Gain Weight and Muscle. When You Need to Add Size.
Looking to bulk up a bit? Want to gain weight and muscle? Well obviously someone who needs to add mass to their body like a football lineman or someone trying to go up in a weight class. Other people who are looking to add overall weight would be an exceptionally skinny guy. Adding weight is easy, adding pure muscle is not as easy.
Are You Really Trying to Gain Weight and Muscle?
Any weight that you gain that isn’t muscle is mainly body fat. Although bodyfat will increase your overall weight and size, it will also hide muscle beneath it, giving you a softer, undefined appearance. The choice is yours, but I suggest just focusing on adding muscle. Now we will get into the “nuts and bolts” of how to gain weight and muscle, I just wanted to insure that this is something you are really after.
Go “Old School” and Start Drinking Milk Every Few Hours
Personally, I know what it’s like to want to bulk up. A scrawny kid of 160 pounds, I wanted to see 190 – or HIGHER! By consuming good-sized portions of food each day, and drinking 10 glasses of milk, I achieved this goal. Now you need to understand weeks one, two, and three were a bit rough on the stomach. It’s strongly suggested that you don’t just jump right into this much milk all at once. Take it easy the first three or four weeks to help alleviate some of these digestion issues.
Live Under the Squat Rack
The BEST way I’ve found to add MASSIVE MUSCLE MASS quickly is to become “ONE” with the squat machine! (Remember, YOU wanted to gain weight and muscle – NOT good looks!) The key to gaining the most amount of muscle with squats is to do 10-20 reps with heavy weight. “Wait a minute. You’re saying HIGHER reps?!” That’s RIGHT! The latest research shows that higher reps are quite possibly the BEST way to build quick, natural muscle, such as with breathing squats.
An Outline of 20 Rep Breathing Squats
After 3-4 warm up sets in the squat rack, grab a weight that you can comfortably squat 10 times. At this weight, you will simply be pushing out TWENTY! The first 10 should come with some effort, but shouldn’t KILL you, either – that’s what the LAST 10 are for! Keep pausing then pushing out another rep until you get 20 total reps. Trust me – this is the ONLY set you do, and the ONLY one you need! That’s really it, in a nutshell. If you stick to this squat regimen, and consume milk like a FIEND, you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN to gain weight and muscle!
