Because gaining weight for hardgainers is extremely difficult, the only way you will get bigger is to shock your body into growth. You do this by...
- Eating a lot of calories
- Training with free weights.
Right? (Sure, but it must done in a proper way. And it's not what you think!)
You must shock your body into growth — the right way.
The first shock is by eating more calories than your body is used to. This is the most important factor in gaining mass. When you overload your system with plenty of protein and fats, your body has no other choice but to gain weight.
The goal is to eat just enough calories to allow your body to build more muscle, but not so many calories that you gain a large amount of body fat.
The second way you must shock your body is with weight training. Weight training is the fastest way to get your body to build more muscle.
Dieting and weight training both work together. The weight training overloads the muscles and stimulates growth, while the food you eat provides the necessary building blocks to repair and build new muscle tissue.
If you don't eat correctly while weight training, you WILL lose muscle tissue.
To gain weight you have to eat, period! It basically must become a job. This is very simple, but most people never grasp the concept of eating. (And eating properly.)
Not only was I not eating enough calories for my fast metabolism, but I was also eating too many carbohydrates and not enough high quality protein.
To build muscle you must eat the right foods in the right quantities.
If you are not getting at least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, then you won't gain muscle, period. In the past, I would just skip over this part. It seemed too difficult to grasp. That was my biggest mistake.
Only protein can build muscle tissue!
To make sure I was eating enough, I had to learn to measure and calculate my daily food intake. If you don't do this, you'll never know what you're actually eating. (I used to guess, but judging by my previous failure, I was guessing incorrectly.)
In addition to eating more calories, you also have to eat more often. Eating three meals a day does not cut it! It doesn't provide your body with the constant flow of nutrients and energy it needs to grow.
So, you must increase your meal intake to 6 per day — eating every three hours.
Yes, six meals per day.
(But don't worry. There are ways around this and I show you how. I'll come back to this a little later. For now, let's look into why this is important.)
Eating six meals a day takes planning, and this is where nutritional supplements have helped me the most. Now, I know that this is a very sensitive subject with many people. Some say that they're a waste of money, that they don't work and that you don't need them. Well, they are partly correct.
