How do I gain muscle mass without getting a gym membership?
Posted by Peter in Best Way To Gain Muscle on October 10, 2009
I am very skinny, it is usually recommended that I only do squats and deadlifts. How can I gain muscle mass without the use of any weights, or are weights essential to gaining mass?
There is no way without resistance with weights. Dead lifts and squats make you soar indeed; from experience. I had a gym teacher in college that recommended it and we were all hating him for a week. Just use small weights and start out with 2 sets of 12. work your way up to say 5 sets of 12 with maybe adding a set a week. Once your up to 5 sets, try moving slower with your work outs, by then you’ll start getting a high from having your muscles worked. Always stretch before each workout and work the upper one day, do some say swimming (cardiovascular) the next; then work your lower body the next day. Eating protien like eggs, meat, and fish make the workout seem easier. I have a bowflex. Good Luck.

my workout at the moment is
monday rest
tuesday chest , shoulders, upper back
wednesday rest
thursday abs ,arms, lower back ,legs
friday rest
saturday abs , lower back
sunday rest
i was just wondering if this is suitable or over the top and if it is any advice?
Like all workouts, it’s only good for about 6 weeks. After that it will need changing, or a least freshening-up a bit.
How about;
Monday- Chest, tricep & abs.
Tues- Legs.
Thurs- Back & biceps.
Fri-Shoulders & abs.
Saturday (or Sunday)-Extensive stretching and CV work.
Have a protein drink within 20 mins of finishing and, believe it or not, a coffee before will help.
Good luck.
