Tips for gaining weight

Gaining muscular bodyweight is a popular subject for a lot of lifters. Here are a few important points to remember.

1. Keep your routine short and heavy.

2. Work the BIG muscles. Do squats, deadlifts, clean & press, dips, chins, etc. You don't need curls, triceps extensions or any small exercises. Use your energy on the big stuff. Your arms will still grow!

3. Don't work out too often. Two or three times a week is perfect for gaining.

4. Get plenty of sleep.

5. Get enough to eat--but no junk food.

6. Drink a LOT of whole milk. Skim milk will work but not as

well because it is lower in calories.

7. A key point: High reps with heavy weights is more stimulating than the usual low rep routines.
