How to Gain Weight
YOU WANT TO GAIN WEIGHT BUT YOU CAN\'T SEEM TO "BULK UP" AND BUILD
MUSCLE FAST ENOUGH...
"DISCOVER HOW A SKINNY LITTLE FIREFIGHTER WAS ABLE TO GO FROM A 147
POUND WEAKLING TO 230 POWERFUL, MUSCULAR POUNDS ALL WITHOUT ANY
SUPPLEMENTS...WHILE EATING ANY FOOD HE WANTED TO (AND EATING VERY
LITTLE PROTEIN)...ABSOLUTELY NO CARDIO...AND WORKING OUT LESS THAN 2
HOURS A WEEK!"
AFTER FINALLY FIGURING OUT HOW TO GAIN WEIGHT, I TOOK MY SKINNY 147
POUND BODY TO A MUSCULAR 230, WITHOUT USING ALMOST ANY OF THE GARBAGE
ROUTINES THAT ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND IN MAGAZINES. I GOT FED UP
WITH WORKING OUT EVERY DAY, SPENDING ALL OF MY HARD-EARNED MONEY ON
GARBAGE SUPPLEMENTS, EATING EVERY 2 HOURS, EATING A LOT OF
PROTEIN.........WITHOUT SEEING ANY RESULTS! AFTER 10 YEARS OF THIS, I
STILL LOOKED LIKE IF I DIDN\'T EVEN WORK OUT!!!!!!!

Hello, my internet friend,
My name's Jonathan Perez and I'm a Firefighter / Paramedic /
Haz-Mat Technician for the Cleveland Fire Department, in Ohio, USA.
I'm also a Certified ACE / IAFF / IAFC Firefighter Peer Fitness
Trainer. I always struggled to gain weight or muscle on my skinny 147
pound frame, at a height of 6 feet. Talk about genetics.....when my
father married my mother, he only weighed 140 pounds!
After I finally learned the shocking truths (that magazines and
so-called experts aren't sharing) I was finally able to make my body
gain weight, building over 70 pounds of muscle, putting on 5 inches on
my arms in the process. My strength shot up (I'm currently curling
over 185 pounds on the barbell). My body weight went from 147 pounds
to 230 pounds. This allowed me to be in the top 12 out of 3000 (yes,
three thousand) guys competing for one of the few positions on the
Cleveland Fire Department.
You're Being Lied To By The BodyBuilding Industry
It seems that not many individuals are willing to "go against the
grain". Let's be honest, everyone deep down inside knows that these
supplements aren't doing A THING for any of us in regards to helping
us skinny individuals gain muscle weight. If what is written in all
the magazines and on the internet were correct, then why on earth
aren't there more people walking around that actually look like they
lift weights?
The bodybuilding industry is a "monkey see, monkey do" industry, so
everyone just pretty much repeats what they heard the guy next to them
say, regardless if it works or not. Again, I speak out against
anything that is taking my hard-earned money out of my pocket or
wasting my valuable time WITHOUT GIVING ME ANY RESULTS IN RETURN. I'm
a Firefighter, so, and excuse me for being so blunt, I could care less
about what the magazines or websites say. If it doesn't work or won't
help you gain weight, then I'm going to tell you it doesn't work.
I bet your personal experience with learning how to gain muscular
weight fast, working out hours a day 5-6 days a week, eating until the
point of wanting to throw up, chugging down disgusting-tasting powders
and shakes, swallowing boatloads of pills, and the frustration of
failure to change your skinny body, is very similar to mine:
I searched and bought all the major bodybuilding and fitness
magazines, books, and videos, such as:
* Flex
* Iron man
* Muscular Development
* Muscle Media
* Musclemag International
* Men's Health
...and others
I put every routine in practice. After almost 10 years I still
looked like I had never even picked up a weight! I tried all kinds of
methods; different amounts of sets, reps, training frequencies,
speeds, rest periods, and exercises. I put into practice the
nutritional strategies.
And the money I spent on supplements was outrageous.
I had spent an average of $300.00 to $400.00 a month on worthless
"weight gain" supplements. That's about $3,600.00 to $4,800.00 a year.
