Everyone wants more muscle and most people want it sooner rather than later. The problem is that many people are putting in immense time and effort but seeing very limited results. If that rings a bell then have a read of these tips, apply them and I can almost guarantee if you weren’t doing these things before then you will undoubtedly start getting more muscle mass! Here are great fast ways to gain weight:
 
Tip 1: Control your cortisol levels. Acting as an opposite to testosterone as the hormone cortisol. This means that in order to build muscle we need to produce as little amount of this hormone as possible. There are 2 essential things you have to do to achieve this

a) Limit your workout to a maximum of one hour. When stress is placed on muscles then cortisol is released. Lifting weights is obviously stressful for the bodies muscles and of course it is produced. Its level of production rises dramatically after the 45 minute mark so after that time training needs to cease or you will actually be enabling the cortisol to eat away at your muscles and disrupt your muscle building efforts significantly.
 
b) Keep your CV training sessions to a minimum. Again aerobic training places lots of stress on the body therefore they ought to be kept to a sensible frequency, 2 or 3 twenty minutes workouts per week would be ok if you are trying to put on muscle mass.
 
Tip 2: Adopt the GOMAD lifestyle. Not really go mad but try the GOMAD approach. This abbreviation stands for a Gallon Of Milk A Day. Not consuming enough calories is one of the main reasons people do not grow, you need extra calories to build muscle from. Simply put if you fail to take on board a net surplus amount of calories then you will never have any spare calories to support muscle growth and thus never gain any muscle mass regardless of how hard you train.
 
Milk is a great source of protein rammed full of useful calories ensuring you will never go short.
 
Tip 3: Bang out squats! Do squats as a minimum of once per week. This exercise stimulates all major muscle groups to some extent as a stable core is required to perform them correctly. Your body is pumped full of muscle building hormones whilst performing squats due to it being such a stressful exercise for the muscles. You will get a real head start with your muscle building if you include this exercise in your muscle building routine.
