Men Women Teens Sculpt Muscle or Bodybuild

My summary excerpts from the article “The Skinny Gal’s/Guy’s Guide To Gaining Weight” Vince DelMonte.  To read the complete article Click Here.

If the title of this post caught your attention, there is a good chance you are sick and tired of not seeing the weight on the scale budge.  People, predestined to be skinny, are commonly referred to as “hard gainers.”  These people have traits like Lamborghini-type metabolism, giraffe like limbs, and the strength of a senior citizen. You have to fight with every bone in your body to do something about your small frame and to keep up to your friend.  Even though you might think your genetic deficiencies have sentenced you to a life of frailty, there is hope.

If you are underweight, than your first step to gaining weight is to understand that you must play by a different set up rules.  Vince goes through these steps in the article

1. Double It Up: double whatever you are currently eating in the kitchen right now

2. Live Your Life Around Food:  Eat every 2-3 hours.  Set your clock on a countdown timer to go off every 2 and ½ hours to remind you.  Eat your first meal within 15-30 minutes of waking up - absolutely no later. This first meal of the day should always consist of REAL food to flood your body with quality nutrients.

3. Use BIG Eating Equipment: Get a BIG cup, get a BIG bowel, and get a BIG plate.

4. Never Train Hungry.

5. Eat Nutrient Dense Foods

Focus on caloric-rich foods that are loaded with nutrients.  Here are some of the best choices:

• Carbohydrates - Oatmeal, rice, breads, yams beans, potatoes, fruits and veggies.
• Proteins - Steak, chicken, lean beef, cottage cheese, whole milk, eggs and salmon.
• Fats - Olive oil, flax oil, avocados, nuts and peanut butter.
• Extras (high calorie cheat food) - Ice cream, raisins, dried fruit and trail mix.

6. Drink A Carb And Protein Drink While You Workout

7.  Live the motto, “Never Stop Eating”

We can work on losing weight, we can do cardio to burn calories, strengthen our legs and possible arms, help our heart and lungs. But for our Abs, we need exercises that work the ab muscles. Here is a video with a killer ab workout - meaning you will really have to work to complete it!

Doing this once or twice won’t get it. You will need to repeat this everyday or every other day, rotating with workouts for the arms, legs, etc. And just like with the arms (The Popeye Syndrome - Build Your Arm Muscles), we would look funny with a ‘washboard’ abs and flabby legs and arms.

I have noticed that people tend to think bodybuilding is just for men or over zealous teanage boys.  But it isn’t.  It isn’t limited to twenty year old females either.  A 60 year old woman can start out slowly and progress at her own pace.  Weight workouts build muscle which cut down on the flabby look and burns more calories.  It’s like losing weight - or gaining weight - while getting fit all in one swoop.  You don’t have to be trying to compete professionally or look muscle bound to benefit from weight training.  You don’t have to purchase equipment if you go to a gym, and you don’t have to go to a gym if you desire to purchase home equipment.  Either way, you don’t have to have everything to start.
