Put On Body Weight Along With Muscle When You Want To Add Size

Who wants to gain weight and muscle and not just muscle? Just wanting a stronger all-around body, for football for example, sometimes just takes adding a substantial amount of extra girth! Perhaps you’re just TOO THIN, and want a little more “meat on your bones.” Adding weight is easy, adding pure muscle is not as easy.

First, you need to establish that you DO actually want to gain weight and muscle.

Understand that any weight added that’s not muscle is basically bodyfat. 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, if you’re certain that is what you want!

Okay, here we go. For packing on some overall mass, you’ll want to significantly increase your milk intake – like 8 to 10 glasses a day!

No, seriously! As a teen, I DEEPLY DESIRED to gain weight. My goal was to go from 160 up to over 190 pounds. 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. I would recommend taking 3-4 weeks, easing your way into adding this much milk to your diet. Take the first 3 or4 weeks to build up to 10 glasses per day slowly. Trust me – your digestive system THANKS you!

Well, I DID mention adding MUSCLE.

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!) Using the heaviest weight you can safely manage, you’ll need to push out about ten to twenty squats per set. “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.

Here’s an overview of the 20 rep breathing squat program.

After 3-4 warm up sets in the squat rack, grab a weight that you can comfortably squat 10 times. Then, perform 20 repetitions of THOSE! The first 10 should come with some effort, but shouldn’t KILL you, either – that’s what the LAST 10 are for! You’ll do 10+, pause to catch your breath, do another repetition, pause again, and so forth until ALL 20 are finished! This is your only set. Do this squat workout and drink milk like crazy and you will gain weight with muscle guaranteed.
