Gaining weight through
building muscle in the gym is a very effective way to look
fantastic.
However you will need to
focus on your diet as well as using the right weight training plan
The right training plan will make all the difference, in addition you will
also need to focus on your diet.

1. Diet
The importance of what you eat and when can not be overstated. The
very worst thing you can do (as for any other sport) is to start on an empty
tank. Not only will you be draining your system of energy - you will
also not get the best possible results.
Before any activity do take in some easily absorbed carbohydrates - the best
time to have protein is within 1 1/2 hour after training, as your
muscles need high quality protein to rebuild.

2. The types of exercise
The key to your success will be the resistance (weight) training
regime you follow.

2a. Try your local gym first
Your local fitness instructor might be able to provide advice (but do
check what experience he has as most tend to specialise in weight loss).
Most gyms have the right type of equipment to build muscles and shape. Try
to get specific advice based on your own objectives - for example there is a
major difference between wanting to build an "impressive" upper torso or
wanting to avoid the "skinny legs" challenge.
However you should be able to get the right advice from your gym.

2b. Downloadable Manuals
Alternatively there are a variety of downloadable manuals. They
are very effective and will really speed up
your results.
Try to avoid all the 'cheapo' guides you see on the net - they are really
not worth getting. If you don't have any money one option is to check in
your local library.
It is very important to realise that you will be changing your weights and
resistance plan as you grow and get bigger.
Below you will find the top 3 plans - they will all help and
provide you with a detailed plan. (however we do recommend your local
gym as a first resort as they will be able to provide you with the
'personal' touch)
