Weight Gain Guide
Following are guidance for weight gaining:
|
|
|
- A fast metabolism. The only way to get
around this burn-everything-you-eat metabolism is to eat more
than your system has the capacity to burn.
- Higher percentage endurance muscle fibre
vs. strength muscle fibre. There are two big types of muscle fibres.
One is really good at aerobic exercise (if you're me, you have
a lot of this). The other is strength fibre. Increasing body mass
requires you to avoid endurance training as much as possible,
especially during the first three weeks. You must lift weights
to increase your proportion of strength muscle fibre. Heavy weights
- Your body proportions make some exercises
difficult to do, if not impossible, without injuring yourself.
The standard overhead barbell press will hurt my back, for example.
This is because I have long arms, a short torso, and really long
legs. I have to hold the barbell a different way than Ah-nold
does. Avoiding injury will help you stay on the weight-gaining
bandwagon.
