This is an easy one. I gained 50 lbs in nine months through lifting and protein shakes. Four or five sets with eight reps each for seated overhead press, bench press, bicep curls (“curls for girls!”), and bent over rows, all will do the trick. Be sure to include squats, but your rep range needs to be 12-15. Go up in weight once you reach your reps on your last set.

For weight gain, eat at least three meals a day with a high calorie shake (1200 calories, 50 grams of protein) immediately after (don’t drink before your meal or you’ll feel full). Throw in some fruit, nut butter, baby spinach, etc. to improve the taste. Between meals have a protein bar, a hard boiled egg, or a a small shake 600 calories). Be sure you have fiber in the shake. If you can, have a shake just before bed.

Hey people letting u know that cutting out fat won’t lead to weight loss. Fat can actually help weight loss (healthy fats) I recommend you get good nutrition and exercise everyday it can small things like walking for an hour or just doing some dancing, weight loss is achieved with healthy balances of nutrition and exercise so try your best!

Hi there U1190977666-
Are you striving to bulk up and gain muscle? Strength training and eating a greater volume of food (especially lean protein) can help promote healthy weight gain.
You can set a weight gain goal in the app when you register.
Not sure what you meant by lots of exercise? There are so many different types of exercises out there. Muscle tonight may result in a slight bump in the scale though often folks notice their clothes are fitting better.

Lifting weights is important like stated above. High weight low rep (5-8 reps of 4-5 sets). I strongly recommend having a trainer or at least someone to watch your form to prevent injury. Good form is better than just piling on weight. Focus on large muscle groups like chest, back, and legs. Of course protein is key as stated above. Most important thing to remember is when you are lifting weights you are breaking down muscle, you have to assure your body is getting enough rest because that is when your body actually builds muscle. Don’t work out the same muscle group 2 days in a row, usually give at least 3-4 days off for that muscle group to recover and build. Get enough sleep too!
