genetics, it also took years of dedicated weight lifting, strict diets, and sheer will power for these men to build those super muscular bodies.
Chances are, you want a muscular body, maybe not one as big as Coleman or Cutler, since you'll almost certainly have to take steroids and other bodybuilding drugs to get that big, but bigger than you are now. Whether you're just looking to impress the ladies, or to be the star of a bodybuilding competition, you will most certainly want to gain weight fast. Depending on how much time and effort you want to put into it, you can have a more muscular body in anywhere from six weeks to six months.
Gaining weight fast depends a lot on your body type. There are 3 main body types - ectomorphic, endomorphic, and mesomorphic. Ectomorphs are naturally skinny people who have longer and leaner limbs. They have the toughest time gaining weight quickly and should try eating a lot to pack on the pounds. Endomorphs tend to hold more fat and shouldn't have a problem gaining body weight - though they will have to watch their fat gains. Mesomorphs are naturally athletic people and shouldn't have too much trouble gaining weight and muscle mass.
Quickly gaining weight is not as easy as it may sound. Because you're trying to build up muscle mass and not fat, a carefully monitored diet is a must. Two methods are the best to gain weight fast. Option one is to eat an almost exclusively protein diet, and experience the results immediately. Option two is to eat a high protein diet with some fat, and lose the body fat during the later winter months. The second method is known as cutting, though you really don't want to keep gaining and losing a lot of weight all of the time.
Eating protein rich foods like red meat and fish are best if you're trying to gain weight fast. This means tuna, lean steak and chicken breast should be staples of your diet. Other foods like non greasy or fatty pizza, fruits, and eggs are suitable menu items as well.
Although meats will provide much bulking material because of their protein content, a person can not live on just meat alone. Carbohydrates are essential to your energy levels and are found primarily in grains like rice, pasta, bread, and beans. Be careful not to over-do your carbohydrate intake, because even though you'll gain weight fast, you're likely to gain a lot of fat too.
