Tips to Gain Weight

• To gain weight you must eat more calories than your body burns off, so EAT MORE! The most important thing that I cannot over stress is that you need to eat to gain weight. You need to eat like you've never eaten before. (but not junk food like donuts and chips or candy). In other words, you need a weight gain diet.

• Start eating six meals per day (space them out to about once every three hours). This is a weight gain diet used by those who know what they're doing.

• Increase your protein intake and reduce your simple carbohydrate intake. Without protein your body cannot build new muscle.

• Keep your workouts under one hour. Short and intense!

• Concentrate on free weight exercises that work the large muscle groups. The best weight training exercises for building mass are the simple ones. For mass, stick with compound free weight exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, barbell rows, pull ups and bar dips.

• Use heavy weights and low reps, rest 3 minutes between each set.

• Do only 2-3 exercises per body part.
