How I Gained 15 Pounds In Just Six Weeks
Written by Alex Marlin on September 24, 2007 – 3:38 am -This is from a skinny kid, who always wanted to gain weight, but was scared and didn’t fully understand the concept behind gaining weight. Being thin or small is very difficult, because we are always looked down upon. Many thin friends of mine, still didn’t grasp the part that they will live a longer and much healthier life than most of the over weight folks in the world.
What I did was eat a lot of food, but for nothing good would I put on a pound. It wasn’t until I made my 21st birthday that I realized what I was doing wrong. I will show you exactly how to take that scrawny frame of yours and add 15 pounds of muscle in 6 weeks or less.
Before I do that let me explain to you what took place when I gained weight, I started to really like putting on the pounds, and I continued to eat like a pig. My waist went from a size 28 to a size 34. I honestly started to hate my new look, I didn’t like the size I was, I now weighed more than 165 pounds. I was weighing 125 pounds for years the jumped to 135 and now I was looking huge, but in my eyes I was looking fat. I then had to loose back 15 pounds. I wanted to be just 150 pounds.
Skinny people have a hard time keeping up with eating, because we have a very high digestive metabolism factor to deal with. But, we tend to starve ourselves most of the day, by refusing to eat when we need to eat. You will have to eat, if you wish to add any pounds.
It all worked out fine, because I really understood how to gain weight and at the same mastered the weight loss system I created for myself. I lost the 15 pounds in just two weeks. So, what I want to make clear here is that you will have to set your own weight goal, and measure yourself only once per week.
First to get you on the right track, you will have to get your mind power flowing, and that is doable, all you have to do is tell yourself that you will stick with this routine I will outline here for six weeks and that will help you gain the amount of pounds you desire. It works, I am living proof, and I have grown to love myself even more and so will you.
I do wish that you join a gym or if you have some dumb-bells and a bench at home, this will work also. We will have to get into bodybuilding for those six weeks, because we don’t want to build all fat and no muscles. This routine is very easy, we will be training for 30 minutes per day and just three times per week. Another friend of mines just wanted to gain the weight, he didn’t care about the muscles, he just wanted to look bigger. So that option is open if you wish to do it that way also.
Six Week Training Schedule:
You should train one day on, one day off. So the choice is your to either train on Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
Day1:
- Bench Press - 3 sets max of maximum weight (two warm upset with light weights)
- Shoulder Press - 3 sets of maximum weight (two warm upset with light weights)
- Barbell Curls - 3 sets of maximum weight (two warm upset with light weights)
Day2:
- Leg Press or Squats - 3 sets max of maximum weight (two warm upset with light weights - Squats is best, but I did alternate them)
- Seated Rows - 3 sets max of maximum weight (two warm upset with light weights)
- Calf Raises - 3 sets max of maximum weight (two warm upset with light weights)
Day3:
- Barbell Shoulder Press - 3 sets max of maximum weight (two warm upset with light weights)
- Dips - as much as you can do per set (3 sets)
- Triceps Press - 3 sets max of maximum weight (two warm upset with light weights)
*** Weight Training Tip To Remember ***
It is not about trying to lift one hundred pounds, it is more about the right movements. So ask someone in your gym to show you the proper exercise routines. And stick with this schedule, nothing more and nothing less. The results will be remarkable. I started lifting just the bar for my bench press , so you got an idea how weak I was. But I gained weight fast, because my eating routine was perfect and they all said that I was on the juice, meaning using steroids, but I don’t recommend that route, I never did. I just wanted to gain weight, I was not into becoming a professional body builder.
Tips For Eating This Much:
Your routine will be to eat between four to six meals a day, that means every two to three hours daily you will have to get something to eat.
What I would advise is to go find yourself some wholesaler to buy your chicken or fish fillet. I bought my boneless chicken breast by the case and stocked my freezer. The next week I would eat fish.
You can mix and match that daily menu to sooth you, but I will give you the full six meals, and your job is to eat at least four of those meals. I used to carry my food with me to work in two little containers, and that is how it fitted perfectly with my schedule.
I used to cook enough chicken in a batch for 3 days, either grilled or stewed. So that my days would not be tied up with cooking.
Daily Eating Routine:
Morning between 6:00 A. M. - 7:00 A. M. - Eat one 4 ounce chicken breast with two slices of bread. could also eat 4 boil eggs with two slices of bread.
9:00 A. M. - 10:00 A.M. Eat one 4 ounce chicken breast with a apple
12:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M. Eat One 6 ounce chicken breast with a boiled potato and some stewed vegetables.
3:00P.M. - 4:00 P.M. One Banana and a little cup of Apple Sauce. ( I bought those cups of Applesauce that was packed in 4 ounce containers.
6:00 P.M. - (One hour before I go train) - Eat 1/4 cup of raisins and another applesauce.
7:00 P.M. - (Just after Training) - Eat a apple or banana, 1/4 cup of raisins and 1 applesauce.
8:00 P.M. Eat one 6 ounce Chicken breast with a cup of rice and vegetables. This is the last meal I eat for the night.
******* Please make sure that your drinking a lot of water, after each meal drink at least one eight ounce glass of water ******
This routine works, and I know it isn’t easy, because your body will first have to get accustom to eating so much food, start with just four meal and slowly increase until your eating six meals a day. In no time, you will see yourself gaining weight.
One you have reached, your desired weight cut back to just four times per week, that will help you keep the weight you at.
If for whatever reason, you have a hard time meeting the scheduled eating routine, you can get some meal replacement packs from GNC, and use those shakes to replace two of the meals. I did that, when my schedule was very tight.
