I am 6 ft 1, 180 pounds how do i gain weight and get muscle mass?

Question

Ive tried everything for years....I hate being skinny, can anyone tell me how to gain weight and muscle mass??? please give lots of detail!

Answer 1

If you have tried everything then you may be genetically skinny. I am genetically fat like my grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles and mom and female cousins. I'd love to be skinny. Eat right and excercise. Stay healthy. As for muscle try eating a lot of meat and potatoes and lift weights regularly.

Answer 2

Not to sound like your typical gym rat but its true to a certain extent. You have to eat big to get big. I would suggest using a calorie tracking program to compare what you are taking in compared to what your body burns naturally. To gain weight (assuming you are weightlifting, the only way to increase muscle mass) you will want to aim for 500-700 calories over what you are burning to gain without it being much bodyfat.

Answer 3

at six feet one and 180 pounds I would suggest that you are the perfect weight for your height!
If you wish to tone up then lift light weight often.Dont get too carried away with mass unless you are an athlete. go for style and posture and get your head right.

Answer 4

lots of carbs and lots of protien. Working out is the only thing that will build mass. Lifting free weights an hour a day will build you up nicely.

Answer 5

Protein, protein, protein. Try drinking protein shakes in the morning and then maybe a bar immediately before or after your workout. And you do have to work out!
