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.
