Go through your daily diet. Count your grams of protein, grams of carbs, grams of fats, and total calories. If you're not gaining weight, you probably aren't getting enough nutrients.

Mass gainer, 4 - 6 meals a day, lift 75% of your 1RM and you'll bulk up pretty quick.

If we're talking gaining weight as fat I don't see how somebody can look in a mirror at their fat mess of a self and be comfortable with it.

Wait, you actually are looking at this? Damn, I never look at these, at least on this site.

Disagree. Losing weight is harder.

IMHO

It's really not. Gaining weight (muscle mass) has been much harder for me, because of height (though I have gained around 30 pounds this year, I used to be really skinny).


Well I guess I'm not one to talk, I have always had to cut weight for wrestling, and that sucks. I've never had to actually try and gain weight, so I wouldn't know.

Gaining weight is different for everyone. I have a fast metabolism so it's REALLY hard for me to gain weight.

Healthy weight is what I'm aiming for. So far I've gained five pounds, and it's been a month.

Thanks. I want to go for 20. But it's taking a while. Sometimes I lose motivation, but I just want to look like Taylor Lautner to be honest.

Most people can't gain more than 10 pounds of pure, dry muscle in a year.

Trust me, friend. Once you've gained some weight, you'll look in the mirror and only want more.

Except you never, never gain pure, dry muscle. You gain body fat as well as muscle. I've been bulking and I gained 30 pounds in the last 6 months. Some of it is muscle, some of it is fat.

Anyway OP, 5 pounds a month is good progress. Keep doing what you're doing, because it's working.

I know, I'm talking about excluding the fat. Like if you were to lose all of the fat you had gained while bulking, it wouldn't add up to more than about 10 lbs of muscle.

It's difficult for me, but that's 'cause I'm lazy.

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

If you think you can't gain weight, you aren't trying hard enough.

Dave Tate:
There was a time at the Old Westside gym where I couldn't gain weight to save my -blam!- life.

There was this dude who trained there who could just put on weight like -blam!- magic. He'd go from 198 to 308 and then to 275 and back down to 198. And he was never fat. It was amazing.

I finally asked him one day how he did it.

"You mean I never told you the secret to gaining weight? Come outside and I'll fill you in."

Now remember, we're at Westside Barbell. And this guy wants to go outside to talk so no one else can hear. Think about that for a minute. What the hell is he going to tell me? This must be some serious -blam!- if we have to go outside, I thought.

So we get outside and he starts talking.

"For breakfast you need to eat four of those breakfast sandwiches from McDonalds. I don't care which ones you get, but make sure to get four. Order four hash browns, too. Now grab two packs of mayonnaise and put them on the hash browns and then slip them into the sandwiches. Squish that -blam!- down and eat. That's your breakfast."

At this point I'm thinking this guy is nuts. But he's completely serious.

"For lunch you're gonna eat Chinese food. Now I don't want you eating that crappy stuff. You wanna get the stuff with MSG. None of that non-MSG bull-blam!-. I don't care what you eat but you have to sit down and eat for at least 45 minutes straight. You can't let go of the fork. Eat until your eyes swell up and become slits and you start to look like the woman behind the counter."

"For dinner you're gonna order an extra-large pizza with everything on it. Literally everything. If you don't like sardines, don't put 'em on, but anything else that you like you have to load it on there. After you pay the delivery guy, I want you to take the pie to your coffee table, open that -blam!- up, and grab a bottle of oil. It can be olive oil, canola oil, whatever. Anything but motor oil. And I want you to pour that -blam!- over the pie until half of the bottle is gone. Just soak the -blam!- out of it."

"Now before you lay into it, I want you to sit on your couch and just stare at that -blam!-. I want you to understand that that pizza right there is keeping you from your goals."

This guy is in a zen-like state when he's talking about this.

"Now you're on the clock," he continues. "After 20 minutes your brain is going to tell you you're full. Don't listen to that -blam!-. You have to try and eat as much of the pizza as you can before that 20-minute mark. Double up pieces if you have to. I'm telling you now, you're going to get three or four pieces in and you're gonna want to quit. You -blam!- can't quit. You have to sit on that couch until every piece is done.

And if you can't finish it, don't you ever come back to me and tell me you can't gain weight. 'Cause I'm gonna tell you that you don't give a -blam!- about getting bigger and you don't care how much you lift!"

Did I do it? Hell yeah. Started the next day and did it for two months. Went from 260 pounds to 297 pounds. And I didn't get much fatter. One of the hardest things I've ever done in my life, though.
