tips on how to gain muscle

• Eat a lot of foods. You need to eat a lot of food. Not the junk food.
  
  
• Start eating six meals per day (space them out to about once every 3 hours).
  
  
• Increase your protein intake and reduce your simple carbohydrate intake. To recover and to build your new muscle.
  
  
• Keep your workouts under one hour. Short and intense!
  
  
• Concentrate on free weight exercises that work the large muscle groups. The best weight training exercises for building mass are the simple ones. For mass, stick with compound free weight exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, barbell rows, pull ups and bar dips.
  
  
• Use heavy weights and low reps, rest 3 minutes between each set.
  
  
• Do only 2-3 exercises per body part.
  
  
• Split your workout. Since you have a very high metabolism like me, you need to train with more intensity, but less frequently.

• Increase you water intake. A good formula for this is to multiply your bodyweight by .66 to get the required number of ounces per day.
  
  
• Use nutritional supplements. If you can't afford too many products, just stick with the basics; like whey protein. If you can't afford whey protein the next best thing is egg whites.
