1. Maximize your protein intake at every meal.After calculating the calories per day required for achieving your muscle weight gain goals, ensure that at lest 60% of each meal consist of protein in the form of fish, lean beef, or poultry.
2. Small meals throughout the day are best. Quick meals or snacks can consist of seeds, nuts, and dried fruits. Protein loaded trail mixes found at many grocers make an excellent between meal snack. Fresh cut fruits and vegetables, cheese, and boiled eggs also make excellent quick meals.
3. Structure your workouts so that you spend the most time working on the core muscle groups including the legs, chest, shoulders, and back.It is especially key that if you are just starting a weight lifting program that you work on building up the strength, endurance, and coordination of these key muscles in order to support the isolated muscle movements (biceps, triceps, etc) you will eventually be doing.
4. When performing a lift, concentrate on the muscles being worked.Envision the muscle fibers contracting and releasing as you perform the exercise. This mental concentration will encourage the body to bring more of the muscle fibers into play, thus maximizing your efforts.
5. Muscle weight gain workouts are usually very intense and will force the breakdown of muscle, allowing for new growth. Be sure to allow adequate recovery time between workouts to ensure that muscle growth can occur.If you don’t provide the muscles the time between workouts to recover and grow, you will not make any gains and will be risking injury.
6.Find a program that will support your muscle weight gain goals. There are many fad fitness programs on the market. Make sure you find one that offers a comprehensive set of instructions on both exercise and diet.Look for a program put together by someone who has actually developed the program from their own experiences. You want proven results and testimonials from others that have had success. Look for photos demonstrating progress as well.