Multiply that by 10 years and you have a grand total of about
$43,200.00 on supplements that did nothing at all for my body. (I
could have bought a Cadillac with that!)
Here is a list of some of the ones I used and that I recommend you
not waste your money or hopes on either:
* Creatine
* Ephedra
* Pump-Tech
* Ribose
* Mega Mass 4000
* Nortesten
* Acetabolan
* Cell-Tech
* HMB
* Cytodyne
* Cort-Bloc
* Triax
* CLA
* NAC
* Glucosamine Chondroitin
* Glutamine
* Tyrosine
* Hot Stuff
* Methoxy
* Myostatin
* Cybergenics
* Xenadrine
* Pro-Hormones (Andro)
* Chromium Piccolante
* Amino Acid Pills
* Niacin
* GH Stack
* Growth Hormone Boosters
* Testosterone Boosters
* Valerian
* Ginkgo Biloba
* St. John's Wart
* Liver Tablets
* Nerve Enhancers
...and many others
Long list, isn't it? I'm positive you've also tried some of these.
And the "kicker" for me was that I would diligently take all of these
supplements, along with combining it with all the latest training
techniques that were out there.yet I had no new muscle mass or weight
gain to show for it!
Finally, I learned of couple of hard lessons
WHY YOU AREN'T GAINING ANY WEIGHT OR MUSCLE MASS FROM THE WAY YOU
TRAIN
Let's be real honest and sincere here.
* How much muscle weight have you truly gained from all those
countless of hours, hundreds of sets, thousands of reps, and buckets
of sweat that you have lost from working out?
* Don't you feel that for the all the effort you invest when
training to gain weight you should be a lot bigger and stronger than
what you are now?
* Look at your body now and compare it to what you looked like
exactly 12 months ago. Do you really look like you have made some
tremendous gains in muscle weight and strength?
* Do you have people coming up to you everyday asking you if you
workout, if you lift weights, and how much can you lift?
* How much progress have you honestly made in the last 12 months?
Unfortunately, if you have been training for some time now and
haven't gained the kind of weight you would like, more likely than
not, one of the reasons is because you have been mislead to follow
incorrect training techniques, splits, and schedules. (I doubt you
would be reading this website right now if you were truly 100% happy
with your muscle weight - gain progress).
I can't tell you how many different routines I've tried. All of the
different amounts of sets, exercises, rep ranges. I did anywhere from
2 sets an exercise to 10. I tried between 1 rep per set all the way to
50 reps per set.
I tried using very heavy weight, and using low weight. I tried fast
reps, and I tried super-slow reps to help me gain weight fast. I did 1
exercise per muscle, and I tried 6 different exercises per muscle.
I used machines, cables, free weights, a Bow Flex, calisthenics,
plyometrics, rubber bands, and everything else in between.
I followed professional bodybuilders' routines. I tried natural
bodybuilders' routines to gain weight. I tried high volume, and low
volume.
and no results to show for it!
The problem is that magazines and websites have all been repeating
the exact same worthless routines since the beginning of time. What is
recommended only works for someone that is already a naturally larger
person and has great genetics for building muscle and gaining weight
(..oh, yeah, and steroids has a lot to do with it too).
However, for someone that can't gain muscle weight easily the
routines and training philosophies will get you nowhere fast! If what
was found on the internet or magazines worked you'd be seeing millions
of little "muscle men and women" walking around on the streets.
I don't know about you, but where I live, and everywhere that I
travel to, I hardly ever see anyone that even looks like they
workoutand that includes even inside training gyms and recreational
centers!
Well, I'm going to tell you right now that there is a very specific
number of sets, rep range, exercises, number of times to train a
muscle, rest periods, etc., that is hands-down the most effective
specifically for the skinny hardgainer looking to gain some serious
weight fast.
And guess what? You won't find it in any magazine or website. None!
I made my huge gain in muscle weight and strength while:
* working out less than 2.5 hours a week
* performing only 2 total "special" sets per muscle every 7 days
* training only 3 days a week
