TOP 5 WAYS TO GAIN WEIGHT AND MUSCLE (WITHOUT GOING TO THE GYM)

So now that we have officially finished the Losing Weight to Gain Muscle Series, I thought this might be the time to help the people who are opposite to them. The skinny guys. There are literally millions or billions of people who are skinny but I rarely see anyone writing or talking about gaining weight (so nothing to worry about, you are not alone). Everybody is too busy doing the weight loss things that people who are underweight, are completely ignored.

          So I think that I will be writing a series of Gaining Weight

and Muscle in the future but for now, I will provide the top 5 tips from which you can gain weight and muscle without going to the gym. Now let me tell you upfront that you will not be getting any abs, biceps or triceps, or anything like that. You will just gain weight and muscle but to shape that muscle, you will have to go to the gym.

          Who should ignore these tips? Anyone who doesn’t care how he or she looks. Anyone who doesn’t care about the world and what the other people say about them. Anyone who doesn’t want to get married or date a girl.

          If you are someone who is willing to put your a** to some work and feel the difference, you are the perfect person to read this.

1.   Eat a lot and Drink a lot – By drinking I definitely didn’t mean beer. I meant water. It is critical to drink plenty of water throughout the day so that you don’t run out of enery.

Also you should concentrate on eating a lot more. If you eat 3 meals a day, you should probably double it. 3 normal meals and 3 snacks that should contain atleast half of the calories that you take in your normal meals. If you don’t know how many calories you eat in a normal meal, try to eat an extra 500 calories a day. This way you will gain 2lbs every week. This is pretty easy, huh…

2.   Protein + Good Things= A perfect human being – If you are just eating anything to increase your calorie intake then you are doing it wrong. You will just get fat and not gain muscle. Eating McDonalds, having a breakfast at Taco Bells (yes, they now have a breakfast menu too) can easily increase your calorie intake but they are not good.

So if you want to build muscle, then you should eat healthy calories which are loaded with good proteins, vitamins and carbs.

We all have learned in the school that protein is the building blocks of muscle. It turned out that it was true. So eating chicken, fish, meat etc. will increase your protein intake and will build your body. 

3.   Track everything – Keeping track of everything will help you eat the exact amount of calories you want. You can’t just do the math in your head. It would be better if you sign up to a site like dailyburn.com (its free). All you have to do is, sign up (of course), input your stats and start tracking your every meal. It will tell you if you are taking enough calories, protein, vitamins etc. My high school friend Zeeshan was able to gain 9lbs with the help of this website.

4.   Sleep – Your body needs atleast 6-7 hours of sleep for maximum gains of your diet to gain some muscle and fat. It’s not doing anything, just lying there and building muscle. So make sure you give it what it wants. It might be tough for you to stop your movies and go to sleep before 3AM but you have to do that if you are damn serious about gaining weight and muscle.

5.   Go to the GYM – Yes I know that I said it is possible to gain muscle without going to the gym. But if you follow the same diet for a long time, then you will probably gain too much of fat and you will then have to search for tips to lose weight.

So instead of doing that, start going to the gym and start doing some light exercises. After some time, concentrate on becoming stronger by lifting more weights, doing more reps, eating more calories and you will be ripped even before you know.

Now I know how it feels like when you are too skinny and too shy to go to the gym. But remember this, anyone who goes to the gym, isn’t perfect and that’s how all the human beings are. Don’t listen to anyone who says that you should first gain some muscle and then come to gym because they are wrong.

As long as you are eating enough calories, you are perfect to go to the gym and just make sure you do some light exercises because you don’t want to get injured in the first month, do you?

If you think I wrote something wrong, you can point it out and insult me in the comments. I would appreciate that.

Losing Weight to Gain Muscle (Part 3): 3 Ways to Challenge Yourself

I have been working overtime since the past week and I think because of that I wasn't able to update you with new information here. Actually I'm trying to stick to a routine which will be great if I do, so that I too will be able to benefit with the information. The thing is, when I write any new post here, I get motivated more to go to the gym and workout even harder and so I try my best to write here in order to motivate you and myself. Win win situation, right?

So today's post is about challenging yourself because it helps you reach your goals much faster. Always remember

If someone challenges you to do something, you give your best shot to defeat the challenger. Why? Its deeply dug into our mind that we have to win every challenge, even if technically we are not capable of winning that challenge.

What if that challenger is yourself? How would you give it a shot to defeat yourself? Is it even possible to defeat yourself?

Yes it is possible to defeat yourself, but how will you do that?

These are the ways to do that, but you should not consider these tips as rules and so I recommend you to do whatever you feel like you are best at.

1. BE A LITTLE CHILD:

Yes, that's right. Start being a little child and be persistent about what you want and you'll usually get it. It's just like how a child is, he is so persistent at demanding things from his/her parents that they have to give it. They simply can't ignore that thing.

I want you to be that child. Be persistent and you will get what you want because no one will be able to ignore what you want. To achieve things or goals in this world, you have to demand success and respect or else you won't get what you deserve.

2. CHANGE YOUR MINDSET:

Stop thinking negative things. If you think negative, you do negative and you will surely get results that you don't desire. So make sure you change your mentality because just a little change in mentality can make you a successful person.

I used to think that I will never be able to make money online, but I was persistent and gave it my best shot because I considered it as a challenge from me to myself. I defeated myself and I'm proud of it. How did I achieved that? I just tweaked my mentality (to be a little geeky).

3. NEVER CRITISIZE YOURSELF:

Never do that and never make yourself guilty. It only makes you weaker. Instead of critisizing yourself, you should learn from your mistakes and make sure that you never repeat them again. I know failure is the biggest problem in the world and after failure many people say negative things about our goals.

You just have to ignore them because they will discourage you and take you far away from your goals. Whenever you fail, think of this like you found a way through which your goal cannot be acheived.

Whenever I went to the gym, people used to say that I look more fatter after working out and I should probably stop going. I listened to all their BS advice and never stopped going to the gym, why? Because I thought that maybe I should try to be consistent and see what happens, even if I fail, I will discover a way through which I will not be able to lose weight and gain muscle.

And here I am, giving you advices about losing weight effectively.

You see, you, yourself make things difficult by overthinking the things. You think that you won't be able to achieve your goals.

Let me ask you a question. How many times have you thought that you won't be able to become a billionaire like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg? How many times have you thought that you won't be able to build your muscles like Arnold? How many times have you thought that you won't be able to make money online?

Many times, you can't even count because these thoughts are like stamped on your mind. Whenever you think that you want that new job which is better than the current one and has more salary, you just think that you won't be able to handle that job. But in reality, you are the best person for it.

This used to happen with me when I was a person with many flabs. I just used to admire these bodybuilders and think that they have some unique or secret thing that they follow to acheive that kind of body. But in reality, hard work is the only secret.

How did Mark Zuckerberg became the youngest billionaire ever? He didn't had the mentality like us. He didn't cared about what people said about him. He worked hard and was dedicated to what he was doing, he knew that it will help him in the future. What did he get? He got to drop out of college in the second year and is now a living a billionaire lifestyle which we can only dream of.
