways to achieve your desirable muscular weight.
When you workout with weights, perform the exercises that involve more joint movements. The more joints that are involved in the exercise, the more muscle groups are being activated. The more muscle groups being activated will mean that you are working out more body parts. In other words, we are looking at overall body development to achieve more efficient results.
Single joint movements such as dumbbell curls or tricep extension work on your smaller muscles like your biceps and triceps and will not make your body grow and develop entire body muscle mass. Performing these isolated exercises thus will not have much effect on your weight gain goals. So go for chin ups, pull ups, dead lifts, squats, bench presses and weighted push ups. Remember to do those exercises in their correct forms to get maximum results as well as keeping safety in mind.
Workout 3-4 times a week and do have rest days in between for your body to recover from each session. Take protein or weight gain supplement before and after each training session to enhance your workouts and to feed your muscles well in order for them to grow effectively. Remember to eat well too. Have well balanced meals more regularly and increase your protein intake.
Before you retire for the night, have a scoop of casein protein shake. Casein protein is a slow release protein formula that feeds your muscle when you sleep. Your muscle repair itself and grow bigger when you sleep, so you must feed it well and have enough sleep for it to grow to its maximum potential.
If you are over 30 years old, you may like to further supplement with human growth hormone boosters and testosterone releasers. These supplements help your body to produce more of its own natural growth hormones and testosterones to enhance your muscle growth and body rejuvenation.
If you follow these suggestions and ways to gain weight diligently, you will see your muscle mass and bodyweight gradually increasing as the weeks go by.
