How to put on weight to build muscle?

Are you tired of being the lankiest person at the gym? Do you want to bulk up and intimidate your fellow workout enthusiasts with your impressive biceps? Congratulations on taking this important step towards becoming a beefcake. In this guide, we will explore the various ways in which you can put on weight to build muscle.

The Basics of Gaining Weight:

Before we get started with our witty tips, let’s go over some basic concepts that are crucial if we wish to put weight on our bodies. Here are some basic steps for gaining weight (you might want to take notes!):

• Consume more calories than your body burns
• Lift weights regularly
• Eat enough protein
• Stay consistent!

These sound incredibly boring but trust us; they’re necessary for getting those sick gains!

Counting Calories is Key:

Keeping track of what and how much you eat is essential when trying to gain weight. If only it were as easy as throwing back a bunch of burgers, but sadly it’s not. You’ll need a plan that involves counting calories (yay!) – so learn how many calories per day or week, depending on your goals, you should be consuming.

Protein: The Nourishment Your Muscles Crave:

If building muscles were like nurturing plants, then protein would be like water and sunlight. Consuming adequate amounts of protein every day facilitates muscle growth by providing amino acids needed for tissue repair (just picture putting pieces together after shredding them apart while working out). Aim for consuming 1-2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight daily (yes…daily).

Lifting Weights With Consistency Builds Muscles:

No one ever woke up one morning looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger without hitting the gym consistently over several years(he didn’t one day look in the mirror and become Mr.Universe). Lifting heavy weights is the number one way to build muscle. Find a weight that’s challenging but still doable for you, then hit those weights consistently (you can’t just put in half effort and expect Gainsville welcome you with open arms).

Eat…A Lot:

It’s no secret that eating more food helps put on pounds. The problem people face is figuring out what types of foods they should eat when trying to gain weight. We’ve got your back; here are some high-calorie yet nutritious foods that will help give you the fuel needed to power through workouts and gain muscles.

Eggs Are Your Best Ally:

Eggs contain essential proteins and healthy fats that help boost weight gain while providing enough natural ingredients for optimum nutrition(not like munching on junk food full of ’empty calories’ as if it would build muscles magically). Incorporate eggs into your diet (hard-boiled, scrambled or poached) regularly, especially during breakfast time (just imagine how awesome an egg muffin sandwich smothered with cheese could be).

Carbs Will Be Muscle Fuel:

Fuel yourself up by consuming carb-rich foods such as whole grains baked goods(that sounds good doesn’t it?), oatmeal(yummy!), brown rice(hell yes!) or sweet potatoes(dazed and confused style!). Those carbs aren’t just contained energy -our bodies rely mostly on carbohydrates during exercises, so including them puts us ahead of the game. Don’t forget about fruit either- their vitamins are crucial!

Dairy Doesanathan Well Too:

Whole milk(shake anyone?) packs significant amounts of protein per serving along with carbohydrates too(taking two birds down from one stone no? Alright I’ll stop at once) which makes it perfect after workout drinks! Low-fat options are available too if dairy isn’t your thing.

Nuts Are Our Little Helpers:

What better snack to munch on than a handful of nuts which are filled with the nutritious components required for building muscles? Namely, healthy fats and protein(Mmm yes please!) – try cashews or almonds as they’re among the most beneficial.

Don’t Be Afraid To Get Salty:

Salt aids in maintaining water levels in our body so adding that extra pinch here and there isn’t going to be a deal breaker. Keep learning how much salt is needed so you don’t go overboard (
Please don’t call us when you feel bloated afterwards, though we can probably fix it by recommending eating some more carbs).

The Final Takeaway:

In conclusion, bulking up isn’t easy but using these tips should help make things much smoother(pun intended). Remember, consistency with calorie intake through high-calorie foods coupled with lifting heavy weights regularly gives the best results. You may also want to consider finding an accountability partner who’ll stay motivated during those tough times- having someone hold one accountable serves as motivation especially when feeling demotivated come your way (they’re natural!). Happy Muscle Building!
