Trying to gain muscle weight can be one of the most frustrating things you will ever try to do. One of the main problems is information overload. Instead of focusing on exercises that have been proven to work, we run to the latest fad or pill. Get back to the basics with this program and gain muscle weight faster than you ever dreamed possible.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 45 minutes of effort 3 times a week
  • a high protein diet
  • dedication to try this program for 3 months
  1. Step 1

    Day One - Perform the following exercises: squats, calf raises, and crunches. Complete 3 to 4 sets for each exercise consisting of 8 to 12 reps per set.

  2. Step 2

    Day Two - Perform the following exercises: Flat Bench Press, Dumbbell Flye, Shoulder Presses, Side Laterals, and Tricep Pushdowns.

  3. Step 3

    Day Three - Perform the following exercises: Lat Pulldowns, EX Bar Curls, Incline dumbbell curls, and crunches.

  4. Step 4

    Complete each day with one day of rest in between workouts. If you complete Day One exercises on Tuesday, complete Day Two on Thursday, and Day Three on Saturday. Ensuring that you give your muscles plenty of time to recover is a key step when trying to gain muscle weight.

  5. Step 5

    Complete 30 to 45 minutes of Cardio on Off Days - This set is optional depending on your current level of fitness. If you need to lose a few pounds, performing cardio 3 times a week for 45 minutes will really super size your results.
