How long will it take for me to gain 50 lbs?
No one can tell you that. If they try they will be misleading you. The fact
is that everyone gains weight differently. Some gain quickly, while others take
much longer. What we can guarantee you is that YOU WILL
build more muscle mass if you consistently follow the diet and workouts that
we provide.
I need to build muscle but I don't have much time and I don't want
to go to exercise. Can you help?
Well not really. Let's come back to reality a bit. You must have time to dedicate
to learning and implementing your training program. Exercise stimulates your
body to build more muscle. Your diet provides the raw material that your body
will use for energy and to build that new muscle. Both elements work together
and are unavoidable!
Isn't there some pill I can take to gain weight instead of all of this
work?
No. There is no magic pill that will enable you to gain weight without any
sort of work on your part.
Why do I have to eat a specific diet? Can't I just eat anything I want?
Just lots of it?
It is important that you monitor and track what you eat so that you can monitor
how your body responds to what you are feeding it. Based on that data you can
then tweak and modify your diet for improved progress. You begin to learn what
works for your body and how what you eat affects your appearance.
I really don’t have an appetite, and don’t like to eat
much – but I do like to workout. Would I still be able to gain weight
if I just went to the gym more instead of eating more? Will this work?
Resistance training stresses and damages muscle tissue. Your body responds
to this stress by building larger and stronger muscle fibers. Your body needs
food to repair and build muscle tissue after you workout. No amount of training
can make up for your lack of calories. Adding more workouts will increase the
stress and damage, INCREASING the need for more calories, not
reducing it.
I’m on a weight gain program, but I’m not seeing my six
pack. I do crunches every day, but my abs are hardly visible at all. What am
I doing wrong?
Everyone has the potential for great abs, but to see them you must remove the
layer of fat covering them. To do this you should follow a lower calorie diet
that focus on reducing your body fat levels. This is just the opposite of what
is required to build large amounts of mass. To build mass requires higher calorie
dieting, which will cause you to gain some additional body fat as well as muscle.
Sorry, but that’s the truth!
During my 12 week transformation, I first focused on gaining mass, and then
later I focused on lowering my body fat levels to reveal my abs. I did not try
to do both at the same time. If I had, I would have never made much progress
either way.
You recommend eating six times per day, but how do you do it? I simply
don’t have time to eat that often! What about people who are busy?
Yes, I will admit that eating every three hours will take some getting used
to, but it is definitely possible. Many of use are busy also, but we make it
work by planning. You must plan your meals in advance. Know what you are going
to eat and when. This will allow you to plan quick portable meals during times
when you can’t sit down or take a break to eat “real food”.
Some great portable meals are MRP’s, Ready to Drink products, and Protein
bars. Even a egg or chicken sandwich will help. These foods can provide you
with the needed protein and carbs to help you get more calories. Here’s
a sample meal plan for all you busy guys:
8am: Breakfast: 3 Egg sandwich (in car)
11am: 2 Whey Protein Bars (at school)
2pm: Lunch: ½ of a Rotisserie chicken, corn, potatoes
(cafeteria)
5pm: Ready to Drink MRP and some walnuts (at school)
6pm: Workout
8pm: Dinner: Lean steak, rice and string beans (restaurant)
11pm: MRP with some Flaxseed oil (at home)
12am: Bed!
One more think, don’t wait until the last minute to scramble for a meal.
This will ultimately lead to skipping meals which is what you don’t want
to do. Eating a high calorie diet day in and day out is difficult. Don’t
give yourself an excuse not to eat.
What’s the deal with drinking? I love to party and drink on the
weekends, but I still want desperately to gain more weight. Can I drink beer
and still gain muscle?
The key here is moderation. Moderate consumption of alcohol has been shown
to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, but excessive alcohol intake can
damage your liver, heart and stop your body’s ability repair and build
muscle tissue. You should limit your intake of alcohol to no more than a couple
of drinks, 1-2 times per week. The problem happens when you go overboard. Getting
“wasted” will decrease your body’s recovery capability; cause
a reduction in protein synthesis and reduce your strength.
Many people complain that these limitations and restrictions are interfering
with their fun, but my response to this is; if you have a goal, you must focus
on what you must do (and not do) each day to reach it. This means avoiding anything
that will delay or hinder your progress. It’s about sacrifice, but you
must decide what is important. Who said “Part of getting what you want
is knowing what you have to give up to get it?” Mr. Bill Phillips I believe.
Never a more true statement!
I really want to gain weight badly so I bought a weight gainer powder
recommended by the supplement store salesperson. Do you recommend these?
Well, it’s a little late to ask me since you’ve already bought
it, but NO. I definitely do not recommend them. The idea of a higher calorie,
easy to drink shake is great, unfortunately most weight gainer products are
less than ideal. These products are remnants of the “high carb”
80’s, back when everyone recommended eating carbs to gain muscle. Almost
all weight gainers on the market contains tons of carbs in the form of sugar.
That alone should be enough to make you avoid the product, but they also contain
VERY LITTLE protein.
Think about these two points:
1) Protein is what builds muscle, not carbs.
2) Excess sugar consumption typically leads to accelerated
body fat storage.
When looking for a MRP, or even a weight gainer, look for products that have
plenty of high quality protein (preferably whey), and low sugar content. Overall,
the product should have much more protein than total carbs and very little sugar.
I really want to gain more muscle, but I’m afraid I will gain
fat. I’m not your typical skinny guy. I’m thin, but I also have
a large stomach and some love handles. I recently got my body fat measured and
it’s 28% Is it possible to be skinny and fat? What should I do?
Yes it is possible to be thin and still have high body fat levels. Being “slim”
doesn’t necessarily mean you have low body fat levels.
I have seen many results from many different types of people on high calorie
diets. From my experience, individuals starting a high calorie diet with a high
body fat level will tend to gain more fat than muscle. This could quite possibly
be due to a sluggish “fat storer” metabolism. On the flipside, individuals
starting a high calorie diet with already low body fat levels tend to gain more
muscle than fat.
Since you have a fairly high body fat level, you should first go on a fat loss
diet to lower your body fat. This will increase your chances of gaining more
muscle than fat when you do start a higher calorie diet. It will also help you
to keep your body fat levels in check. It is very easy to let your body fat
levels get out of hand when trying to “bulk up”. This is a mistake.
The more body fat you have, the more difficult it becomes to remove later on. Want to learn more? Take a tour of our community by clicking here. To join us, click here.
