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 mostly on compound lifts and it'll play a big part in helping you gain weight.

Number two is going to be your diet. Obviously everyone is different. Everyone has a different metabolism, resting metabolic rate, and all these things, so if you're a skinny guy (which I'm assuming you are if you're watching this video) then a good starting point with your diet is to take your bodyweight times twenty... And whatever you get, that's how many calories per day you should start eating.

Now that's not an exact science, it's just a good starting point. If you take your bodyweight x 20 whatever number you get, say it's 3,000 - then you're going to eat 3,000 calories per day.

Start there. Start doing the compound exercises, start eating enough calories, and weigh yourself a week later and see if you've made any gains. And if you haven't then you need to bump up your calories, or tweak your workout... maybe you're not really doing the workouts you're supposed to be doing...

One more thing I want to let you know about the workouts is that more is not always better. Some people believe that the more workouts you get in the more muscle you're going to grow... Well that's wrong. That's not always the case. Guys who are on steroids can go in the gym 6 days a week for 2 hours at a time, or whatever they do, and they can get away with that.

...But for naturally skinny guys with average genetics or below average genetics, you're going to want to start working out 3 days a week tops.

Split up your workout into 3 days. Stop trying to work out 5 days a week.

So those are 3 good tips that I can give you right now, but if you want to get more tips on how to gain weight and build muscle, meet me over at http://www.WeightGainMethod.com and I'll see you there!

  • Buy MRE's each meal have about 1300 calories in it Eat two a day during the week as snacks That put some weight on you. The only things is that its expensive as hell a case of 12 meals run you around 70-90 bucks but if you serious about gaining weight Try it out to see. I gain about 15 in a month.

  • Am i skinny because i dont drink enough water

  • 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.
