best way to gain weight and bulk up?

Question

im 6'3 200 lbs and slim, I would like to gain about 30-40 lbs and start working out, what is a good diet and exercise routine. how long will it take and how long untill i notice real results

Answer 1

Add more weight to your routine and do LESS reps. per set (around 3 or 4 sets of, say, 6-8). This, along with eating foods high in Protein will benefit you most. Also, stay away from Cardio if you are wanting to GAIN; Cardio burns mass/fat/bulk off!:(

Hope this helps. A great resource for you to buy would be MEN'S HEALTH magazine.

Answer 2

Read Muscle and Fitness magazine, or Men's Fitness.

To be absolutely realistic, if you can put on 10 pounds of muscle in a year, you're doing great! You may gain more, but it will be a mix of muscle and fat, and you don't want that. You will, however, start noticing results within ten sessions of training.

You'll want to consult a personal trainer for a routine you can do: if you join a gym they may give you 2-3 lessons for free. You'll also want to add protein and quality carbs to your diet, but only to the extent you use them.

Good luck!

Answer 3

ok, first try eating more carbohydrates everyday. Then like exericise for like 20 min evryday. Wights, crunches, and pushups,and jogging
In a couple of weeks you should see your stomach with lines seperating pecs
Then in like 5 months you will look like a true man!!!!!

Answer 4

What I started to do is lift weights, and go walking/biking every day. I didn't try to eat right or anything, i started seeing results in one or three weeks. If you want to see results faster eat right along with lifting weights, and go walking/biking every day.

Answer 5

LOTS of protein is essential. If you are working out then eat about 3,000 to 4,000 calories A DAY. Make sure to avoid transfat because that will clog your arteries.
