  • Gain Weight: Building Muscle Without Extensive Training Strength Exercises - It is possible to gain weight without carrying out extensive training strength exercises. Building muscle (106 chars to here) is basically a balance between energy in and energy used - you just have to use it in the right place. In fact both weight loss and weight gain are a balance. Basically, when you eat you take in energy: carbohydrates, whether simple or complex, are converted to glucose which is in turn converted into energy by means of the Krebs Cycle in the mitochondria, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle. That energy which is not used up by out metabolism or by exercise is then stored either as glycogen in the liver, as fat to be used as energy source later on when it is needed, or in building muscle; the outcome is that you gain weight.

  • Getting Stronger Won't Help You Gain Weight Or Muscle! - Just about everyone that has taken on a workout routine to gain muscle and weight has been told that in order to stimulate muscular size that you must get stronger on a progressive basis. This is where the whole “lift big to get big” philosophy comes from. Most have us have been fooled to associate the lifting of heavy weights with the building and stimulating of large muscles.

In this article I’ll discuss the first reason why not: 1) Lifting heavier and heavier weight is not the main factor in stimulating muscle weight gain and growth.

This philosophy has been around for decades, and , has lead to the undeniable truth that lower reps are not the best way to build muscle without the use of anabolic steroids.

  • Gain Weight & Build Muscle W/ High Frequency, Pt 2 - In the previous article of this series, “Gain Weight & Muscle With High Frequency, pt. 1”, I began detailing why the popular belief of only training a muscle group once a week may not be the “optimum training frequency” if you are after muscular size and development…not necessarily strength.

  • How To Gain Muscle Naturally With Small Changes - Gaining weight is not that hard. Gaining muscle, however, and gaining muscle naturally, is. When I was a high school wrestler, some of us had to lose weight and some of us had to gain weight. The advice for gaining weight that we always got was, "drink lots of rootbeer shakes and eat tons of pizza." Was the advice accurate? Yes, it was. That crap will help you gain weight.

That means that if you trained your chest on Monday you don't train it again until next Monday.
