If building muscles were easy everyone would be 230lbs of pure muscle. The key to gaining weight by building muscle is time and effort. If you are not willing to take the time, and work extremely hard – you are wasting your time.

If you are willing to make the most of the opportunity that you have and put in the time and effort needed, then stick with me and lets discuss how you can gain weight by building muscle.

There are 3 steps you need to take to build muscle

Weightlifting

What this includes is your workout routine and the actual exercises themselves. Your workout routine must let your whole body get the best workout it possibly can. There are a heap of different exercises for each muscle group, and what you have to do is do the most effective exercises for each individual muscle for you to gain weight if the quickest possible way.

Your Diet

Your diet is actually just as important as the weightlifting itself. If you are not eating, how can you grow? What you need to do is eat huge and lift huge, to be huge. You should be eating at least 1 gram of protein for each pound of your body weight. That is each day, every day – even when you are not weightlifting.

Protein is what builds your muscles, that makes you gain weight and build muscle. Most people, including myself use protein bars and powders to supplement the protein we are eating in our real food – to make the 1 gram per pound of body weight. You want to gain weight, but pure muscle not fat, so stay away from saturated fats and all junk food, fast food, fried foods, cookies, candy etc.
One last thing, make sure you are eating enough calories!

Everything else

One of the main points here is not to over train. You have to give your body enough time to rest and recover. Consistency is also very important, you need to be following a set routine, it is no point doing this for a week and giving up – it is a lifestyle.
