My name is Lyle McDonald. For years I've sought out dieting solutions that worked and I'm known in the industry for producing exactly that. I use a combination of scientific research, personal experience (and experimentation), along with the feedback I've gotten from clients, trainers, and my test subjects. People come to me for the cutting edge of nutrition and training for fat loss, muscle gain, and the science of human performance. My articles, books and newsletter have helped thousands to change their bodies for the better. You can also read my blog. |

Muscle Gaining Mistakes Although it may seem strange to talk about how to gain weight as we approach the holidays (where people typically gain weight without trying very hard), the simple fact is that, for athletes and bodybuilders, the winter (when it's cold outside and you're covered up) has always been one of the primary times that trainees focus on muscle gain. You can worry about being lean and having a six pack when it's warm and you don't look stupid being mostly nude. The winter is a good time to pack on some muscle mass and justify all that Halloween candy ("I'm bulking, bro"). But in the same way that many diets fail for a lot of reasons, there are equally common reasons that trainees fail to make the muscular gains that they desire. I want to look at several of them, addressing potential solutions along the way
Not eating enough Outside of poor training (which can be either too much or too little), not eating enough is the number one mistake I see most trainees making who can't gain muscle. This is true even of individuals who swear up, down and sideways that they eat a ton but no matter what they can't gain weight. It’s been said that ‘hardgainers’ tend to be overtrainers and undereaters and there is much truth to that. |
