How do I gain muscle mass by working out, instead of loosing weight?
Hello, My name is Sam and i’m a 20 year old college student. I want to start working out gain muscle mass, but not loose any weight. I’m 5’2" and only weigh around 90 pounds. Both of my parents are skinny, and we all have fast metabolisms. I want to get in shape, but I’m afraid by working out I’ll loose weight instead of gaining muscle. I need some suggestions on what type of workout I should do to gain weight.
Thanks,
Sam
Man I know how you feel! I was 6 tall and 100 pounds when I first went to college. I could eat a whole cheese cake and lose weight. I worked out and ate constantly but got very little results. I found out at about 25 that I was doing it all wrong. When your naturally skinny you have to not only adjust what you eat but when you eat. Don’t worry about working out and losing weight when your trying to gain it. You would be surprised at how much of a visible difference it makes if you lose 5lbs of body weight of fat (even though your skinny you do have some fat on you) and put on 5lbs of muscle. Your weight will have stayed the same but the physical transformation and how you look will be night and day. The site below outlines a program tailored around skinny people trying to gain weight. The guy that designed it used to be one of us "skinny guys" when he was younger to. It has meal plans, tells you what to eat and when to eat it as well as exercises to help you gain the weight you want.
