How To Build Muscle And Gain Weight Quickly Part I
By VINCE DELMONTE
Do you know how to build muscle and gain weight quickly?
If you knew how to build muscle fast, then the skinny jokes would
have ended long ago. If you knew how to gain weight quickly, then the blank stares would stop,
when you tell someone you work out with weights. You would no longer feel frustrated, that the
scale has not budged upwards, since you first started lifting.
I know from experience what it feels like to train for hours in the gym,
slug back protein shake after protein shake, spend your hard earned money on over-priced and over-hyped
supplements, with little or nothing to show for it! If this is you, than you're not alone, and are probably
missing a few key ingredients.

If you're a naturally skinny person, you must play by a different set of
rules. If you are not gifted with muscle friendly genes, does it make sense to follow a program by
someone who builds muscle, even when they sneeze? If you're training drug free, does it make sense to take
advice from a guy who’s spending a few thousand dollars a month on steroids?
Or maybe you're taking advice from someone with great
genetics? That’s like taking money advice from someone who inherited a fortune! You must accept
the fact, if you have muscle 'unfriendly' genes, to be prepared to play by a different set of rules, to
build muscle and turn heads!
Here are a few simple tips to show you - the skinny guy - how to
build muscle, and gain weight quickly :
TRAIN LIKE A BARBARIAN!
Do people stop and watch you work out? Do you reach the point in a
workout where you question your ability to finish? If you treat working out more like a hobby, than a job,
it’s no surprise that you do not stand out in a crowd, and are spinning your wheels.
The majority of people that work out in a gym barely sweat. They
spend more time starring in the mirror, and trying to impress the new front desk girl, than getting into the
‘zone’, and crashing through previous training limits.
Here are tips on how to 'train like a barbarian':
- 1. Treat every single set like it is your last.
- 2. Treat every single rep like your life depends on it.
- 3. Wear a stop watch and ensure that you keep the rest
period honest.
- 4. Wear a sweater, so you can’t stare at yourself in the
mirror.
- 5. Wear a head set that tells others ‘do not disturb.’
- 6. No girl friends allowed, or wimpy guy friends compromising the
intensity of your workout.
- 7. Train with an intensity that scares the gym shorts off of every
person in your path.
Are you starting to get the picture? There is a philosophy that
simply states, “You get what you focus on.” Focus on training like a barbarian, and you will soon start
looking like a barbarian!
Give your muscles a reason to
grow!
Guess what happens when you train at the same intensity you did in
a previous workout? Your muscles laugh back at you and say, “Nice try, we did this workout before, and can handle
this stress! Is that your attempt on getting us to grow?”
Don’t get caught up in the latest hype of bodybuilding and fitness
magazines. Most of it is rehashed, and packaged slicker to sell magazines. There are two forms of
training that must be cycled, in a successful weight training program:
1. HEAVY
HEAVY HEAVY!
Put everything into lifting heavier weights and getting as strong as possible. Use only
one compound exercise per major muscle group, and focus on a 5% increase in
strength from week to week. This will ensure neuromuscular development, and target the fast
twitch muscle fibers, which have the greatest opportunity for growth.
2. VOLUME
VOLUME VOLUME!
Expose your body to
as much work possible, in the shortest period of time. Placing your muscles under more tension, will result
in more tapped and untrained muscle fiber being recruited, therefore more muscle growth! The key is to find the
correct balance in time and work. Volume training does not mean 2 hour gym
workouts, lifting light weights. Instead, lift heavy weights, close to your max threshold,
with shorter rest periods, slower tempos, and more exercise selection per muscle
group.
No more program hopping!
Sure, it’s easier to test drive a program for a few weeks, say it
does not work, and move on to the next latest ‘breakthrough’ program. This is called the blame game, and
neglecting responsibility! Do you think you will become rich if you test out a new job for a few weeks, and
then call it quits when your first paycheck does not meet your expectations? No way! But if you
stay with the company, and exploit the companies benefits and opportunities to the fullest, than you
will succeed.
The reality is every program will work for a certain period
of time, if it is done at the right intensity, and as the author has written.
Find a program, and study the details in it’s entirety. Ensure that
the program goals of the author are in alignment with yours, and study the fine details. Do not ask
a million questions, try and find holes or flaws, or attempt to make it ‘perfect.’ The perfect program
does not exist. Trust the program, follow it honestly, and monitor the progress. The experience and
results you gain from following one program, for a consistent period of time, will be priceless.
