For us hardgainers, one of our big questions has been how to gain weight with a fast metabolism.
When we have been able to eat and never gain weight, always looking skinny, how can we get bigger? If indeed it is your metabolism that is holding you up like many hardgainers you must alter your lifestyle.
You can not just turn your metabolism down to low speed.
Your body is going to do what it will based on your genetic make up.
What you can do is change the way you live your life so you burn less calories.
If you are an active person you need to slow down, a lot.
You really want to gain weight? Then do this for a couple months to see what progress you can make in your weight gain.
Stop all aerobic activity during this time.
No running, basketball, bike riding - nothing.
You are going to stop any possibility of using up your precious calories so they can go towards your weight gain.
In fact try to be lazy, lay around watching TV and relaxing every chance you get.
Do not even walk somewhere if you can ride a car.
If you are worried about losing any endurance you had gained from your previous activities do not worry about it, you can get it back after you get your weight up.
Of course you will need to eat more while you are being lazy so your calorie count will be much higher.
Go ahead and try this and see if it helps, I am sure it will.
If you want to do any kind of exercise, only lift weights doing heavy poundage's and a few reps for a quick workout a few times per week.
