How To Gain Weight With A Fast Metabolism

In this video, I'm going to talk to you about how to gain weight if you've got a fast metabolism. Now, if you've got a fast metabolism and you're looking to gain weight, and you're quite skinny, you've got to do two things: you've got to train very hard, with heavy weights, and you've got to eat a lot of food. Let's talk about the food part first.

Now, in doing weights, a lot of people talk about protein, protein, protein; however, it's really important to have a high carbohydrate diet. This, essentially, at the basic statistic level, pushes the protein into the muscles. You can't get bigger just by using protein alone.

You have to have a high carbohydrates and a high protein diet. So, whatever you're doing now, add an extra thousand calories to your diet, and that should help you. Next, the training - you have to do compound lifting.

Compound lifting means you're working more than one muscle group at a time. So rather than, say, a bicep curl and then a row, do a pull-up. Pull-ups work your arms and your back at the same time.

It's harder, chemically speaking, you activate more muscle fibers, so they break down and they build up stronger and harder. So, do compound lifting. Also, look at your rep range.

If you're doing reps of around about twenty or thirty reps, it's endurance. You're not actually going to get bigger and stronger. You need to actually have less reps; go get a weight that is heavy enough that you can only do it around about eight, nine, or ten times maximum.

And finally, split your body parts up. So, one day, do upper body, and the next day, do lower body. Or you could do chest and triceps one day, and back and biceps next day, and legs the third day.

There are actually various kinds of body-building style models you can use for that to get results this way. So to recap, you need to eat a lot, especially carbohydrates and protein. You need to train with heavy weights working the big muscles, you know, like the squats, the pull-ups, the dips, the dead lifts that fit the big muscle groups.

Do this, and you'll definitely gain weight and get bigger, even if you do have a fast metabolism. .
