To increase lean muscle mass, we need to take two primary considerations into account. First, we should plan about how we can stimulate muscle growth during a training session. Secondly, we should plan on how to achieve an optimal muscle growth after the training session.

The main variables of a workout session include exercise selection, intensity, repetition, sets, rest interval and tempo. One of the most effective workout programs for promoting strength gain and muscle growth is Strength Training. Strength training program features compound movements with 3-5 sets per muscle group which has been known to obtain the best results. There should be a gap of at least 48 hours between the training sessions to allow for adequate recovery.

Workout Plan for Weight Gain; DAY 1 -Lower Body workout

  • Warm up of 5 minutes
  • Followed by squats

squat

A squat involves standing with your feet width apart and tightening the abdomen with dumbbells held at shoulders. Then by extending your buttocks backward, you need to bend your knees.

  • Jogging

End Note –

All the above mentioned exercises are excellent for gaining upper body muscle mass and develop a good physique. One needs to focus on proper muscle growth and development to gain healthy weight. The muscles in your body thrive on high calorie foods and exercise. Hence doing a regular exercise is a must to put on weight as it is not possible to achieve weight gain overnight.  But before beginning with a strength training  workout plan for Weight Gain, you need to fully understand the importance of muscle recovery process.

 

Importance Of Proper Rest And Fueling

It is important to keep in mind that our muscles grow when we allow for a proper recovery. In order to create an optimal environment for the growth of muscles, adequate sleep is of prime consideration. During sleep, a hormone called as Somatropin which is commonly known as HGH i.e Human Growth Hormone is released which aids in muscle growth. Lack of sleep does not give the body enough time to recover fully from the stresses of the workout.
