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!


If you need any further help, contact me. I’ll be glad to help you further. Be sure to read the other sections of the website! The WLC Program helps you reach any goals you want!
