How
to Gain Weight
Weight Gain made easy...
I want to teach you how
to gain weight right here and right now! Many people have
trouble gaining weight. In order to build muscle, you should set out to
gain weight on your weightlifting program!
Gaining weight over time while lifting weights and progressing in the
weight you lift is the best way to build muscle. If you are trying to
gain weight, you should focus on adding the correct weight to your
body, which is muscle weight. No one wants to gain weight and simply
add more fat to their body! It’s unhealthy and not too pleasing to the
eyes.
So, how do we gain the type of weight that we want? Well, that’s what
I’m here for! This entire website is dedicated to helping you build
muscle and lose fat. If you’re trying to gain weight, you will focus on
building muscle.
To build muscle, you will lift weights, eat a surplus
of calories in your diet, and perform high intensity interval cardio
for short periods of time. In your weight
lifting program, you need to focus on lifting heavier weights over time
and progressing in the amount of reps you can lift with a certain
amount of weight.
Rule #1: Lift Weights
Weight lifting will give you the stimulus you need
for your body to build muscle. The WLC
Program is designed to help you
successfully lift heavier weight over time.
The Weight
Lifting
Complete
Program helps you build
strength along the way by using specific weight lifting techniques
throughout the program. The WLC Program is also designed to prevent
overtraining so you never have to take extra time off from weight
lifting to recover from overtraining symptoms.
When you lift weights in a progressive manner and
eat enough quality food to gain weight, you will build muscle
along the way.
Here at WLC, we will optimize everything in your program so that you
build more muscle and minimize the amount of fat you gain. There’s no
way to fail here at WLC!
Rule #2: Calorie
Surplus
A calorie surplus will allow you to gain weight
from week to week. Here at WLC, we perform a weekly
assessment on the last day of each week. We always record the
amount of
calories we eat each day and weigh ourselves at the beginning and end
of each week under the exact same conditions.
The weekly assessment
will tell us whether or not to add more calories to our diet for the
upcoming week. If we did not gain weight or gained less than our goal,
we add more calories to our diet for the upcoming week. This is easy to
do
with WLC as you will have calorie levels to follow throughout
your
weight lifting cycle.
If you have trouble gaining weight, then you’re
simply not eating enough. If you think you are already eating too much
and you want to gain weight, the solution is simple. You’ll have to eat
more, but you’ll need to start taking in calories that are easier for
you to get down.
Liquid meals will make the addition of calories very
easy. For example, a quick protein shake with a few tablespoons of flax
oil will give you an additional 500 calories just in that drink alone.
You’ll drink it down in less than a minute! You could add multiple
liquid meals throughout the day depending on the weight gain results
you get.
Gaining weight can be tough at times, but you have
to be patient. A pound a week might not seem like much, but when you
stay consistent and continue gaining a pound a week for multiple weeks
you’ll end up very happy!
How to gain
weight is an easy topic for me
because I’ve been doing it for so many years. Sometimes, you’ll get
sick of food. That’s why it’s important to be able to get those liquid
meals down the hatch! Eating so much food can be uncomfortable at
times, but you have to eat if you want to gain!
Rule #3: High
Intensity Interval Cardio
You might think that I’m crazy recommending cardio
to someone who is trying to gain weight, but trust me on this one!
Cardio will give you a bigger appetite, help keep some of that fat off
during muscle building cycles, keep your heart healthy, and allow your
body to become accustomed to the extra weight it will be carrying.
Regarding how to gain weight, cardio is a must in
my opinion due to the increased appetite you will get. You’ll be able
to eat an increased amount of calories above and beyond the calories
burned from your short cardio session.
People on the WLC
Program who are on a muscle building cycle should use short cardio
sessions
consisting of high intensity interval training. I like to start with 10
minute sessions for most people and only increase to 15 minutes maximum
2-3 times per week. This will do the trick and will
increase your appetite!
Summary of
How to Gain Weight
Learning how to gain weight might be tough for you
at first, but the WLC Program will guide you along the way until you
become a pro at gaining weight. You’ll start to see how easy it is.
It’s rather simple!
If you don’t gain any weight for the week, raise
your caloric intake for the upcoming week. Check your weight again and
adjust again. Repeat this process. Continue adding calories until you
are gaining weight. That’s how to gain weight!
